Texas Baseball Handles Business, Defeats Houston Christian 7-1: Live Game Log

The Texas Longhorns (42-12) are officially back in action for the first time since losing to the Tennessee Volunteers in the SEC Tournament, as they open the Austin Regional. Waiting for them on the diamond is a matchup against the Houston Christian Huskies (32-23).

This is the second time this season the two teams will square off. First facing each other in a midweek game back in April, the Longhorns cruised to a 12-2 run-rule win over the Huskies in seven innings. They will look to find similar success in their NCAA Tournament opener.

However, the Longhorns are not entering the postseason on the best foot. They lost their SEC Tournament debut to the Tennessee Volunteers after ending the regular season 3-6 in their last nine conference games.

In the other dugout, the Huskies are red-hot coming into this one. Winners of their last six games, they claimed the Southland Conference Tournament title and look to keep up their stretch of success with an upset win over the Longhorns.
