AUSTIN, Texas — No. 16 Texas jumped out to an early lead and sophomore right-handed pitcher Thomas Burns recorded the final five outs to seal the series opener over Dartmouth, 4-3, on Friday afternoon at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
With the Longhorns (3-1) holding onto a one-run lead over the Big Green (0-1) in the eighth, Burns entered with the bases loaded.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound hurler recorded a strikeout and an induced a flyout to eliminate the threat before tossing a scoreless ninth to lock up Texas' home opener.
The five-out save marked the first of Burns' career after he made six starts as a freshman at Arizona State in 2024.
