Things were not looking great for the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (40-9, 20-6) following their 8-2 loss to the Florida Gators (34-18, 12-14) in their series opener on Friday evening. It marked their fourth straight SEC loss and put them on the verge of watching their lead atop the standings shrink again.

However, while they did lose on Friday the LSU Tigers downed the Arkansas Razorbacks which kept their lead atop the conference at at two games. And then they were able to take care of business in game two on Saturday afternoon.

Entering the bottom of the fifth inning they found themselves trailing 2-0 and seemingly on their way to a fifth straight loss in the SEC. Then, a two-hour rain delay happened and momentum shifted.

The offense roared to life in the sixth as Rylan Galvan and Jalin Flores blasted back-to-back solo shots and Jonah Williams produced a three-run double, putting Texas ahead 5-2. From there the Longhorns would get the job done, with Dylan Volantis recording the final seven outs and securing his 11th save to even the series.
