AUSTIN, Texas – On a night honoring a home run threat in senior Jordyn Whitaker, The University of Texas softball program sent three pitches out of Red & Charline McCombs Field during the Longhorns' 14-1 five-inning non-conference win over Houston Christian on Wednesday.
The offensive performance marked the fourth time in eight games this season that Texas has connected for three-or-more home runs in a single game, including seven over the last two contests to push the Longhorns' season total to 17.
It took until the bottom of the third for Texas, which was already holding onto a one-run lead following a first-inning run, to really get the offense clicking, but when the Longhorn bats got rolling, they didn't stop as the first four UT batters in the frame had already collectively hit for the cycle.
