Texas baseball vs UTSA game score: Live updates as Longhorns fall behind in NCAA regional
With its season on the line, the Texas baseball team will look for some regional revenge. Texas and UTSA are set to meet at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Sunday night in the Austin Regional final. This is the third game between Texas and UTSA this season. UTSA bested Texas in 12 innings back on March 18, and then recorded a 9-7 win in the winners bracket on Saturday. Since Texas (44-13) has lost once in the Austin Regional and UTSA (46-13) is undefeated, the Longhorns will have to beat the Roadrunners tonight and again on Monday in order to advance to a super regional. UTSA, which before Friday's 10-2 triumph against Kansas State had never before won a game in the NCAA Tournament, will move on with just one more win. Stay tuned for live updates. Desperate to keep UTSA from running away with this game, Texas called closer Dylan Volantis out of the bullpen during the fifth inning. Volantis pitched three innings against UTSA on Saturday night. Volantis recorded two outs in the fifth frame. Texas got on the scoreboard in the fourth inning on Casey Borba's RBI double. A fly ball to right field, however, ended the inning and stranded two runners in scoring position. Texas had a change to cut more into its deficit, but UTSA centerfielder Mason Lytle showed why he was named the American Athletic Conference's defensive player of the year. Lytle made a diving catch near the wall to rob Jalin Flores of an extra-base hit and keep Borba on second base. Before Texas made its second pitching change of the evening, Ethan Walker hit the last two UTSA batters he was asked to face. The second plunking occurred with the bases loaded so UTSA extended its lead to 3-0. After Walker's exit, UTSA shortstop Ty Hodge greeted Max Grubbs with a bases-clearing double. Mason Lytle later brought Hodge home with a RBI single. Texas ended up hitting three batters during the third inning, and the Longhorns have 102 HBPs this season. Since 1967, Texas had hit 70 batters once (85 HBP in 2002). Texas ran its way out of a scoring opportunity in the third inning. The Longhorns had runners on first and second base with one out when Kimble Schuessler stung a ball to the warning track in right field. UTSA outfielder James Taussig made a nice catch, and the Roadrunners were then able to get a tagging Rylan Galvan out at third base. It appears that Texas will use a piecemeal pitching plan tonight. After Hudson Hamilton started and allowed a two-run homer in the first inning, Ethan Walker opened the second inning on the mound for Texas. Walker started and pitched 1 ⅔ innings in UT's regional opener on Friday. Thanks to two free passes and an error, UTSA got runners to the corners against Walker in the second inning. But a harmless fly ball to right field ended the threat. Behind a big swing from Norris McClure, the Roadrunners have struck first. The UTSA third baseman hammered a Hudson Hamilton offering over the fence in right field for a two-run highlight. Two of Norris' six homers this season have been hit at UFCU Disch-Falk Field this weekend. He also went deep in UTSA's regional opener against Kansas State. After stranding 14 runners on base last night, Texas again struggled to find a clutch hit against UTSA. Ethan Mendoza and Rylan Galvan led off the game with singles but UTSA starter Gunnar Brown got outs out of the next three at-bats. A strikeout of Adrian Rodriguez left Mendoza on third base. Texas is the designated visitor for this game at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. 2B Ethan Mendoza C Rylan Galvan RF Max Belyeu 1B Kimble Schuessler LF Adrian Rodriguez 3B Casey Borba SS Jalin Flores DH Jonah Williams CF Will Gasparino CF Mason Lytle RF James Taussig 3B Norris McClure 1B Lorenzo Morresi DH Garrett Gruell LF Caden Miller 2B Jordan Ballin SS Ty Hodge C Andrew Stucky RHP Hudson Hamilton (0-0, 2.45 ERA) RHP Gunnar Brown (3-2, 7.85 ERA) Time: 7:06 p.m. CT Date: June 1 Location: UFCU Disch-Falk Field TV: ESPN+ Radio: The Longhorn Radio Network Follow the American-Statesman on Facebook and X for more.

Longhorns closer named Golden Spikes Award Semifinalist
Longhorns closer named Golden Spikes Award Semifinalist Dylan Volantis rewarded for his stellar play Following an impressive regular season, Dylan Volantis is earning national recognition for his play. The Longhorns star has been named a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award. During his first year as the closer, the Longhorns freshman was a human highlight reel while etching his name into the record books. In 43.1 innings, Volantis posted a 1.66 ERA and struck out 64 batters. He also showed excellent control by only walking 11 batters and allowing three home runs. As he frustrated opponents on a nightly basis, the Westlake High School product was one of the Longhorns' most used arms. Additionally, the talented lefty was one of the best in the country in high-pressure situations with 12 saves. 11 of those came in conference play, which was the most by a freshman in SEC history. He thrived with a 1.59 ERA in conference play while holding opponents to a .160 batting average. What stood out about Volantis was his ability to dominate a lineup regardless of the opponent. His diverse pitch mix and ability to attack the zone made him a matchup nightmare. That is bad news for the rest of the conference, as Volantis is just getting started. While his ultimate goal is to help the Longhorns win a championship, Volantis could not have asked for a better start to his college career. Just being a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes award is an impressive accomplishment. If he can continue to build on his play, it would not be a surprise to see him in the mix for the award next year. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @LonghornsWire.
