Longhorns lose 3-2 to Missouri to open Big 12 tournament. Give up RBI single in the bottom of the 10th.
After sweeping away the Aggies to end the Big 12 regular season, the Texas baseball team is finally rolling at just the right time. After winning 10 of their last 12 the team went from possibly out of the postseason to being in the running to host a regional.
This week the team is the 5th seed in the Big 12 Baseball Championship in Oklahoma City. If the team can win a few games in a tough pool they can sew up a #2. A regional at Disch-Falk makes it a lot more likely the Horns can advance in the CWS.

Fabulous finish brightens Texas’ postseason hope. Sweep of ranked Aggies bolsters Big 12, NCAA forecast.
The Texas baseball team is going for an important sweep of the Aggies right now (1pm on Sunday) live on Fox Sports Southwest. Last regular season game that could impact Big 12 tourney seeding as well as regional pairings.
Baseball beats #9 Texas A&M 5-2 to open series. Good game by Jordan Danks and good outing by pitcher Chance Ruffin.
Now that’s what I call Texas baseball. Team is playing much more fundamental baseball and could be back on track.
Wednesday’s storms hit UT athletic facilities. The softball field, Disch-Falk, and Moncrief-Neuhaus sustained minor damages.
Breaking News: ESPN is Not Biased Against Your Favorite Team. Of course that doesn’t mean they don’t suck.
Kenn Kasparek named national pitcher of the week. Throwing a no hitter doesn’t hurt.
Big Texas right hander [tag]Kenn Kasparek[/tag] tossed nine hitless innings today against the [tag]Texas State[/tag]. Kasparek struck out nine as the Longhorns beat the Bobcats 11 – 0.
Kasparek’s no-no is the 20th is Texas history, the last one was throw by Adrian Alaniz over the Oklahoma Sooners in April 2005. I saw Beau Hale’s no hitter over Sam Houston State in person on February 11, 2000. It was a special experience being there in person, so hopefully there was a full house at Disch-Falk Field to see Kasparek’s performance today.
