Longhorns Continue Scuffling, Fall to Aggies 9-2: Live Game Log

The Longhorns look to get back in the win column against the Aggies on Tuesday.

Midweek games in college baseball are known for their unpredictability. Anything is on the table, from high-scoring shootouts to massive upsets that shake up the rankings. 

Well, on Tuesday we could get a bit of both happening when the No. 24 Texas Longhorns (7-4) host the their hated in-state rivals, the No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies (11-0). These two teams enter their midweek contest on drastically different trajectories. 

The Longhorns find themselves on a three-game losing skid after a rough weekend in Houston, with each loss more heartbreaking than the one before it. On the other hand, the Aggies are riding high with a sparkling undefeated record after mowing through their schedule so far. 

While four losses in a row this early in the season, especially in non-conference play, isn't a season ender it certainly is something the Longhorns would like to avoid. Meanwhile, a win of this caliber heading into conference play could go offer a huge momentum boost.

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

Live updates will be available after first pitch.
