AUSTIN, Texas – Kansas State jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, as they won the series opener over No. 14 Texas Baseball, 6-4, Friday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
The Longhorns (22-14, 4-5 Big 12) allowed a pair of first-inning runs on two Kansas State doubles. Texas starting pitcher Bryce Elder was able to rebound with four-straight scoreless innings until the Wildcats hit a two-run homer in the sixth.
Texas got on the board in the third inning after Duke Ellis was hit by a pitch with two outs. Ellis stole second base and scored on an RBI single by Masen Hibbeler.
