Overview
- Texas was knocked out of the College World Series in a 2-0 loss to Georgia on Tuesday, ending the Longhorns’ season at 46-15 and their first Omaha trip since 2022.
- Strong pitching carried Texas as Luke Harrison struck out double digits in his final start and freshman Sam Cozart worked 3⅓ scoreless innings, but the offense produced only two hits across the two losses to Georgia.
- Two plays decided the game when Tre Phelps’ fifth-inning double brought in the first run and a seventh-inning misplayed catch by Dariyan Pendergrass resulted in Georgia’s second run.
- Coach Jim Schlossnagle said the staff will immediately focus on the transfer portal after the exit and has already lost top portal targets to rivals while securing a commit from transfer infielder Linkin Garcia.
- Texas faces near-term roster uncertainty with seniors and draft-eligible players potentially leaving and the 20-round MLB Draft on July 11-12 expected to shape how the staff fills holes for 2027.
