In the final frame for the Longhorns, junior Madison Carter drew a one-out walk. Felts then belted a fly ball to deep center as Texas Tech center fielder Brett Bell was unable to make the grab on the run as the ball glanced off his glove to plate Carter. It was the third time this season at UFCU Disch-Falk Field that the Longhorns have earned a walk-off victory in the ninth. Texas sophomore pitcher Dillon Peters struck out a career-high seven batters, allowing one run and five hits over 8 1/3 innings, earning a no-decision in the longest stint of his career. Texas Tech (13-8, 1-1) pitcher Trey Masek struck out six Longhorn batters and allowed six hits and one run over eight innings. Freshman Johnathon Tripp (0-1) relieved Masek and earned the loss. Junior closer Corey Knebel (2-1) earned the win after entering the game in the ninth with the bases loaded and one out and striking out Tim Proudfoot and Mason Randolph. Bryant Burleson hit a one-out double off Peters and intentionally walked Eric Gutierrez before Jarrard Poteete loaded the bases with a single. UT center fielder Weston Hall hit Masek's first pitch in the bottom of the first into left field for a single. After stealing second, he scored on Erich Weiss' single up the middle and snapped Masek's consecutive scoreless innings streak to open the 2013 campaign at 32 1/3 innings. Weiss finished with a 3-for-4 game for the Longhorns. Texas Tech catcher Mason Rudolph scored in the top of the third to tie it up 1-1. The Red Raiders had runners at first and second with no outs after Rudolph drew a leadoff walk and Jake Barrios was hit by a pitch. After a groundout by Zach Davis pushed the runners to second and third, Devon Conley grounded out to score Randolph from third. In the top of the seventh, Gutierrez reached on an infield single and stole second with two outs. Proudfoot singled to center field, but Gutierrez was thrown out at the plate on a strong relay throw by freshman shortstop C.J Hinojosa. The series concludes Sunday at 1 p.m. Notes: Texas Tech starter Trey Masek had his streak of consecutive scoreless innings to start the 2013 season halted at 32 1/3 innings...Texas is now 6-2 in one-run games this season...the Longhorns have stolen 29 bases this season while only allowing four...C.J Hinojosa had his season-high hitting streak snapped at eight games today...the Longhorns' pitching staff has a 2.13 ERA in 15 games at UFCU Disch-Falk Field while opponents have hit only .212 against them...Dillon Peters has a 1.97 ERA this season with opponents hitting .222 against him...Peters' previous best for strikeouts was six, set last season against Texas A&M. 
Against the Huskies in the nightcap, senior Blaire Luna struck out 16 in improving to 12-1 this season. Junior Taylor Thom hit a two-run home run and drove in three to pace the offense. With the win over Washington (20-7), Texas improved to 6-2 versus ranked opponents this season and 25-4 overall.

MEN'S HOOPS FALL TO K.STATE -- (AP Sports) - Rodney McGruder scored 24 points and sparked an 11-0 run in the second half, lifting No. 11 Kansas State past Texas 66-49 on Thursday night in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
Julien Lewis scored 13 points and Jonathan Holmes had 10 for Texas (16-17). The Wildcats (26-6) held a 43-36 lead midway through the second half when McGruder's one-handed floater ignited the run that put the game out of reach. Sheldon McClellan and Lewis hit back-to-back 3-pointers for Texas to cut the lead to 58-47, but that was as close as the Longhorns would get. Longhorns point guard Myck Kabongo, who scored 24 points in Kansas State's 81-69 victory at Texas, had seven assists but was 0 for 5 from the floor and scored only two points. Since returning from a 23-game NCAA suspension, the 6-1 sophomore had led the Longhorns with nearly 16 points a game. The Wildcats fell behind early but seized the lead when the Longhorns turned the ball over on three straight possessions and left Will Spradling all alone for a 3-pointer. The Wildcats closed the game on an 8-0 run, including another bucket by McGruder.
LADY HORNS EXIT BIG-12 TOURNAMENT -- (UT Sports News) - Brittany Chambers' layup with under a second to play gave Kansas State a 51-49 victory over Texas in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament Friday night.
Chambers scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the eighth-seeded Wildcats (15-16), whose reward is a quarterfinal game against No. 1 Baylor (29-1) Saturday. Three players scored all but two of Kansas State's points. Haley Texada had 19 points and Chantay Caron scored 10 for the Wildcats, with Heidi Brown's basket being the only other score. Mariah White had no points but matched Chambers with nine boards and led Kansas State with five assists, including one on the game-winning basket. Imani McGee-Stafford had 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Longhorns (12-18), the ninth seed. McGee-Stafford's basket with 30 seconds left tied it. Nneka Enemkpali scored 12 points for Texas.

The senior bumped her All-America total to 18 with the victory, giving her the third-most All-America honors in UT history.

