In the first and only non-conference road series of the season, the Texas Longhorns dropped a winnable game in the series opener, blowing a 5-1 lead and losing 6-5 to the Cal State Fullerton Titans at Goodwin Field on Friday evening.
Tied at 5-5 in the eighth inning, Texas gave up the winning run on a wild pitch. Left-hander David Shaw, who escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the sixth inning and struck out three in the seventh, allowed a leadoff double in the eighth, giving way to left-hander Chris Stuart. But Stuart hit the first batter he faced before the wild pitch provided the final margin.
