Texas Baseball Falls to UTSA 7-4 in Austin Regional Final: Live Game Log

There are not many postseason formats in sports that can rival the excitement and thrills of college baseball. Already arguably the most random sport, that element is cranked up to 11 in the postseason as upsets galore happen across the Field of 64.

The Texas Longhorns (44-13) learned this lesson the hard way on Saturday evening, as they collapsed and saw a 6-1 lead over the UTSA Roadrunners (46-13) turn into an ugly, disappointing 9-7 loss that sent the Longhorns into an elimination game on Sunday afternoon.

Awaiting them in the loser's bracket was a former Big 12 foe in the Kansas State Wildcats. However, they responded in dominant fashion and jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the top of the first inning. They didn't squander this lead, as the combination of 7.1 innings from Ruger Riojas and an offensive explosion was enough to power them to a strong 15-8 win.
