No. 1 Texas Drops Finale 13-8, Suffer Sweep vs. No. 11 Arkansas: Live Game Log

For the first time in a series this season the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (38-7, 19-4) have looked, well, human. They entered their three-game set against the No. 11 Arkansas Razorbacks (39-9, 16-7) having not lost a series yet, which included their first seven conference series.

However, that streak came to a screeching halt. In the opener they were dominated in every facet of the game from the first pitch to the final out, as the Razorbacks cruised to a 9-0 victory and Texas' first shutout loss of the season.

Then in game two it was more of the same, as the Longhorns pitching staff fell apart in a big way. They held Arkansas to only six hits but gave up a combined 14 free passes. Nine of them via a walk with the other five coming from hit batters.

Those struggles, plus the offense managing only one run on six hits with a combined 15 strikeouts, led to the Razorbacks taking game two, and the series, 6-1.

Now, the Longhorns look to bounce back and salvage the series to avoid their sweep and keep their lead atop the SEC standings from shrinking even more than it already has.

Follow along as we provide live at-bat by at-bat updates, as the Longhorns close out their series against the Razorbacks from Baum-Walker Stadium at 2 p.m. CT and aim to avoid a sweep.
