Longhorns Trail Texans 4-1 After Fifth Inning: Live Updates

It is a beautiful Tuesday evening and perfect weather for baseball, as the No. 2 Texas Longhorns (18-1) are set to play host to the Tarleton State Texans (12-7) in their latest midweek contest.

The Longhorns come into this one feeling confident, having just taken their opening SEC series against the Ole Miss Rebels. They responded to a heartbreaking loss in the opener on Friday in dominant fashion, outscoring Ole Miss 19-4 in the final two games of the series win.

As for their results in midweeks so far this season, those speak for themselves. Each of their first four have seen them put up big-time numbers offensively and plate at least 14 runs in each -- including a season-high 16 in their 16-3 run-rule win over the Houston Christian Huskies.

On the mound for the Longhorns will be Hudson Hamilton. It will be Hamilton's fifth appearance and first start of the season. He sports a 9.00 ERA across two innings of work, with three strikeouts, two walks and a save to his name.

Offensively, the bats have been rolling for Texas all season but especially. Seven of its last eight games have seen 10-plus runs scored, with the lone exception being the eight runs in the opener against Ole Miss.

Now, though, the attention shifts to the Texans as the Longhorns look to win their third game in a row.
