Overview
- Texas defeated UC Santa Barbara 6-4 Sunday to complete a 3-0 sweep of the Austin Regional and advance to the NCAA Super Regionals.
- Ruger Riojas settled in for a five-inning start and recorded his 300th career strikeout while Aiden Robbins hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning.
- Veteran lefty Luke Harrison entered to retire the final batter and the Longhorns finished the weekend having outscored opponents 41-7.
- Texas will host a Super Regional in Austin next weekend against the winner of the Eugene regional, which will be either Oregon or Oregon State.
- Schlossnagle argued the current double-elimination regional format forces extra, pitching-taxing games because losers must play back through the bracket and he suggested three-game series weekends would better identify the best teams.
