AUSTIN (KXAN) \u2014 After hammering Oklahoma 14-0 in the series opener Thursday, the Texas baseball team completed its first Southeastern Conference sweep of the season with a pair of walk-off, extra-inning wins Friday and Saturday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.<\/p>\n

The No. 2 Longhorns topped the Sooners 4-3 Friday and 5-4 Saturday, both in 10 innings, to move to 23-4 overall and 7-2 in SEC play. It was the first time in series history between the bitter rivals that there had been consecutive extra-inning games, and it was the first sweep of the Sooners since 2014.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Casey Borba played the hero with his only hit of the game. His single up the middle plated Adrian Rodriguez for the game-winning run, and came after Oklahoma walked the bases loaded.<\/p>\n

Texas played from behind most of the game after the Sooners jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 2.5 innings. Carson Tinney smacked a 2-run home run in the third to draw the Longhorns within a run at 3-2, but a bases-loaded walk for the Sooners stretched their lead to 4-2 in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Ethan Mendoza had an RBI single in the seventh, and then Rodriguez reached on a fielder\u2019s choice to drive in Tinney to tie it at 4-4 in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Haiden Leffew earned the pitching win out of the bullpen after working the ninth and 10th, not allowing a hit with three strikeouts. Starting pitcher Dylan Volantis struck out seven over 5.2 innings, allowing four runs on nine hits.<\/p>\n

Mendoza and Tinney each had two hits, and Anthony Pack Jr. stole a base.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Ashton Larson had the big hit in extras, delivering a line drive down the left field line to score Temo Becerra in the 10th to complete the comeback. Tineny tied the game at 3-3 with an RBI single in the ninth, his second RBI of the game.<\/p>\n

Larson had two hits, and Borba walked three times. Oklahoma walked Texas 12 times.<\/p>\n
