The No. 11 Texas Longhorns (15-1, 1-0) are back in action as they prepare to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs (13-5, 0-1) in the second game of their three-game series to open conference play. A win in game two would clinch Texas' first series win in SEC play.

It was a high-scoring affair in the series opener, one that the Longhorns won 8-7. They did so on the back of a five-run seventh inning. All five runs came home to score before a single out was recorded, with the big blow coming off the bat of Casey Borba in the form of a mammoth three-run blast.

From there the bullpen did its job, limiting the damage and holding off a late rally in the ninth inning to secure Texas' 15th straight win and first conference win in the SEC.
