On Saturday, the No. 2 Texas Longhorns needed two things to happen in order to secure a share of the Big 12 regular-season title — win the series against the West Virginia Mountaineers and get some help from the Kansas State Wildcats.
At UFCU Disch-Falk Field, control issues by a thin Mountaineers pitching staff allowed the Longhorns to threaten early and quickly take a decisive lead.
The West Virginia starter left the game without recording an out in the second inning after allowing three walks and a single while throwing a wild pitch that tied the game at 1-1.
