A disappointing start for the Texas baseball program and head coach David Pierce saw this team fall short by a margin of just one run in their opening game of the College World Series on June 20. No. 2 ranked Texas lost to the No. 7 ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs and starting pitcher Will Bednar by the final score of 2-1 to round out the weekend.
Following a tough outing where the Longhorns were not able to capitalize on a solid pitching performance from redshirt sophomore right-hander Ty Madden in the loss to Mississippi State, there is no room for error.
