The No. 1 Texas Longhorns remain undefeated to start the 2022 season, sweeping the Alabama Crimson Tide with a 6-1 victory on Sunday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field behind 13 hits and six strong innings from right-hander Tanner Witt.
Designated hitter Murphy Stehly went 3-for-5 at the plate hitting in the two spot with left fielder Eric Kennedy sitting out, including a run-scoring triple in the eighth inning, and shortstop Trey Faltine had a big two-run single in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie.
A home run by Alabama in the fifth inning marked the first earned run allowed by the Texas pitching staff in 41.
