Head coach David Pierce and the No. 24 Texas Longhorns are finished with the Big 12 and finished in Arlington following an 8-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats on Wednesday at Globe Life Field, marking the second straight day the Longhorns fell to a lower-seeded team.
Catcher Rylan Galvan went 3-for-5 with a double and run scored and right fielder Max Belyeu was one of three Texas players with two hits, including a two-run home run in the fourth inning when the Horns took the lead.
The pitching didn’t hold up, however, as right-hander Charlie Hurley was unable to recreate the effectiveness of his start against Kansas last week, failing to record an out in the third inning when he allowed a single and a walk in an at bat he got ahead 0-2 before throwing four straight balls, leaving the game with the bases loaded.
