The Longhorns have ridden two strong starting pitching performances from Ruger Riojas and Luke Harrison to a pair of victories over the Aggies. Now, they’ll turn the ball over to last year’s SEC Freshman of the Year, Dylan Volantis, who is making the move to the starting rotation after excelling in relief last season. 

Texas’ lineup has shown well through two games, too, with 18 runs against UC Davis pitching. Second baseman Ethan Mendoza has been the standout performer so far, ending Friday night’s game with a three-run home run that triggered the mercy rule before smashing a two-run shot Saturday. 

Follow along with our live coverage of Sunday’s game, below: 

Dylan Volantis needed just six pitches to retire the side in the top half of the inning. In the bottom of the frame, Texas loaded the bases on Ethan Mendoza’s single and a pair of walks, but could not cash in.
