Eight-run inning gives No. 4 Texas 13-6 win over Kansas State

In a pitching matchup pitting two projected first-round draft picks, Friday’s game between the No. 4 Texas Longhorns and the Kansas State Wildcats featured more scoring than expected as the Longhorns scored eight runs in the eighth inning after the bullpen blew a 5-2 lead for a 13-6 victory at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

Against Kansas State left-hander Jordan Wicks, Texas was able to score five runs in the first six innings with consistently competitive at bats.

In the first, second baseman Mitchell Daly singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch, then scored when first baseman Zach Zubia barreled up a two-strike changeup up middle.
