No. 12 Longhorns Defeat Santa Clara 6-1 for Series Sweep: Live Game Log

The No. 12 Texas Longhorns (12-1) kept their winning ways rolling on Saturday, as they defeated the Santa Clara Broncos (7-6) to both clinch their second series win of the season and their 12th straight victory in the process.

It was a game that was all Longhorns from the start, as they came out and put pressure on the Broncos early. They plated a run in each of the first four innings, including two in the first and three in the fourth, to jump out to a 7-1 lead.

After that it was smooth sailing as Ruger Riojas provided 4.2 innings of two-run baseball, leading the way in the 8-3 victory. Now, they look to pick up their second series sweep of the campaign and push the winning streak to 13 games.
