In a classic Friday pitcher’s duel, Lebarron Johnson Jr. outgunned Jakob Wright as the No. 16 Texas Longhorns nudged past the Cal Poly Mustangs in a 2-0 win at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, the first nine-inning shutout for the Longhorns since beating the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Big 12 Tournament in 2022.
Johnson picked up his first win of the season with one of the best outings of his career — the most innings Johnson has pitched without allowing a run as the 6’4, 210-pound right-hander went eight innings, striking out eight and allowing two hits and two walks.
