Texas Baseball Live Score for College Baseball Regional Tournament vs Holy Cross

As the Longhorns look to make their way back to Omaha, they must first get the job done in their opener against the Holy Cross Crusaders.

Every game during the regular season has led to this point, with the Texas Longhorns (40-13) set to kick off their quest to get back to Omaha.

That journey begins at home, as they were named the No. 6 overall national seed and are thus hosting the Austin Regional. The first obstacle in their path to the College World Series is a clash with the Holy Cross Crusaders (25-28).

Getting into the winner's bracket is the goal for the Longhorns in their opener against Holy Cross. Of course, they know better than anyone that doing so does not guarantee they will advance out of the regional.

Can Texas start off strong against Holy Cross?

They learned this lesson last season, as they reached the winner's bracket game on Saturday only to eventually lose twice to UTSA and see their season come to a disappointing, early end. Avoiding that fate this go round starts with taking care of business on Friday.

These two teams enter the Austin Regional on opposite ends of the spectrum momentum wise. For the Longhorns, they went one and done in the SEC Tournament for the second straight season following a sluggish 8-1 loss to Arkansas in the quarterfinals.

In the other dugout, the Crusaders needed to win the Patriot League Tournament to secure the conference's automatic bid. Accomplishing this goal, they come into Friday's contest having won four of their last five contests.

On the mound for the Longhorns will be the veteran left-hander, Luke Harrison. Consistently one of Texas' best arms throughout the season, it will need him to deliver another solid performance in order to save the bullpen for a potential path through the winner's bracket.

Follow along as we provide live at-bat by at-bat updates, with the Longhorns looking to kick off the Austin Regional with a win against the Crusaders on Friday afternoon from UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
