No. 3 Texas Sweeps UC Davis Behind Volantis’ Dominant First Start

Texas now eyes a midweek test against Lamar with Jason Flores slated to start as staff roles continue to take shape.

Overview

Left-hander Dylan Volantis, newly moved from relief to the rotation, allowed one hit with eight strikeouts over seven innings in a 9-1 finale.
Coaches introduced a changeup into Volantis’ mix and limited him to 78 pitches before freshman Michael Winter finished two scoreless innings.
A six-run third inning sealed the sweep, highlighted by Adrian Rodriguez’s bases-clearing double after Texas stranded early opportunities.
Freshman Anthony Pack Jr. capped his debut weekend hitting .545, while Ethan Mendoza collected multiple hits and run-producing swings across the series.
Following the 3-0 start, Texas holds the No. 3 spot in On3’s rankings and hosts Lamar on Tuesday, with sophomore right-hander Jason Flores set to open the game.
