The Texas Longhorns (9-9) dropped their fifth straight game on Wednesday afternoon, losing to the No. 5 Arkansas Razorbacks, 7-5. It’s a game script and a result that has been all too familiar for Texas when they play against ranked opponents.
Texas scored first in the game with some good ol’ fashioned Augie small ball play (get well soon, coach) and some miscues from Arkansas. Masen Hibbeler and David Hamilton led the game off with back-to-back walks. Later in the inning, after a Zach Zubia ground out scored Hibbeler and advanced Hamilton to third, a wild pitch plated Hamilton and give the Longhorns an early 2-0 lead.
