Johnson threw 100 pitches and allowed two hits with eight strikeouts and 14 groundouts. Gage Boehm earned the save with two strikeouts in the ninth inning.
Flores' big swing came in the sixth inning and punctuated a 5-run frame that turned a 3-1 Toreros lead into a 6-3 Texas advantage. Flores pummeled a 1-2 pitch that had to cut through wins from an oncoming cold front, and it landed in the brand-new Yeti Yard seating area beyond left field, which led to various beverages being tossed in the air as a celebration.
