Coming off a midweek, 13-3, seven-inning run-rule win over Houston Baptist at home Tuesday night, the Texas Longhorns (32-16, 9-9) head to Morgantown to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers (27-16, 9-6) at Monongalia County Ballpark this weekend. Texas is only 11-8 on the road, while West Virginia is 12-4 at home.
Texas is led on offense by first baseman Ivan Melendez who continues to terrorize opposing pitching. Melendez heads into the weekend with .421 batting average, ranks third in the nation with 68 RBI, and is tied for second nationally with 22 home runs.
