Coming into a crucial series against the formidable Baylor Bears, the plan for the No. 12 Texas Longhorns was simple. The Longhorns needed at least a series sweep to overtake the conference-leading Bears for first place in Big 12 play.
You can scrap those plans now, as they went down in flames with the game itself. After blowing an early 4-0 lead, and then coming back to tie the game at 5-5, the Longhorns eventually fell to the Bears in Waco in walk-off fashion by a final score of 6-5. Texas, who now sports a blemished record of 3-4 in the Big 12, is already more than halfway to last season’s conference loss total in a 17-7 conference record.
