Texas baseball crushed UTRGV 14-0 behind Aiden Robbins’ three-hit night and Sam Cozart’s eight strikeouts, extending a 22.1-inning scoreless streak.
Texas baseball is 8-0, and the Longhorns are starting to look like a problem for the rest of the country. No. 3 Texas dismantled UTRGV 14-0 in seven innings Tuesday night at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, marking the team’s third run-rule win in its first eight games.
The Longhorns overwhelmed. They plated runs in five of six innings and did most of their damage when it mattered most, going 7-for-13 with two outs.
That’s how you bury a team early. Aiden Robbins led the charge with a three-hit, three-RBI performance that set the tone from the first inning.
He launched a solo home run to open the scoring, then added clutch RBI singles in the fourth and sixth. When Texas needed momentum, Robbins delivered.
Carson Tinney's 445-foot two-run blast cleared the 32-foot center-field wall.
Casey Borba, Temo Becerra and Andrew Ermis each chipped in multi-hit performances as 10 different Longhorns recorded at least one hit. Texas sent 10 batters to the plate in the sixth, scoring six runs to trigger the run-rule and end it early.
On the mound, freshman right-hander Sam Cozart was electric in his first career start. Cozart (2-0) struck out eight across four innings, allowing just one hit. He attacked hitters, missing barrels and flashing swing-and-miss stuff that suggests Texas may have found another weapon.
The bullpen kept the clamps on. Cal Higgins, Hudson Hamilton, Jason Flores and Ethan Walker combined to limit UTRGV to just three total hits. The result was Texas extending its scoreless streak to 22.1 innings.
Now the Longhorns leave Austin for the 2026 BRUCE BOLT College Classic in Houston, where the competition level rises dramatically.
Friday night brings No. 9 Coastal Carolina and a chance for Texas baseball to prove this unbeaten start isn’t just early-season noise.
Eight games in, the bats are hot, the arms are sharp, and the message is clear ... Texas isn’t easing into 2026, it’s attacking it.
