The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (26-4) are back in action on Tuesday night, with the Houston Christian Huskies (20-10) for another exciting midweek contest.

Spirits are high in Austin ahead of the Longhorns' latest midweek game, as they are fresh off arguably their most important series win of the season. They hosted the then-No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs in a highly-touted, top five SEC showdown.

Taking the opener in convincing fashion, Texas cruised to a 5-1 win. After that, though, the next two games were absolute slugfests as anticipated. Having to come from behind in game two, the Longhorns erased a 4-0 deficit and would use a five-run seventh inning to secure a 7-4 victory.

With a series win already in lock, they looked for the sweep on Sunday. Rylan Galvan ensured they would achieve that feat, as his walk off home run in the 10th led to a 4-3 win. Now, they host the Huskies on Tuesday evening looking to win their fourth game in a row.
