Sensational start from Ruger Riojas fuels 7-1 win by No. 7 Texas to sweep Missouri

A Saturday doubleheader between the No. 7 Texas Longhorns and Missouri Tigers on Saturday at Taylor Stadium in Columbia ended with a 7-1 victory and series sweep for head coach Jim Schlossnagle’s team in a workmanlike performance.

Junior right-hander Ruger Riojas continued to pitch at high level for the Longhorns, changing speeds and arm angles, including dropping down for a sidearm sweeper that replicates his high school arm slot, an emphasis in his work over the last several weeks with pitching coach Max Weiner.
