Fresh off their first loss of the season, the top-ranked Texas Longhorns rebounded with a stressful 9-8 victory over the Texas State Bobcats on Tuesday night in San Marcos. While the win required more drama than any Longhorn loyalist would hope to see, the Longhorns proved their resiliency to be that of a national championship team.
Texas entered the Tuesday night contest anticipating a challenge from an up-and-coming Texas State program overflowing with fervor and talent. In game one of the two-game series, Texas State took their home field with a palpable swagger after securing the program’s first-ever series win over a top-25 team over the Arizona Bearcats in Tuscon last weekend.
