Longhorns Lead Buckeyes 7-1 After Fifth Inning: Live Updates

There are few things better than a sunny Sunday afternoon with college baseball being played. It feels especially sweet for the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (10-0), as they enter their final game in the Bruce Bolt College Classic with two impressive wins on the weekend under their belt.

After cruising past the No. 9 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers on Friday evening, they came back on Saturday and were prepared to take on the Baylor Bears. Offensively, it was another lightning-quick first start for a potent offense.

Freshman outfielder Anthony Pack Jr. got the party started in the bottom of the first, lacing a three-run single into right that gave the Longhorns the lead for good. They'd tack on two more runs in the third and eventually get the job done for a 5-2 victory.

While the offense was clicking all night, the pitching staff rode a gutsy performance from the bullpen in the win. Starter Luke Harrison couldn't find his command, giving up two runs and five walks in just 3.1 innings of work. Behind him, though, a stable of arms out of the Texas bullpen got out of multiple jams and prevented the Bears from plating another run.
