AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Baseball picked up a 7-2 win over North Dakota State, behind 5.1 scoreless innings of relief by Charlie Hurley on Tuesday night at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
The Longhorns (10-7) will square off with the Bison again on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
Hurley came into the game with two outs in the third and Texas trailing 2-1. He finished the third inning then held North Dakota State without a base runner until the seventh inning. In the eighth, he had to get out of a bases-loaded jam but did so with a strikeout and a groundout.
Heston Tole finished off the game with a scoreless ninth inning out of the bullpen.
Jayden Duplantier made his first start in left field and went 2-for-2 with two walks, two RBI and one run scored.
North Dakota State scored a run in the top of the first to grab an early 1-0 lead. The Bison added another run in the second to extend the early lead to 2-0.
Texas took advantage of several walks in the bottom of the second to get one of the runs back. Duplantier worked a full-count RBI walk to cut the Bison lead to 2-1.
Eric Kennedy gave the Longhorns a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth with a two-out two-run double to left-center field. Jared Thomas kept the inning alive with 10-pitch two-out walk before Duplantier singled to bring Kennedy to the plate.
Texas put together a three-run fifth inning on three hits to extend the lead to 6-2. Garret Guillemette walked and Porter Brown singled to put two runners on before Jack O'Dowd sacrificed the runners into scoring position. Mitchell Daly followed with an RBI single and Jared Thomas reached on an RBI fielder's choice groundout. After Thomas stole second base, Duplantier drove in the third run of the inning with an RBI single.
One more run came across in the bottom of the eighth after Peyton Powell walked and later scored on an RBI double by Brown.
