Texas defeats USF, 4-3, on walk-off hit by Eric Kennedy
Texas baseballA pitch away from taking the first game in the Austin Super Regional from the South Florida Bulls, Texas Longhorns reliever Tanner Witt gave up a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth inning when Drew Brutcher hit a hanging curveball out over the right-field fence at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
With the game tied at 3-3, the opening game of the super regional looked like it was headed into extra innings when Texas catcher Silas Ardoin rolled over on an outside 1-2 pitch to the South Florida shortstop. But Nick Gonzalez misplayed the ball and couldn’t handle the glove transfer, allowing Ardoin to reach base on the error.
