Diamond Dawgs Make Early Lead Stick, Secure Series Over No. 14 Texas
March 16, 2024 | Baseball
AUSTIN, Texas โย Washington opened up with a big lead over No. 14 Texas on Saturday and held it through the final out, locking up the series over the Longhorns with a 5-3 win at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
ย
Husky starter Calvin Kirchoff got the win, matching his career-high with six strikeouts and holding the Texas offense to four hits over six. Sam Boyle earned his first save of the season, scattering three hits over three scoreless frames.
ย
Scoring the final eight runs of Friday's ballgame, the Huskies picked up right where they left off. Following a Cam Clayton leadoff walk and an Aiva Arquette double, Jeter Ybarra lifted a sacrifice fly for the game's first run.
ย
A few pitches later, AJ Guerrero tattooed an inside offering, pulling a two-run home run over the left field wall to make it 3-0 after one.
ย
The Huskies loaded the bases in the third, adding a pair of insurance runs on ground balls to go ahead 5-0.
ย
Solo home runs in the third and fourth pulled the Longhorns closer and UT added another with a two-out rally in the sixth, closing the gap to 5-3 heading down the stretch.
ย
A leadoff double in the ninth gave the Longhorns life but Boyle slammed the door shut, collecting the final three outs to secure the series for the Huskies.
ย
Washington and Texas will do battle one final time on Sunday, scheduled for an 11 a.m. PT first pitch. The game will be aired live on the Longhorn Network.