Freshman Nick Naumann and junior Sudanwa Sitaram picked up singles wins against nationally-ranked opponents after the match had been clinched by the Cavaliers. Both Sitaram and Naumann came back from first-set losses to win in the second and third sets and put Texas on the board. Sitaram defeated No. 12 Mac Styslinger (4-6, 6-4, 6-4) in No. 4 singles for his highest-ranked win as a Longhorn and first since sweeping No. 87 Jordan Szabo (Texas A&M) in the fall.
Texas won the doubles contests at the first and third positions to claim the doubles point. At first doubles, UT's 19th-ranked duo of Breaunna Addison and Noel Scott broke OU's 14th-ranked tandem of Hermon Brhane and Whitney Ritchie at four-all for a 5-4 lead. Texas took the next three games to close out the match, 8-4. OU's Mia Lancaster and Abbi Melrose opened up a 2-1 lead at third doubles over UT's Lina Padegimaite and Juliana Gajic, but the Longhorns won each game thereafter and cruised to an 8-2 win to seal the doubles point. The Sooners won the remaining match at second doubles, 8-5. Padegimaite, the reigning Big 12 Conference Freshman of the Year, picked up where she left off last season and started league play with a 6-0, 6-1 win over OU's Whitney Wofford at fifth singles. OU sliced the Texas lead to 2-1 when UT's Gajic retired in the first set at sixth singles, but UT asserted control seized the remaining four matches. Texas' 42nd-ranked Ellis pushed the Longhorns' lead to 3-1 behind a 6-2, 6-2 win over OU's 106th-ranked Brhane at first singles. UT's Begley clinched the victory with a 6-2, 6-2 win over OU's Melrose at fourth singles. The Longhorns' Addison was victorious in her first career Big 12 match, as the Floridian posted a 6-3, 6-4 win over Oklahoma's Ritchie at second singles. Texas' Scott trailed OU's Lancaster, 5-2 in the first set at third singles before capturing the ensuing five games to take the set, 7-5. Scott topped Lancaster in the second set, 6-4 only seconds after Addison's victory to close out the 6-1 Texas win.
Texas won its first men's golf national crown since back-to-back wins in 1971-72 thanks to a comeback victory after the Longhorns went down 2-0. The win today was also the Longhorns' eighth this season. The University of Texas captures its 46th all-time NCAA Championship team title and 50th overall National Championship. It marks UT's first NCAA team title since Men's Swimming and Diving claimed its crown in March 2010. The Crimson Tide, which finished first in the 54-hole stroke play tournament to qualify as the No. 1-seed in the eight-team match play field earlier this week, trailed much of the final round, save for its final pairing. Alabama senior Hunter Hamrick quickly went out to a six-hole lead through nine holes against Texas junior Julio Vegas, but the rest of his Alabama teammates were in tight matches. That was the case for the first pairing that became official. Alabama sophomore Bobby Wyatt had just gone down by a hole after 16 to Texas sophomore Toni Hakula, but eagled 17 and then birdied 18 to give Alabama a 1-0 lead. Shortly after, Hamrick finalized his own win, closing down Vegas, 6 & 5, with a par on 13. Meanwhile, in the third pairing of Alabama junior Scott Strohmeyer and Texas junior Cody Gribble, the action ended on 17. Gribble never trailed throughout the match and his birdie on 17 gave him a 2 & 1 win and cut the Tide's lead in half. The marquee matchup of two of the best amateurs in the country in freshmen Justin Thomas of Alabama and Jordan Spieth of Texas had been one-sided much of the day and Spieth had taken a 3-hole lead on 15. Thus, all attention turned to the second pairing of Alabama sophomore Cory Whitsett and Texas' Frittelli. Whitsett birdied the par-5 17th hole to tie the match and send fans flocking to 18. By the time Whitsett and Frittelli were on the 18th green, Spieth had wrapped up his win over Thomas, 3 & 2. Back on 18, Whitsett whiffed on his chip from the fringe before sending his second attempt to within a makeable bogey distance. But Frittelli, needing only a two-put, erased any doubt by sinking his championship-clinching putt from the edge of the green.
Like Texas, Dubreuil went out with her best round of the competition at 2-under 70. She played her first eight holes at even before carding back-to-back birdies on nine and 10. As many bogeys on the next two holes pushed her scorecard back to even, but Dubreuil found two final birdie opportunities on the 14th and 15th holes and made three more pars to finish at -2. Dubreuil (81-75-81-70=307, +19) finished tied for 93rd on the individual leaderboard. Vandermade (76-72-78-71) and freshman Bertine Strauss (74-76-74-72) also carded tournament-bests Friday morning. Strauss' even-par 72 gave her a 72-hole total of 8-over 296 for a team-best tie for 33rd place. Vandermade finished one stroke back to tie for 38th place in her final collegiate event. Juniors Katelyn Sepmoree (71-76-80-76=303, +15) and Haley Stephens (76-72-83-73=304) rounded out the Texas squad in ties for 71st and 77th places, respectively. Alabama (286-285-306-294) captured the team championship at 19-over 1171, besting Southern Cal (297-288-294-293) by one stroke. The Tide clinched the title when Brooke Pancake made a five-foot putt to save par on 18. Oklahoma's Chirpat Jao-Javanil took the individual title at 6-under (69-73-70-70=282). Pancake placed second with a 2-under 286 (68-70-75-73).
