COLLEGE ROUNDUP : Texas’ Smart Shuts Down Titans, 2-1

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team couldn’t solve Texas’ starting pitcher J.D. Smart and lost, 2-1, to the Longhorns Friday at Disch-Falk Field in Austin, Tex.

Smart (6-1), who gave up 11 runs against the Titans last weekend at Fullerton, held them hitless for five innings and finished with a complete-game, two-hitter with seven strikeouts. An RBI-ground out by Joe Fraser broke up Smart’s shutout bid in the ninth.

Jack Jones’ single in the sixth and a D.C. Olsen double in the ninth were all the Titans (15-3), ranked No. 1 in two polls, could muster against Smart.
