After a huge come from behind win last night, the Longhorns just didn’t have enough juice left needed to complete another come from behind victory Saturday afternoon.
Texas starter Chase Shugart struggled in a big game today as he surrendered 11 hits, 5 earned runs, 1 walk and 6 strikeouts over the course of 6 complete innings.
The gritty Texas offense picked up their starting pitcher, allowing Shugart to do just enough to keep Texas in the game throughout his outing.
The Longhorns and Mountaineers went punch for punch for 9 innings as the two teams exchanged leads 5 times before West Virginia delivered the knockout blow in the 8th inning.
