The No. 12 Texas Longhorns (21-13, 4-4 Big 12), despite giving up five early runs in a rain-delayed game, scored eight unanswered runs to defeat the Baylor Bears (22-8, 6-2 Big 12) in Waco on Saturday by the score of 8-6. The win brings the Horns to a .500 record in Big 12 play as the team looks to take the rubber match tomorrow for a series victory.
After nearly a three-hour weather delay, Baylor jumped on Texas with a three-run first inning. It was another slow start from junior right-hander Blair Henley as he allowed the first four batters to reach base.
