Longhorns Bust It Open, Lead Huskies 12-1 After Fifth Inning: Live Updates

In the grand scheme of a college baseball season, one midweek game in the beginning of March is not a make or break scenario. However, that does not mean the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (11-0) are going to treat their showdown with the Houston Christian Huskies (6-6) any differently.

Both teams come into this one with momentum behind them, albeit at different levels. The Longhorns are fresh off a sweep of the weekend in Houston at the Bruce Bolt College Classic with wins over the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, Baylor Bears and Ohio State Buckeyes.

It was an offensive surge in all three victories, as the bats were firing on all cylinders and wasted no time jumping all over any mistakes they saw. Most notable among them was third baseman Temo Becerra. Leading the charge, he blasted three home runs in Daikin Park, including his first career multi-homer game in the rout of the Chanticleers.

Houston Christian will look to pull off a massive early season upset

As for the Huskies, they enter having been through a roller coaster of a season in their first 12 games. Starting out on the wrong foot, Houston Christian stumbled to start the campaign and found itself with an uninspiring 0-5 record. Recovering quickly, though, what came next was a four-game winning streak.

One loss and two wins later, the game against the Longhorns represents a chance to start a new streak with a possible third win in a row on the line. They've shown they can hit the ball with the best of them but will face a tall task in slowing down a Texas lineup that is starting to really get into a groove.

Follow along as we provide live at-bat by at-bat updates, with the Longhorrns kicking off a brief four-game home stand against the Huskies on Tuesday evening.
