Texas Longhorns reliever Cole Quintanilla was sensational through most of his 3.1 innings in relief, but a 1-2 hit by pitch, stolen base, and a single by defensive replacement Tanner Leggett allowed the Mississippi State Bulldogs to win in walk-off fashion in a 4-3 victory at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha on Saturday to end a sensational Texas season.
It was the only lead of the game for the Bulldogs and the only loss of the season for Quintanilla.
With bullpen arms like Tanner Witt and Aaron Nixon either not available or likely not available, Quintanilla had his longest outing of the season and pitched incredibly well until the hit by pitch that led to the walk-off hit.
