No. 22 Texas Longhorns sweep No. 2 LSU, 7-6, thanks to late comeback

The No. 2 LSU Tigers arrived in Austin undefeated on the young season, and the heavy favorites to win the three-game set.

They left Austin with three loses thanks to a late comeback by the No. 22 Texas Longhorns that featured four runs in the eight and ninth innings, capped by a walk-off single by junior center fielder Austin Todd for the 7-6 victory.

Right-handed freshman pitcher Coy Cobb toed the rubber for the Longhorns, looking to pitch Texas to their first series sweep of the year on Sunday at UCFU Disch-Falk Field.

Considering the less than ideal baseball weather, Cobb battled through the elements and kept the Longhorns in the game, even though the Tigers got on the board first in the third inning after a two-out RBI single off the bat of center fielder Zach Watson.
