Texas defeats Alabama 14-2 to eliminate the Crimson Tide from the College World Series, with Adrian Rodriguez becoming only the third player in CWS history to hit for the cycle. Multiple reports say Rodriguez also produces seven runs batted in during the win. Ruger Riojas pitches six innings for Texas, contributing to a decisive early lead that Texas maintains throughout the game. Texas finishes the matchup with a record of 46-14 heading into the next round. Alabama, now 42-21, is eliminated after going two-and-out in its first College World Series appearance since 1999.
Following the elimination, Texas prepares for another CWS elimination game on Tuesday. The Longhorns will play against the loser of Monday night’s Oklahoma–Georgia game, with the winner advancing further in the tournament.
