Longhorns Ride Dominant Pitching to 3-1 Win Over New Orleans: Live Game Log

The Longhorns are kicking off a three-game weekend series against the Privateers on Friday.

The Texas Longhorns (11-7) are back in action on Friday night as they kick off the back half of a 14-game home stand and a three-game weekend series against the New Orleans Privateers (11-6). 

It has been a tale of two seasons for the Longhorns, as they have looked like an  entirely different team so far on the home stand. After a disappointing 4-7 start, including a dropped series to Cal State Fullerton, the Longhorns needed to right the ship in a hurry. 

Well, it is safe to say the ship has been righted - at least for now - as the Longhorns are riding a seven-game winning streak that has seen them score at least seven runs in all seven games - including sweeps of Manhattan and North Dakota State.

Now, though, the Longhorns turn their attention to a three-game weekend series against a high-powered New Orleans team and one that can put up runs in bunches. 

Stay tuned as we provide live updates as the Longhorns take on the Privateers on Friday night from Disch-Falk Field. 

Live updates will be available after first pitch.
