AUSTIN, Texas \u2014\u00a0With No. 4 Texas down to its final two outs, Carson Tinney<\/a> launched a walk-off two-run homer to lift the Longhorns to a 15-14 win over Sam Houston at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Tinney’s second home run of the contest helped the Longhorns (33-9) erase their third different\u00a0deficit of the evening, including a once six-run hole.<\/p>\n

The 463-foot game-winning blast \u2014 Texas’ fourth round-tripper of the night \u2014 capped off the Longhorns’ largest comeback victory since rallying for a 12-8 win against Oklahoma on April 3, 2022.<\/p>\n

In the top of the ninth, the Bearkats (20-25) regained the lead on Kirby Orth’s two-run shot, propelling the visitors to a 14-12 edge.<\/p>\n

After Ashton Larson<\/a> was hit by a pitch to open the bottom half, pinch runner Jayden Duplantier<\/a> swiped second.<\/p>\n

Sam Houston right-hander Noah Kendrick (1-2) bounced back with a strikeout to flip the order to Aiden Robbins<\/a>. Robbins registered an RBI single to bring Texas within a run, setting the stage for Tinney’s heroics two pitches later.<\/p>\n

The inning prior, the Longhorns pulled level for the second time, as Temo Becerra<\/a> delivered a run-scoring base hit to plate Anthony Pack Jr.<\/a> Becerra’s third knock of the evening tied the tilt, 12-12.<\/p>\n

Despite trailing by as many as six, Texas grabbed its first advantage in the middle innings.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns notched eight unanswered tallies in the fifth and sixth, highlighted by Casey Borba’s<\/a> three-run jack, Robbins’ game-tying 413-foot solo shot and Ethan Mendoza’s<\/a>\u00a0go-ahead two-RBI double.<\/p>\n

Robbins’ team-best 18th\u00a0home run matched Scott Bryant (1989), Max Belyeu<\/a> (2024) and Jalin Flores<\/a> (2024) for\u00a0the eight-most by a Texas player in a season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mendoza’s extra-base hit pushed the Longhorns in front, 11-9.<\/p>\n

In a contest that featured five lead changes, the Bearkats raced out to an 8-2 cushion, punctuated by Wes Baker’s third-inning grand slam. Once Texas gain control in the sixth, Baker followed with a go-ahead three-run blast the very next frame.<\/p>\n

The three-hour, 58-minute marathon featured 14 different pitchers, with left-hander Kade Bing<\/a> (1-1) earning the victory.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns continue their five-game homestand against No. 10 Mississippi State on Friday. The series opener is set for 6:30 p.m. at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas \u2014\u00a0With No. 4 Texas down to its final two outs, Carson Tinney launched a walk-off two-run…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-271052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
