Looking for a series sweep and a five-game winning streak, the No. 16 Texas Longhorns not only accomplished those feats, but also held the Cal Poly Mustangs scoreless for the entire weekend following Sunday’s 7-0 victory at UFCU Dich-Falk Field. According to Texas play-by-play commentator Craig Way, it’s the first time the Longhorns recorded a weekend series shutout since 2002 against the UT-Pan American Broncs, now the UTRGV Vaqueros.
Third baseman Peyton Powell led the way for the Longhorns with two home runs in a 4-of-5 performance with three RBI while four pitchers combined for the shutout in the first career start for right-hander Cody Howard.
