In a dramatic series of events, the Texas Longhorns baseball team split their recent games against Baylor. In the first game, despite a late rally, the Longhorns fell short, losing 4-3 in an 11-inning battle. Baylor managed to take the lead in the 7th inning and secured a run in the top of the 11th, which Texas couldn't overcome. The following game saw a complete turnaround for Texas, with a dominating performance that led to a 10-2 victory. Ace Whitehead was the star of the show, pitching a complete game in his first start of the season, allowing only 6 hits, 2 runs, and 1 walk while striking out five over 119 pitches. The Longhorns' offense was on fire, hitting four home runs, including two from Jared Thomas, to secure the win and even up the series.
Complete-game win for Ace Whitehead. Fearless. Attacks hitters. Lets his defense play behind him. Exactly the kind of pitching Texas has needed.
