A difficult opening two games bled into a third straight loss for the No. 9 Texas Longhorns in the State Farm College Baseball Showdown at Globe Life Park in Arlington on Monday with an 8-1 loss to the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels.
Through the first five innings, the game was defined by strong pitching performances from Texas right-hander Kolby Kubichek and Ole Miss right-hander Derek Diamond. But in a game-changing bottom of the sixth for the Rebels, Kubichek came out after an inning-opening double and the Longhorns bullpen couldn’t hold with the game tied at 1-1.
