The game-ending strikeout by the freshman second baseman was the 20th of the game for Texas, the highest single-game total for head coach David Pierce’s team since a 2-1 loss to Mississippi State in the opening game of the 2021 College World Series when Will Bednar and Landon Sims combined for 21 strikeouts.
