The No. 1 Texas Longhorns have a chance to open the 2022 season with a sweep after blowing out the Rice Owls 15-1 on Saturday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field behind four multi-run innings.
Head coach David Pierce’s team scored in just about every way imaginable — via wild pitch, via double, via single, via passed ball, via fielding fielding error, and via balk. Left fielder Eric Kennedy even scored from second on a wild pitch that bounced all the way out past first base in foul territory.
Texas had 10 hits and drew 11 walks, showing consistent patience at the plate.
