What more could be asked from the baseball gods other than a matchup between top-15 in-state rivals coming down to the wire? That was exactly the case Friday night in No. 12 Texas’ 4-3 come-from-behind victory over No. 11 Texas Tech.
Texas swept the No. 1 team in the country. But the glory was short lived as the Longhorns are now coming off a three-game losing streak against Stanford, which included a 9-0 blowout.
Texas fell to Stanford on Saturday afternoon 4-2 due to four errors in the field. “We just can’t give games away,” head coach David Pierce. “That’s basically what happened today.”
For Texas fans who made the three-hour flight to Palo Alto to watch the four-game series against No. 6 Stanford, game two will likely not be mentioned when recapping the trip out west.
The Longhorns received some tough news Wednesday morning as senior leader DJ Petrinsky will miss the remainder of the 2019 season with a torn labrum, a University spokesperson announced
Less than one week after sweeping a three-game series with then-No. 2 LSU, the Texas Longhorns will face another top-10 matchup in Palo Alto for a meeting with No. 6 Stanford.
