Texas Longhorns reliever Cole Quintanilla was sensational through most of his 3.1 innings in relief, but a 1-2 hit by pitch, stolen base, and a single by defensive replacement Tanner Leggett allowed the Mississippi State Bulldogs to win in walk-off fashion in a 4-3 victory at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha on Saturday to end a sensational Texas season.
It was the only lead of the game for the Bulldogs and the only loss of the season for Quintanilla.
