The Longhorns finished their regular season in spectacular fashion, routing Missouri 12‑7 to complete a three‑game sweep and lock in a 40‑win season that extends a historic back‑to‑back 40‑win run not seen since the 2010‑11 campaign.
Ranked sixth nationally, Texas rode a potent offense that exploded for six runs in the fourth inning and added a four‑run burst in the eighth, answering Missouri’s five‑run top of the eighth with four of its own to maintain control.
Key Performances
Carson Tinney and Anthony Pack Jr. paced the hitting attack, combining for six hits and five RBI. Tinney finished the series with a .538 average, three homers, 10 RBI and a 1.933 OPS, underscoring his impact on the lineup.
Reliever Cal Higgins earned his first victory of the season, tossing two scoreless innings and striking out three batters to seal the win out of the bullpen.
The game also featured a special Senior Day ceremony, where Texas honored its graduating players with a tribute that highlighted their contributions over the past four years.
With the sweep secured, the Longhorns earned the No. 2 seed in the 2026 SEC Baseball Tournament and will open postseason play against the winner of a matchup between Arkansas, Tennessee or South Carolina at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
The victory not only cemented Texas’s place among the nation’s elite but also set the tone for a deep run in the conference tournament, as the team looks to translate its regular‑season momentum into championship success.
