GAME LOG: Longhorns Rout Citadel 18-4, Break Three Game Losing Streak

Tuesday was another rough outing for the Longhorns, as Texas lost their third straight game in an 8-4 defeat at the hands of College of Charleston. Duplantier allowed five early runs which proved impossible to overcome for Texas, as the offense left the bases loaded multiple times in the losing effort.

Now, Texas turns their attention to the Citadel Bulldogs, a team that has won two in a row and boasts a powerful offense. The Longhorns will turn to Joshua Stewart on the mound, hoping he can solve their recent pitching woes and maintain the Bulldog offense.

Follow along below for live updates throughout the game as Texas takes on the Citadel.
