HUNTSVILLE, Texas—A two-run blast from Michael Cantu, a three-run homer from Travis Jones and five shutout innings from Nolan Kingham propelled the Longhorns a 7-2 win over Sam Houston State in front of a record crowd on Wednesday night at Don Sanders Stadium in Huntsville.
The matchup served as the Longhorns first-ever road game in Huntsville and Texas head coach David Pierce's first game back at Don Sanders Stadium since he was head coach of the Bearkats from 2012-14.
What looked early as though it'd be a pitching duel was eventually decided by the long ball.
