Texas State’s last day of the 2021 season was also its longest.
The Bobcats loaded up on the team bus at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday to ride from their hotel in Austin over to Red & Charline McCombs Field. They were scheduled to face No. 12 overall seed Texas in the second round of the Austin Regional at 1 p.m. But 10 minutes later, the maroon and gold found out the game would be pushed back by three hours to 4:05 p.m. due to inclement weather.
The momentum of defeating No. 10 Oregon the night before began to drain away. The team had only been shut out three times on the year. Yet, Texas State failed to score in either of their final two games, falling 6-0 to the Longhorns and 2-0 to the Ducks in an elimination game. The last game ended at 11:55 p.m. — a 13-hour day for the Bobcats.
