NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) – Texas (31-8) and Vanderbilt (25-18) close their three-game Southeastern Conference series Sunday evening at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium.

The Longhorns took the series opener 11-4 on Friday. Saturday’s game was suspended scoreless in the first inning and will not be made up. First pitch Sunday is scheduled for 6 p.m. CDT under cloudy skies with temperatures near 76 degrees.

Texas left-hander Dylan Volantis is expected to start. In Friday’s win, Volantis struck out 11 over six innings, allowing one earned run on zero hits. He has won his past three starts, including a 12-strikeout performance against Alabama on April 17 and a six-strikeout, one-hit outing at South Carolina on April 4.

Vanderbilt counters with right-hander Jacob Faulkner. In Friday’s loss, Faulkner threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out two. Over his past five appearances, Faulkner has allowed four earned runs in 12 innings with nine strikeouts.

Texas took Friday’s game with a balanced attack. Center fielder Aiden Robbins went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBIs. Shortstop Adrian Rodriguez was 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs.

The Longhorns lead the SEC standings with a 31-8 overall mark. Vanderbilt, which fell to 25-18, dropped two of three to Kentucky last weekend before beating Xavier on Tuesday.

The Interstat game simulator projects an 8-7 Texas win.

After Sunday, Texas returns home to face Sam Houston on Tuesday before a three-game series against Mississippi State. Vanderbilt hosts Middle Tennessee on Tuesday before traveling to Alabama for a three-game set.
