Taylor Hoagland gets ready for the pitch. She holds several records at UT. |
Last weekend, although the Longhorns had already lost the series to the University of Oklahoma Sooners, they were determined to win the third game. They were behind 5-4 when junior Taylor Hoagland stepped up to the plate. Her home run gave the Longhorns a lead which they kept for the rest of the game, eventually winning 12-5.
What makes this game special, though, is that it brought the total number of runs for the team this season to 329, 6 runs more than the previous record, and Hoagland broke the school record for most home runs in a single game at 16, breaking the school's previous record of 15, her own from last year.
Hoagland has also been named Co-Big 12 Player of the Week this week.
The women's team has one more game this season on Sunday, so we'll see if they break any more records before summer.
