Jim Schlossnagle’s 1,000th Win: Texas Baseball Defeats Baylor 5-2

HOUSTON — The University of Texas Longhorns baseball team secured a 5-2 victory over Baylor on Saturday night, a win that marked a significant milestone for head coach Jim Schlossnagle. The victory was Schlossnagle’s 1,000^th career win as a Division I baseball coach.

A Historic Achievement

With this win, Schlossnagle joins an exclusive group, becoming the seventh active head coach to reach 1,000 Division I victories. He is the 70^th skipper in NCAA history, at any level, to achieve this feat. Over a 25-year career spanning UNLV (2002-03), TCU (2004-21), Texas A&M (2022-24) and Texas (2025-present), Schlossnagle has compiled a record of 1,000-469.

Schlossnagle attributed his success to a supportive family and the commitment to winning demonstrated by the institutions he has served. He noted that success at previous schools, like UNLV and TCU, led to increased support, and he expressed gratitude for the strong backing he receives at Texas A&M, and Texas.

Longhorns Dominate Early

The Longhorns (10-0) established a commanding 5-0 lead within the first three innings. Freshman outfielder Anthony Pack Jr. Was instrumental in this early surge, driving in three of the team’s first four runs with two run-scoring singles. Casey Borba added to the lead with a safety squeeze in the third inning.

The Texas pitching staff maintained control throughout the remainder of the game, limiting Baylor (6-4) to just two runs on four hits. Max Grubbs (2-0) was credited with the win, pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Luke Harrison. Michael Winter, Haiden Leffew, Ethan Walker, and Thomas Burns combined to pitch the final 5 2/3 frames without allowing a run.

The Longhorns remain one of only four undefeated teams nationally, alongside No. 4 Mississippi State, Fresh Mexico, and USC.

Looking Ahead

Texas will conclude its participation in the BRUCE BOLT College Classic on Sunday with a 2 p.m. Game against Ohio State. The Longhorns could continue their undefeated streak, or they may face their first loss of the season. It remains to be seen how the team will perform against their next opponent.
