Longhorns Lead Bears 5-2 After Fourth Inning: Live Updates

After a convincing 8-1 victory over the No. 9 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers on Friday evening, the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (9-0) are right back in action on Saturday. It will be far from an easy matchup, too, as they are set to take on an old Big 12 rival in the Baylor Bears (6-3).

Baylor enters this one fresh off an upset win in its first game of the Bruce Bolt College Classic. Taking on the No. 25 Ole Miss Rebels, the Bears showed they're a dangerous team this season after securing a thrilling 6-5 victory in extra innings to cap off what was a back-and-forth affair.

Following that, though, the Longhorns made sure not to leave any doubts during their drubbing of the Chanticleers in Friday night's finale. They threatened in both the first two innings before breaking through in the third on Aiden Robbins' two-run blast and never looked back.

Texas aims to keep the momentum rolling against the Bears

On the mound, Ruger Riojas was his usual self and sliced through the Coastal Carolina lineup seemingly without breaking a sweat. He was nails from the first pitch and would give the Longhorns five shutout innings, securing his third win and racking up a new career-high 11 strikeouts.

The Longhorns know they can't take the Bears lightly and will look to start this one firing on all cylinders again, seeking their 10th straight win and keeping their undefeated start alive.
