Longhorns Suffer Heartbreaker, Stanford Walks Off 7-6: Live Game Log
The Texas Longhorns (42-21) are back in action once again on Monday night as they take on the Stanford Cardinal (43-18) with a trip back to the College World Series at stake.
A win sends the Longhorns back to Omaha for the third straight season, the 39th appearance in program history. Meanwhile, a loss ends their season just short of competing for another championship.
Where they find themselves this weekend after tonight will greatly depend on which version of the team shows up. Game one of the Stanford Super Regional saw the Longhorns pull off a rally, scoring five runs in the ninth to pull out the 7-5 win.
Then, with a trip to Omaha in their grasp, the Longhorns got steamrolled in game two. The bats went ice cold and they couldn't solve Stanford starter Quinn Matthews, losing 8-3 to force a winner take all game three.
Stay tuned as we provide live updates as the Longhorns take on the Cardinal from Klein Field at Sunken Diamond.
Live updates will be available after first pitch.
