The Texas Longhorns (37-18, 14-9) are back in action for one final time during the 2023 regular season, as they look to complete a sweep of the West Virginia Mountaineers (39-15, 15-8). 

A lot that needed to go right for the Longhorns this week has gone right, including their dominance in the first two games of this series. With a win and a sweep they would win a share of the regular season conference title, and head to Arlington as the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Tournament. 

It is a big day of baseball in Austin, one that this team has fought for all season long. Despite losing seven of nine starters from a historic offense, and their staff ace, the Longhorns are playing for a conference title once again. 

Stay tuned as we provide live updates one last time this regular season as the Longhorns take on the Mountaineers from Disch-Falk Field. 

Live updates will be available after first pitch.
