A Record‑Setting Night in Omaha
Adrian Rodriguez of Texas completed a cycle against Alabama, delivering a home run, a double, a triple and five hits in a single game.
The Longhorns exploded for 14 runs, a 14‑2 victory that kept them alive in the double‑elimination tournament and set up a rematch with Georgia.
Starter Ruger Riojas limited Alabama to two runs and six hits over six innings, while Alabama’s Zane Adams was pulled after five outs, having surrendered seven hits and seven earned runs.
Coach Jim Schlossnagle lauded Rodriguez as a great player and a potential first‑round draft prospect, noting his .328 season average and five home runs.
The offensive outburst marked the most runs Texas has scored in Omaha since 1992, and the team’s bullpen will be rested for upcoming matchups.
