The first of three potential elimination games the No. 3 seed Texas Longhorns had a chance to face in the College Station Regional was enough to eliminate head coach David Pierce’s team on Sunday at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park in a 10-2 loss to the No. 2 seed Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns, a team the Longhorns beat 12-5 on Friday.
Behind a third straight strong starting performance by Texas, this time from left-hander Ace Whitehead, the Horns stayed in the game through seven innings, trailing 2-1 after Whitehead went 6.2 innings, working around seven hits and a walk to allow two earned runs with six strikeouts.
