TV, Streaming Information for No. 2 Texas Baseball vs Incarnate Word

Texas Baseball is still firmly among college baseball's elite.

Still sitting at No. 2 in D1 College Baseball's top 25, the Longhorns are coming off a series win over the South Carolina Gamecocks.

It was definitely not flawless. Texas dropped the opener in a lopsided 9-1 result, but, per usual, it responded with back-to-back wins to secure the series.

Now, the Longhorns turn their attention back to midweek play, where things have been far less consistent, with a matchup against Incarnate Word.

Here’s how to watch the Longhorns take on the Cardinals.

Incarnate Word already looks much improved under new head coach Zaleski, surpassing last season’s conference win total with seven victories (the Cardinals had just three last season).

A part of that jump is mostly due to a much more productive offense. IWU currently leads the Southland conference in batting average, home runs and runs, and has six hitters batting above .300. Outfielder Preston Newberry, currently paces the team in average, hits and runs scored.

IWU enters Tuesday’s matchup with Texas having split a conference doubleheader against Southeastern, demonstrating offensive firepower in both games. The Cardinals plated 13 runs in a seven-inning run-rule win in the opener, highlighted by Cole Tabor’s 10th home run of the season and a three-hit, three-RBI performance from Newberry.

Tabor added his 11th home run in the nightcap, a back-and-forth contest the Cardinals ultimately dropped despite a five-run surge in the eighth inning that briefly gave them the lead.
