No. 4 Texas' Game Against Air Force Canceled Due to Weather: Live Updates

Another Tuesday means yet another thrilling midweek contest for the No. 4 Texas Longhorns (30-8). This time, they are set to play host to a familiar foe -- the Air Force Falcons (18-20), looking to bounce back from a loss on Sunday.

That loss came in the finale against the No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide in a game that the Longhorns struggled to find any offensive production in. It was a rough day at the plate, as they only managed to push across one run on four hits. Two of those hits and the lone run came in the ninth inning.

Despite an inconsistent showing from the lineup, with 10 of the 14 runs and 16 of the hits coming in the opener, Texas was still able to secure another SEC series win. Which was the case thanks to an absolutely dominant weekend from the pitching staff.

Starting with Dylan Volantis on Friday and his career-high 12 strikeouts, the rest of the staff did its job and racked up a whopping 49 K's across the three games. Freshman Sam Cozart was especially impressive, recording the save in both of Texas' wins.

Now, they cap off their home stand against the Falcons and look to bounce back from Sunday's showing. On the mound to start will be Michael Winter, who will be especially eager to get back on track.

He earned the start in last week's 14-7 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and struggled, failing to record a single out and giving up four runs while throwing just 20 pitches. If he can do that, then the Longhorns have a strong chance at leaving this one with a win.
