Texas arrived in Austin with the No. 6 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, setting the stage for a first‑round clash against Holy Cross.
The Longhorns wasted no time, erupting for a 16‑0 lead by the sixth inning as the lineup turned the ballpark into a launchpad.
A Record‑Breaking Night
Anthony Pack Jr. etched his name into postseason history, becoming the first Texas player to launch three home runs in a single tournament game, a performance that rewrote the record books.
Aiden Robbins complemented the onslaught with his twentieth and twenty‑first homers of the season, pushing his total into rare territory.
The barrage of six extra‑base hits not only tied a school record but also established a new postseason benchmark, even though the tournament’s lack of a run rule kept the game alive for the full nine innings.
Victory would propel Texas into a Saturday night showdown against either UC Santa Barbara or Tarleton State, a potential rematch that promises further drama in the regional bracket.
Pack’s three‑homer outburst and Robbins’ milestone homers highlighted a night where the Longhorns’ batters turned every at‑bat into a scoring opportunity, illustrating the depth of talent on display.
