Longhorns' Bats Go Cold in 10-2 Season Ending Loss to Louisiana: Live Game Log

The Longhorns look to keep their season alive a little longer with a win over the Ragin' Cajuns.

Dustin Safranek-USA TODAY Sports

A short memory is essential after any loss, but that sentiment becomes especially true after a heartbreaker. This is exactly the situation the Texas Longhorns (36-23) find themselves in following their 4-2 loss to their rivals, the Texas A&M Aggies.

In what was an entertaining game to neutral fans, the Longhorns seemed to have the Aggies on the ropes. They held a 2-1 lead going into the eighth inning, thanks to a solo home run off the bat of Kimble Schuessler that came with two outs in the sixth inning. Unfortunately, though, it all unraveled from there.

Two errors by the usually sure-handed Jalin Flores at shortstop, the second of which came with two outs, allowed the Aggies plate the tying run. The Longhorns were unable to plate the winning run in the next two innings, and after giving up two in the top of the 11th, would fall at the hands of their rivals.

Now, they find themselves turned around on quick notice for an elimination game against the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (41-19), who they beat in their regional opener.

Follow along as we provide live updates as the Longhorns square off against the Ragin' Cajuns on Saturday afternoon from Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park to keep their season alive.
