The No. 1 Texas Longhorns (32-5, 15-2) return to action on Saturday afternoon, as they prepare for their series finale against the No. 8 Auburn Tigers (27-12, 9-8). They do so with another series sweep on their mind.

After a hard-fought, come from behind 3-2 win in the series opener, the Longhorns came back in game two and took control early. They took an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning on a Jayden Duplantier double and Jalin Flores single. From there it was all Texas.

Two more runs came across to score in the fourth on a Tommy Farmer RBI double and Jonah Williams RBI single. Williams, who earned his first career start, would add another two-run single to his ledger in the sixth inning -- helping the Longhorns secure their eventual 8-3 win and series victory.

Now, they turn their attention to Saturday afternoon's contest with a chance to sweep another top 10 team.
