The Longhorns mounted four tallies in the fourth, before putting up a season-best nine-spot in the sixth and adding an insurance run in the seventh.
In the decisive sixth, Texas sent 13 batters to the plate and totaled seven hits.
Freshman designated hitter Adrian Rodriguez delivered a game-tying RBI ground out to level the score, 6-6.
