Overview
- Texas led 7-3 entering the ninth before Thomas Burns hit two batters and issued a walk that set up Ole Miss cleanup hitter Tristan Bissetta’s grand slam.
- The Longhorns tied it on Temo Becerra’s two-out single in the ninth, then after two hit batters opened the 11th, Max Grubbs walked in the go-ahead run.
- Ethan Mendoza, Casey Borba and freshman Anthony Pack Jr. homered, yet Texas left the potential winning run at second in both the ninth and 10th.
- The SEC opener at UFCU Disch-Falk Field moved Ole Miss to 16-3, reinforcing the step up in competition from Texas’ non-conference slate and the Rebels’ top-10 profiles in ERA and home runs.
- Head coach Jim Schlossnagle shaved his superstition mustache after the loss as Texas also monitors Adrian Rodriguez’s sore left hand and outfielder Jonah Williams’ shoulder status.
