The No. 18 Texas Longhorns bounced back from a Saturday morning defeat at the hands of the No. 18 Oklahoma State Cowboys with a 9-2 evening victory at Globe Life Field in Arlington in the Big 12 Tournament to advance to Sunday’s title game against the No. 22 Oklahoma Sooners.
Texas lost the morning game against Oklahoma, a sound 8-1 defeat by the Cowboys during which the Longhorns struggled to come through with clutch hits, stranding 10 runners. When the game was still within reach, Texas put runners on first and second with no outs and in the first and second innings, but were unable to produce any runs.
