The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (17-1, 1-1) are back in action once again on Sunday afternoon, preparing to face the Ole Miss Rebels (16-4,1-1) in the finale of their three-game series to open SEC play.

It has been a wildly exciting series so far, with the two teams splitting the first two games and heading into the finale looking for series win. While Friday saw the Longhorns drop a heartbreaker for their first loss of the season, they bounced back in dominant fashion on Saturday.

In the second game, they sent veteran left-hander Luke Harrison to the mound and tasked him with shutting down a lineup that produced nine runs the game prior. And he delivered a performance that did exactly that.

After a shaky outing against Baylor the weekend prior, Harrison dealt a gem on Saturday. He recorded a career-high seven innings and allowed only two runs, both unearned, while striking out eight Ole Miss batters.

Offensively, the bats kept rolling and produced at least 10 runs for the seventh time in their last eight games. They did so without the use of the longball, playing small ball and capitalizing on mistakes while only striking out two times as a team in the 11-2 victory.

Now, they turn their attention a rubber match on Sunday afternoon. On the mound for Texas will be the phenomenal southpaw Dylan Volantis, as he'll look to pick up where Harrison left off and stifle the Ole Miss bats and secure a series win.
