The remarkable postseason run by the Texas Longhorns ended on Tuesday in Omaha as the Horns were no match for Florida Gators pitcher Jackson Kowar, who set a career high by striking out 13 hitters en route to a 6-1 Gators win at TD Ameritrade Park.
With a fastball that remained in the mid 90s late in the game and a devastating changeup, Kowar allowed a handful of base runners, but was always able to make the necessary pitches to keep Texas off the board. Seven at bats against Kowar with runners in scoring position represented the best chances the Longhorns had and Kowar rose to the occasion each time.
