GAME LOG: Texas Suffers Ugly 8-1 Loss to Kansas State to Drop Series

Game two from Manhattan of the three game series against the Wildcats.

Connor Zimmerlee

Texas looked to be cruising to an easy conference win against Kansas State on Thursday when they went up 5-1. Then, however, the wheels fell off for the Longhorns as they would allow seven unanswered runs and ultimately drop game one of the series 8-5. Now, Texas looks to bounce back and even the series at one game each.
