Persistent rain in the Austin area impacted the first two games of the key weekend series against the No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders as the No. 3 Texas Longhorns fell in the first two games before salvaging the Sunday’s finale in a needed 11-3 win at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
Texas dropped to No. 6 nationally in the latest edition of the Division 1 Baseball Rankings following the series loss.
The issues started quickly on Friday as lightning in the area delayed the pushed-up afternoon start and Texas ace Ty Madden had his worst start of the season while dealing with a blister on his throwing hand.
