Excellent pitching and timely hitting helped the Texas Longhorns take two of the three (W 4-3, L 0-4, W 4-3) series home games over the No. 11 Texas Tech Raiders this weekend. A 2-1 start to conference play improved the team’s record to 15-7 on the season and bolstered them to No. 4 in the newest Baseball America rankings.
The Horns will be tested again this week against Top 25 talent, as last year’s CWS runner-up and former rival, the No. 11 Arkansas Razorbacks, come to Austin for two-game weekday series. The Razorbacks have won 12 of their last 13 games after losing in extra-innings against USC back in late February.
