Texas' Rally Comes Up Short in 3-2 Arkansas Loss: Live Game Log

Texas kicks off its journey to Omaha with a highly anticipated showdown against Arkansas.

The college baseball season is finally here, and the Texas Longhorns are kicking their season off in Arlington against the No. 8 Arkansas Razorbacks in the College Baseball Showdown. 

It will be a new look Texas team, though, as the Longhorns are replacing a large amount of offensive production from a historic season last year. Of course, it is Texas and the talent is still there. 

Opening the season against a Top 10 SEC opponent is a tough task for anyone in the nation, and could offer a glimpse into what to expect of the Longhorns the season. 

As for the Razorbacks, they enter the season looking to once again find their way to Omaha and the College World Series. They return plenty of talent, though, and are poised to make another run.

Stay tuned as we provide live updates as the Longhorns take on the Razorbacks on Friday night from Globe Life Field. 

Live updates will be available after first pitch.
