Texas baseball is officially back to midweek action.

The Longhorns are coming off a series victory in Nashville after taking the Friday and Sunday games against Vanderbilt. 

Texas opened the weekend with an 11-4 win behind a strong outing from Dylan Volantis, dropped Game 2 in a 6-0 shutout loss Saturday, then survived a 4-3, 10-inning thriller Sunday to secure the series. It marked the Longhorns’ sixth SEC series win of the season.

After last week’s Tuesday matchup against Air Force was canceled because of inclement weather, the Longhorns now turn their attention to earning a third straight midweek win when Sam Houston visits UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

Here’s how to watch the Longhorns take on the Bearkats.

Sam Houston enters Tuesday’s matchup playing some of its best baseball of the season.

After enduring an 11-game losing streak earlier this month, the Bearkats have emphatically flipped the script, winning six of their last seven games, including back-to-back Conference USA series wins over New Mexico State and Middle Tennessee, plus a midweek upset over Baylor in Huntsville.

The Bearkats are hitting just .252 as a team on the season, but the power surge has been noticeable lately. They have homered in 11 of their last 12 games with 17 total home runs during that stretch after hitting just 16 in their first 32 games of the year. Jeric Curtis leads the lineup with a .322 batting average and .853 OPS, while Cade Corcoran has been a steady run producer with five home runs and 24 RBIs.

On the mound, consistency has been more of an issue. Sam Houston carries a 5.90 team ERA and has been outscored 279-238 this season, but Tuesday starter Jonathan Anders has been a bright spot. The left-hander enters with a 1.93 ERA across 28 innings and will likely be tasked with slowing down a Texas offense that has been hot and cold as of late.
