Longhorns Struggle in 9-3 Texas State Loss, Split Midweek Series: Live Game Log /

The Texas Longhorns (24-10, 6-3) are back in action on Tuesday night as they return home for the second game of a midweek series against the Texas State Bobcats (20-13). 

Texas is looking to sweep the two-game home and home midweek set after heading to San Marcos on Monday night and taking game one in what was a pitching masterclass from the Longhorns.

Kobe Minchey set the tone in his first career start for the Longhorns, tossing three innings of shutout baseball with four strikeouts. From there the Longhorns bullpen only gave up two runs in the final six innings.

As for the offense, they put together a perfect display of clutch hitting as all five of the Longhorns runs in the 5-2 victory came with two outs, perhaps none bigger than Jalin Flores' pinch hit, two out two-run double to put Texas ahead 5-0 in the eighth.

Now, the Longhorns look to complete the midweek sweep of the Bobcats and continue their strong showing in midweek games. 

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

Live updates will be available after first pitch.
