Junior becomes first Longhorn to accomplish prestigious feat since C.J Hinojosa in 2015
AUSTIN, Texas — Aiden Robbins delivered the first Longhorn cycle in 11 years to propel No. 3 Texas to a 3-1 win over Michigan State at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Saturday afternoon.
Robbins opened his historic performance with an RBI single in the first, tripled in the third and recorded a one-out double in the sixth, before drilling a homer off the right-field foul pole in the eighth to complete the cycle.
The center fielder became the first Longhorn player to hit for the cycle since C.J Hinojosa on April 19, 2015.
Robbins tallied four of Texas' eight hits in a wind-aided pitchers' duel between the Longhorns (6-0) and Spartans (2-3).
Max Grubbs (1-0) earned his first win of the season, tossing three hitless innings out of the bullpen. The senior registered nine outs despite only facing eight batters.
Righty Thomas Burns (1) struck out the side in the ninth to clinch the series.
Meanwhile, left-handed hurler Luke Harrison set the tone early, holding the visitors to one unearned run across the first 4 1/3 innings.
Michigan State starter Carter Monke (0-1) matched the Longhorns' staff through the first six frames, but Texas pushed across tallies in both the seventh and eighth innings. Monke allowed two runs, one earned, over 6 1/3 frames.
With the victory, Jim Schlossnagle became the second-fastest Longhorn coach to win 50 collegiate games in program history. Schlossnagle's 50-14 start trails only two-time national champion Bibb Falk, who began his Texas tenure with a 50-13 mark.
The Longhorns will look secure their second straight sweep in the series finale on Sunday. First pitch is set for noon at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
