The No. 1 overall seed was eliminated from the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament when Vanderbilt lost in the Nashville Regional. Now, the No. 2 overall seed is out of well out of the Austin Regional.

No. 2 Texas lost 7-4 tonight to UTSA. That sends the Roadrunners into their first-ever appearance in a Super Regional while the Longhorns are now eliminated altogether.

UTSA built this surprising outcome within the first three innings this evening. They took a 7-0 lead by the end of the third inning with a two-run home run in the first followed by a walk and three runs batted in, off of a double and a single, in that third.

Texas would score the remaining runs, including three in the eighth and ninth off of a pair of their own home runs. Still, it was too little, too late as the Longhorns were eliminated by an in-state opponent on their own home field at UFCU Disch-Falk.

UTSA ended up sweeping the three games they played this weekend, being their first-ever wins in the NCAA Tournament, in the Austin Regional. They won 10-2 over Kansas State on Friday before beating Texas twice the past two days, 9-7 on Saturday and now 7-4 on Sunday. The Longhorns beat the Wildcats themselves last night to get out of the loser’s bracket but, in needing two wins over the Roadrunners tonight and then tomorrow, they got neither.

This also brings the Roadrunners to an overall record of 3-0 against the Longhorns this season. That’s after winning 8-7 in a dozen innings in a game also in Austin back in mid-March.

With that, Texas is the fifth of the hosting teams at regionals to have been eliminated to this point of the NCAA Baseball Tournament. They join No. 1 Vanderbilt and No. 7 Georgia out of the SEC as well as No. 11 Clemson and No. 12 Oregon to be out of the field in the first weekend of the event.

This is a disappointing end for Texas for their first season under Jim Schlossnagle, after winning the conference’s regular season in their debut in the SEC, with losses in the SEC Tournament and now the NCAA Tournament. UTSA, though, will continues what’s now an all-time season for them next weekend when they play in their Super Regional against one of No. 15 UCLA or UC Irvine.
