Falling behind 6-1 is a poor way to win a rubber match.
The Longhorns did just enough offensively to benefit from strong performance by their left-handed starter and right-handed closer.
Texas starting pitcher Charlie Hurley threw six strong innings while Max Belyeu and Jared Thomas belted home runs in a 6-0 win over the Mustangs on Saturday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The win clinches the series win for the Longhorns with a possible sweep coming Sunday.
The pitching staff for the Longhorns hasn’t given up a run for 19 consecutive innings.
Flores' big swing came in the sixth inning and punctuated a 5-run frame that turned a 3-1 Toreros lead into a 6-3 Texas advantage. Flores pummeled a 1-2 pitch that had to cut through wins from an oncoming cold front, and it landed in the brand-new Yeti Yard seating area beyond left field, which led to various beverages being tossed in the air as a celebration.
