Longhorns catcher Rylan Galvan adds to his trophy case
Longhorns catcher Rylan Galvan adds to his trophy case Longhorns catcher Rylan Galvan receives national honors for his play
While the Longhorns 2025 campaign is over, honors are still rolling in. The latest Longhorn to add some hardware to their trophy case is catcher Rylan Galvan, who has been named an All-American. After a career year, Galvan's latest award comes as no surprise.
During his junior season, Galvan appeared in 56 games and was an anchor in the Longhorns lineup. He set career highs in home runs with 15, RBI with 47, and hits with 55. For the third straight year, the Texas native set new career highs in games played and took his play to another level.
This is not the first time Galvan has made headlines since the Longhorns' regular season ended. Last week, he was named a finalist for the Buster Poset Award. Each year, the award is given to the best catcher in Division 1 baseball. The Longhorns star will know his fate for that honor by the end of the month.
Whenever Galvan was in the lineup, Texas had a bat that could make a difference and a catcher pitchers could trust. He caught nine runners stealing and only committed four errors. The Sinton High School product finished the 2025 campaign with a .992 fielding percentage.
Due to his stellar season, Galvan's stock is on the rise. He only has one year left of eligibility and has the potential to be a very good star at the next level. Regardless of what the future holds, he has made the most of his time at Texas while continually earning national recognition for his play.

Oregon State opens College World Series with 4-3 walk-off win over Louisville
OMAHA, Neb. -- Aiva Arquette scored from first base on Gavin Turley's drive into the left-field corner in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Oregon State a 4-3 walk-off victory over Louisville in the College World Series on Friday night. The Cardinals had tied it with two runs in the top half before Oregon State recorded its fourth walk-off win of the season and second in four games. The No. 8 national seed Beavers (48-14-1), back in Omaha for the first time since they won the national title in 2018, will play Coastal Carolina on Sunday after the Cardinals (40-22) meet Arizona in an elimination game. Arquette, a projected first-round pick in the MLB amateur draft next month, was having a rough night in the field before delivering his third base hit of the game with one out in the ninth. Turley then sent the first pitch from Jake Schweitzer (4-2) on a line into the corner. Left fielder Zion Rose tried to cut the ball off but couldn't come up with it, allowing Arquette to be waved home. 'It was cool because it's the same thing every at-bat for us — go up and compete and hit the ball hard,' Turley said. 'Knowing we had the top of the lineup up, I knew we had a chance to do something dangerous.' Turley was drenched with a bucket of sports drink during the on-field celebration. In the Beavers' super regional opener last week, Turley scored the winning run on AJ Singer's walk-off single in a 5-4, 10-inning win over Florida State. Louisville was left to regroup. 'They took advantage of an unfortunate situation for us, just a little hiccup here or there and you get walked off in the ninth,' Cardinals coach Dan McDonnell said. 'Must have been a great game for everybody to watch and enjoy. A lot of good baseball. We came up on the short end.' The Cardinals, who trailed 3-1, stranded runners at third base in the sixth and seventh innings and couldn't score after getting their leadoff man on base in the eighth. They broke through to tie it in the ninth against Kellan Oakes (5-0). Rose tripled to left when the ball got past Turley and rolled to the wall and Tague Davis followed with an RBI single. Alex Alicea reached on shortstop Arquette's throwing error and ended up on third when catcher Wilson Weber lost his grip on the ball as he tried to get Alicea at second. Kamau Neighbors drove in Alicea for the tying run with his liner to center before Oakes got a strikeout and groundout to end the inning. Oregon State starter Dax Whitney was nearly untouchable the first two times through Louisville's order. He mixed mid-90 mph fastballs with knee-buckling curveballs and changeups to strike out eight of the first 11 batters he faced, and the only hits against him through five innings were a couple balls poked through the infield. The 6-foot-5 right-hander from Blackfoot, Idaho, finished with nine strikeouts and left with one out in the sixth and two runners on base. Louisville starter Patrick Forbes matched zeroes with Whitney through three innings, fanning five of the first nine he faced. He finished with 10 strikeouts and was replaced by Justin West with bases loaded in the sixth after he issued his only walk. West ended the inning with two strikeouts, but not before Canon Reeder made it 3-1 when Alicea couldn't pick up his sharply hit grounder. Oregon State traditionally has not done things the easy way in the CWS. The Beavers lost their openers in five of their previous seven appearances. In 2018, when they won their third national championship, they had to win six elimination games. This year, the Beavers won four win-or-go-home games in regionals and another in the super regionals. Avoiding the loser's bracket is a welcome change. 'It definitely is nice to not have to go through that from the get-go,' catcher Wilson Weber said.

A Chelmsford Division 1 baseball championship 59 years and nine innings in the making
But to give the town its long-awaited triumph, the 14th-seeded Lions (19-8) needed their superstar — senior Matt Stuart — to put in a herculean effort. That's exactly what the Gardner-Webb committed righthander did. Stuart fired a complete game, striking out six and surrendering just a pair of runs, and added three hits and a run at the plate. End 7: Chelmsford 2, Braintree 2 After surrendering a leadoff single, Matt Stuart strikes out the side to send this game to extras in his seventh inning of work. Polar Park is absolutely bumping. Free baseball in the D1 final. — Mike Puzzanghera (@mpuzzanghera) Stuart ran into trouble in both the seventh and eighth innings, with the Wamps (16-9) having chances to walk it off, but picked up big inning-ending strikeouts each time. 'He's the best player in Massachusetts, and I'll argue with anybody who says he's not,' coach Lou DiStasi said. 'He's probably the best player to ever come through Chelmsford High School, and for him to earn a state title is the greatest thing ever.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Freshman Aidan Brackett provided the go-ahead single in the ninth, kickstarting a six-run rally. Senior Matt Hall followed with a sacrifice fly to score Stuart, then a two-run single from senior John Latham (3 hits, 2 2B) served as the dagger.

He looked to be hurt earlier in the game, stayed in, and now delivers in the clutch. — Mike Puzzanghera (@mpuzzanghera) 'I always knew our bats were going to come through eventually,' Stuart said. 'That's what our team's done, we've just battled all year. We were the 14th seed, and we just won the state championship.' Stuart's final complete game finished off a phenomenal postseason run — he fired shutouts against No. 19 Shrewsbury and No. 11 Wellesley to reach this round, with senior Finn Ramseyer winning the Lions' other two games against No. 3 Bishop Feehan and No. 2 St. John's (Shrewsbury).

'He's going to Gardner-Webb for a reason. He's the best we've got. He's done it all season. I mean, speechless, honestly. He's just an absolute beast out there.' Sophomore Luke Joyce fired 6⅓ innings of two-run ball for Braintree, senior Peter Brooks added three hits and a run, and senior Matt Rogers added two hits and the tying RBI in the bottom of the sixth inning.
