The Texas Longhorns (16-7, 1-0) are back in action on Saturday afternoon as they look to clinch their first series in conference play against the No. 14 Texas Tech Red Raiders (18-5, 2-2). 

Friday night saw the Longhorns take the series opener against the Red Raiders in a 6-2 thriller, however it was a low-scoring affair through five innings as the two teams headed to the sixth inning tied 1-1.

The Red Raiders briefly took the lead in the top of the sixth, though, on a Gavin Kash solo home run to make it 2-1. That lead did not last long as Porter Brown answered with a two-run, go ahead home run in the bottom half to put the Longhorns ahead 3-2.

Texas would add three more runs in the bottom of the eighth on a two-run Jack O'Dowd double and a Mitchell Daly sacrifice fly to push the lead to 6-2, which was the final score. 

Now, the Longhorns look to Saturday to clinch the series win and run their winning streak to 13 games. 

Stay tuned as we provide live updates as the Longhorns take on the Red Raiders on Saturday afternoon from Disch-Falk Field.

Live updates will be available after first pitch.
