Unlike in basketball this year (cries in Bevo), the No. 12 Texas Longhorns were able to rally from behind and hold off the No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders in a thrilling 4-3 victory Friday night at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The Longhorns rode a three-run sixth inning and four dominant innings of relief to earn their first conference victory of the season.
The game started at a pace slower than a Texas Tech reading program, with the first score of the game coming in the third inning. After getting two outs, Texas starting pitcher Bryce Elder walked three straight batters to load the bases.
