Texas’ Pete Hansen helped beat Air Force, allowing three runs on eight hits with five strikeouts in 62/3 innings.AUSTIN — Air Force gave Texas some trouble when these teams met at Disch-Falk Field in mid-April.
In what might have been his final home start, Hansen limited regional No. 4 seed Air Force to three runs over 62/3 innings with 7,965 mostly-Texas fans cheering him on through the thick midday heat. And Texas’ bats had more than enough pop to turn the game into a 11-3 rout, setting up a meeting with second-seeded Louisiana Tech or third-seeded Dallas Baptist on Saturday night in the winners’ bracket.
Designated hitter Austin Todd tacked on one more first-inning run with a sacrifice fly. By the time Air Force recorded the third out, flame-throwing starter Paul Skenes had already thrown 34 pitches.“The character of the team, what they represent and how well they’ve played to be in this position…we had to go out and win the game; they weren’t going to hand it to us,” Pierce said afterwards
But Texas wasn’t about to start exchanging blows with the Falcons again, not after what happened the first time around.
