Texas Baseball Cruises to 15-8 Victory Over Kansas State: Live Game Log

The true measure of a team comes in how they respond after being punched in the mouth. They can either roll over and accept it, or they can get up, dust themselves off and fight their way out of the corner.

For the Texas Longhorns (43-13), this is the exact situation they find themselves entering Sunday afternoon as they prepare to face off against the Kansas State Wildcats (32-25). It is a game the Longhorns can in no way attempt to breeze through or take lightly, as a loss ends their season.

Of course, they wouldn't be in this situation if they had just taken care of business on Saturday night against the UTSA Roadrunners. And at one point they appeared like they were going to quite comfortably, as they held a 6-1 lead in the middle innings. Then the collapse came.

From that point they were outscored 8-1, allowing the Roadrunners to storm back and pull out the 9-7 upset win and send Texas to the loser's bracket. Now, the Longhorns need to rattle off three wins in a row if they want to keep their season alive.

Follow along for live at-bat by at-by updates, as the Longhorns take on the Wildcats looking to stave off elimination at 2 p.m. CT from UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
