AUSTIN, Texas—Down by one in the eighth inning, Texas Baseball (10-6) used a two-out rally to defeat UCLA (6-6) by a 5-4 final on Friday night at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
Much of the ballgame was a pitcher's duel as UCLA starter Griffin Canning and Texas right-hander Nolan Kingham battled. The Bruins struck first with a second-inning solo homer, but Patrick Mathis responded with a solo shot of his own in the bottom of the third to make it 1-1.
In the sixth, the Longhorns went ahead 2-1 thanks to Kacy Clemens' team-leading fourth blast of the season, but the lead was short-lived.
