The No. 2 Texas Longhorns face the Texas State Bobcats in a tough midweek clash.
This is not the first game between the Longhorns and Bobcats this season. Rather, it is the return trip of a home-and-home, with the the first game played back on March 10. That game was all Texas from the first inning.
Getting going early, the Longhorns jumped out to a two-run lead in the top of the first and then plated three more in the second. By the time the Bobcats finally got on the board, they held a 7-0 lead and would eventually cruise to. It was smooth sailing, as Texas plated at least three runs in three seperate in separate innings -- including seven combined in the eighth and ninth.The Texas Longhorns baseball team sings the school song prior to the series opener against the Ole Miss Rebels. | University of Texas Athletic However, the two midweek games since then have not been as good. They first suffered a loss to the Tarleton State Texans in a game that they were flat in from the jump. Then they squandered a 7-0 lead last week, ultimately losing 9-7 to the Houston Texans in ugly fashion. While they did manage to shake off that loss to Houston in the form of a sweep of the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners, another tough midweek challenge awaits. Texas State has shown in recent seasons it loves playing in Austin and will look to secure yet another upset victory against the Longhorns.Connor Zimmerlee covers Texas Baseball for Texas Longhorns On SI.
