No. 1 Texas Rallies Late, Defeats Texas State in 14-11 Thriller: Live Game Log

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns (33-5) are back in action once again for another midweek contest, as they hit the road to take on the Texas State Bobcats (19-20) with a goal of splitting the season series on their mind.

This is the second contest between these two squads this season, with the other coming three weeks ago on April 1. Heading into this one, the Longhorns will undoubtedly be aiming for a different result than their first showdown.

It was not a great night offensively for Texas in the last game between these two. Kept in check throughout the night, the bats were held to a mere three runs on five hits. Despite that, though, the Longhorns held a 2-1 lead heading into the eighth inning.

That's when it all fell apart. An error by center fielder Will Gasparino led to four unearned runs coming home to score and helped the Bobcats take a 5-2 lead. Texas did get a run home in the ninth and had the bases loaded with one out, but would ultimately fall short and lose 5-3.

Now, they look to reverse their fortune.
