Ranked for the first time this season in the midst of a 14-game winning streak that included a sweep of the then-No. 14 Texas Tech Red Raiders in Austin on Sunday, the No. 21 Texas Longhorns head east to College Station on Tuesday for a grudge match against the Texas A&M Aggies at Olsen Field.
But the Aggies have recently had the upper hand in the head-to-head series, winning four straight in the matchup, including a 12-9 victory in Austin last year that culminated a tough month of March for the Longhorns and, even worse, a 10-2 demolition of Texas in the College World Series that sent head coach David Pierce’s team home after only two games in Omaha.
