AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas State softball team (19-15) was run-ruled by the No. 11 Texas Longhorns (32-8) by a final tally of 10-0 in six innings at Red & Charline McCombs on Wednesday evening.

KEY MOMENTS
- The Longhorns wasted little time finding the scoreboard. Texas junior designated player Miranda Elish hit a two-out, two-run home run to right center to break the scoring seal.
- UT sophomore catcher Mary Iakopo hit a solo home run to left center to extend the Texas lead to 3-0 after three innings.
- Junior catcher Haleigh Davis spoiled any chance at a perfect game for the Longhorns after drawing a four-pitch walk with one out in the top of the fifth inning. The next batter, sophomore infielder ArieAnn Bell, chopped a single over third base for the first hit of the game for the Bobcats.
- Texas tacked on six runs in the bottom sixth inning to run-rule the Bobcats by the final score of 10-0. The sixth inning included a pair of three-run home runs without the Bobcats recording an out.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

- Texas outhit the Bobcats by a count of 14-2. UT accumulated seven extra-base hits, including four home runs. Texas State had one extra-base hit, a double from junior outfielder Christiana McDowell.
- The Bobcats were shutout for the fifth time this season and the first time since falling 3-0 against Wichita State on March 2 in the Red and White Showcase in Houston.

- Texas improves to 23-0 when scoring the first run of the game and 31-2 in game in which the Horns tally at least two runs.
- The Bobcats fall to 14-39 in the all-time series against the Longhorns and 7-23 in games played in Austin. TXST entered the game as winners of five of the last eight contests against UT.
