AUSTIN – An eight-run inning blew open a close game as Texas topped Abilene Christian 11-1 on Tuesday.
Â
After falling behind 2-0 in the first inning, ACU got on the board in the second with a Maddox Miesse sacrifice fly to score Garrett Williams.
Â
ACU left the bases loaded in the fourth and seventh innings. The Longhorns scored eight times in the fifth inning.
Â
The Cats had doubles by Miller Ladusau and Williams to go with singles by Zandt Payne, Gino D'Alessio, Zion Stephens, Aaron Staehely, Holden Rook and Reese Borho.
Â
"It's a good experience for our guys," said ACU Head Coach Rick McCarty. "We've put them in a tough spot in terms of challenging them on the road in the biggest venues in the state of Texas. We had some opportunities. I thought we did some good things."
Â
Rolando De La Cruz pitched three scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Blaine Palmer and Nolan Foster each pitched a scoreless inning as well with Palmer getting a pair of strikeouts.
Â
The Wildcats get back to Western Athletic Conference action this weekend at Stephen F. Austin, starting with a 6:30 p.m. contest on Friday.
