OMAHA, Nebraska – Texas Longhorns shortstop Adrian Rodriguez made College World Series history on Monday, June 15, 2026, by becoming only the third player ever to hit for the cycle in the Men’s College World Series. Rodriguez delivered the milestone performance in a 14-2 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide at Charles Schwab Field, where Texas dominated from the early innings. His achievement unfolded in unusual fashion when a ball he hit earlier in the game, originally ruled a single plus a two-base fielding error, later became the key play that secured his place in the record book. In the seventh inning, official scorers reviewed that earlier play and issued a formal scoring change, overturning the error and crediting Rodriguez with a triple instead. Because Rodriguez had already hit a home run in the sixth inning and collected the other needed hits, the retroactive ruling immediately completed his cycle. Rodriguez said he did not realize he had reached the milestone until teammate Ruger Riojas told him about the scoring change in the dugout, calling the moment surreal and noting he remembered watching Christian Moore hit for the cycle with Tennessee while he was in high school. Rodriguez now joins an exclusive group that includes Jim Kindall of Minnesota, who hit for the cycle in 1956, and Moore, who did so in 2024.
