For the seventh week in a row, the Texas Longhorns lost a weekend series opener. For the fifth time, head coach David Pierce’s team won the remaining two games to take the series.
In the interest of mildly changing things up, inclement weather did the work on Saturday, forcing a double header on Saturday as the Oklahoma Sooners were unable to contain the Longhorns in L. Dale Mitchell Park as Texas hit a combined eight home runs in an 8-6 victory and a seven-inning, weather-shortened 12-10 win.
Friday’s game held to the most recent form for the Longhorns with right-hander Max Grubbs starting in a fourth straight losing effort, a stretch during which he struggled in losses to BYU and Houston before suffering a hard-luck defeat against TCU in allowing two runs over 6.
