Coming into this weekend there had not been a more highly anticipated series than the one between the No.1 Texas Longhorns (38-5, 18-2) and the Texas A&M Aggies (24-18, 8-12). And for very good reason.

Not only was it the renewal of a bitter rivalry on the diamond, but the first time the Aggies would be facing former coach Jim Schlossnagle since his departure to Austin following last season. Naturally the animosity was going to run high.

The question then became whether or not the Longhorns could handle the pressure of the moment. They were facing a team both scorching hot in recent conference play and one eager to send a messager to their former coach.

Well, the answer to that question has been a resounding yes through the first two games. After taking the series opener 2-1, the Longhorns handled another close contest on Saturday in the form of a 3-2 win -- securing the series win over the Aggies and their seventh conference series win of the season.
