🌟 #GoldenSpikes Semifinalist Spotlight:
Dylan Volantis has become a household name in the sport. He leads all active Division I hurlers (min. 75 inn.) in career ERA, notching a 1.94 mark. As a full-time starter in 2026, he has mounted a 9-1 record along with a 1.95 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP, which pace all SEC hurlers. He also ranks third in the league with 116 strikeouts.
Since 2021, only six of the available 40 Omaha slots have been occupied by repeat qualifiers. Three of the last five champs have missed out on a regional the next year.
Coincidence, with the portal opening on June 1? Probably not.

#Texas head coach Jim Schlossnagle was always confident in his ball club:
"There was never a time that I didn't think we were going to be competitive and have a chance to tie or win the game. I had full confidence in our team in that."
"Tinney had an awesome at bat, right, with two outs, it was all with two outs. Tinney, Pack, Becerra all got on base, and then A Rod got his hit."
Schools to make World Series in both Baseball & Softball & advance to Sweet 16 in both MBB & WBB all in same year:
2026 Texas
2023 Tennessee

That’s it.
“There’s a standard here.”
For nearly two years, Jim Schlossnagle walked past a sign listing @TexasBaseball’s 38 trips to Omaha. Now it says 39 🤘

Can I just go ahead and say I'm REALLY looking forward to @TexasBaseball vs. @BaseballUGA in Omaha next weekend?
The two teams did not play in the #SEC regular season.
