Longhorns Take Series Opener Over Cowboys 5-3: Live Game Log
The Texas Longhorns (19-7, 3-0) are back in action on Friday night as they hit the road for their first road conference series, a three-game weekend showdown with the Oklahoma State Cowboys (20-6, 4-2).
For Texas, the Longhorns are riding the nation's longest active winning streak after beating Texas A&M on Tuesday to run their winning streak up to 15 games. That win over the Aggies followed their most impressive series of the season so far, a three-game sweep of Texas Tech with a pair of walk off wins.
Now in the middle of a mini four-game road trip, the Longhorns can get their record away from Disch-Falk Field above .500 with a series win over the Cowboys. Doing so will be easier said than done, though, as the Cowboys boast one of the country's best offenses.
Stay tuned as we provide live updates as the Longhorns take on the Cowboys on Friday night from O'Brate Stadium.
Live updates will be available after first pitch.
