While the New York Yankees might be referred to as the Bronx Bombers for their home-run-hitting ways, Texas could be nicknamed something along the lines of the Longhorn Long Ballers for all of their lengthy hits and seemingly unstoppable offense.<\/p>\n
Texas Longhorns demolish Tarleton State and Holy Cross<\/p>\n
In the first game of the postseason, Texas earned the most runs that the program has seen in over two decades, defeating the Crusaders 19-1 behind Pack’s three home runs, Robbins’ two homers, and Jayden Duplantier’s grand slam.<\/p>\n
The Horns smacked out 21 total hits and gave up just eight as the bullpen produced a nearly flawless performance<\/a>, holding Holy Cross to zero runs until the top of the ninth inning.<\/p>\n Then, in the second postseason game, the Longhorns were nearly as dominant on offense, exacting revenge on the Tarleton State Texans, who defeated Texas in the regular season.<\/p>\n This time around, five different players each hit a home run, to push the Horns’ winning score up 16-2 and improve their postseason record to 2-0. Pack and Robbins both hit homers in the second inning, alongside catcher Carson Tinney.<\/p>\n Junior Ethan Mendoza hit a solo home run in the third, and sophomore Adrian Rodriguez brought in the last run of the game with his solo home run in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
