Following a tough weekend series loss against the No. 6 ranked Stanford Cardinal, the Texas Longhorns remained No. 12 in the D1Baseball rankings and dropped seven spots to No. 18 in the Coaches Poll. After dropping three-out-of-four games in Palo Alto, Texas fell to 12-6 on the season and 4-4 away from home.
Things won’t get any easier for a depleted Longhorns team, as the No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders come to Austin this weekend to start conference play. Texas Tech’s dangerous lineup exploded for 59 runs en route to a 5-0 week against San Diego State and Wichita State this past week.
