After a disastrous first inning and a 7-1 loss in the College World Series opener to the Georgia<\/a> Bulldogs, the Texas Longhorns<\/a> face elimination today against the Alabama Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n Texas ace Dylan Volantis had one of the worst outings of his season, hitting four batters and making a mess of a first inning that saw the Bulldogs score four runs. Star Texas catcher Carson Tinney committed two errors in the inning that doomed UT from the star.<\/p>\n At the plate, the Longhorns bats were mostly quiet, only managing one run thanks to Adrian Rodriguez and Ethan Mendoza.<\/p>\n The Longhorns face Alabama for the fourth time this year. Texas won the SEC series back in April 2-1. But UT lost to Bama pitcher Myles Upchurch, who is an option at starting pitcher today.<\/p>\n Texas will throw Ruger Riojas, who is 5-2 on the year with a 4.04 ERA.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
