Texas baseball score updates vs UT Arlington today: Longhorns host Mavericks
A 15-game ramp-up to SEC play for Texas baseball concludes on Tuesday when the Longhorns host UT Arlington at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
The Longhorns (13-1) have the opportunity to score a 14th consecutive win after dropping their season opener to Louisville. The 13-1 start is their best since 2005, when Texas began the season 16-0 and eventually won the national championship.
Coach Jim Schlossnagle's team is coming off a series sweep of Santa Clara over the weekend. UT Arlington dropped two out of three games at Louisiana-Monroe. The lone common opponent between the Longhorns and Mavericks is Oklahoma State; Texas beat the Cowboys 14-8 on Feb. 16 while UTA dropped 19-4 and 10-4 decisions to Oklahoma State the following week.
The Longhorns are expected to hand the ball to freshman right-hander Drew Rerick. It's a change in tact for Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle, who had been relying on freshman Jason Flores in midweek action with great success.

Bryce Navarre allowed his first run in 2⅔ innings of work on a two-out single in the ninth, leading the Longhorns to turn to Thomas Burns to secure the final out.
After Bryce Navarre completed a second inning of scoreless relief for Texas, Ethan Mendoza finally came up with the big hit for the Longhorns, spraying a two-run triple into the right field corner that scored Will Gasparino and Cole Chamberlain. Jalin Flores followed with a sacrifice fly, and Adrian Rodriguez's third hit of the night drive in the fourth Texas run of the inning.

UTSA takes down No. 2 national seed Texas 7-4 for first trip to super regionals
Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Norris McClure went 3 for 5 with a two-run homer in the first inning and UTSA added five runs in the third to help eliminate No. 2 national seed Texas 7-4 on Sunday night for the Austin Regional championship. UTSA (47-13) advances to the program's first super regionals. The Roadrunners were 0-6 in their first three NCAA Tournament appearances before winning three straight this season, including a 9-7 victory over the Longhorns on Saturday. McClure's sixth home run of the season went over the right-field wall for a 2-0 lead. The UTSA defense came up big on multiple occasions, beginning in the third. James Taussig made a catch at the warning track in left field and quickly got it to the cut-off man for a rocket to third to end the inning on a double play. Ty Hodge lined a shot to center that went off the center fielder's glove to clear the bases for a 6-0 lead. Mason Lytle added a two-out single for a seven-run lead. Lytle, the American Athletic Conference defensive player of the year, made a diving catch on the warning track in center to save a run in the fourth. Gunnar Brown (4-2) allowed only one earned run and six hits in a five-inning start for UTSA. Robert Orloski struck out four in three innings to earn his ninth save. Hudson Hamilton went only one inning in his start for Texas (44-14). The Longhorns were hosting a regional for the 38th time in program history. ___ AP sports: recommended in this topic
