GAME LOG: Longhorns Rout Red Raiders 12-1 to Avoid Series Sweep

Texas will attempt to salvage the series on Sunday afternoon.

For the second straight game the Red Raiders walked off against Texas in the bottom of the tenth inning. Aaron Nixon came in with a one run lead before allowing the tying run to score and loading the bases, which would lead to the eventual walk-off grand slam given up by Andre Duplantier II. Now, Texas looks to avoid the sweep and avoid an 0-3 start in conference play. 

Follow along below for live updates throughout the game as Texas takes on Texas Tech.
