In Texas’ first action since its loss in the College World Series to LSU back in June, the Longhorns welcomed IH-35 foe Baylor to UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Sunday afternoon for a scheduled 14-inning affair with the Bears.
Outfielder Russell Moldenhauer, a key contributor to the Longhorns’ success in Omaha, picked up right where he left off last summer, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, four runs and four RBI to help lead Texas to a 10-8 victory.
Chance Ruffin and Cole Green were among five pitchers who produced strong outings on the mound. Ruffin threw two perfect innings, striking out three of the six batters he faced. Green also pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit.
Texas welcomes Texas State to Austin next Sunday for its second and final fall exhibition contest at 12 p.m.
