Longhorns host Islanders on Tuesday, Travel to Texas State on Wednesday

[HornSports Staff 1,741]

After winning three of four games against BYU at Disch-Falk Field last week, the Longhorns are back on the home diamond on Tuesday, and travel to San Marcos on Wednesday for a pair of games against the Texas A&M Corpus Christi Islanders and Texas State Bobcats, respectively.

The series win against BYU improved the Texas record to 3-4 on the season after David Pierce's squad dropped their first three games of the season at the State Farm College Baseball Showdown in Houston.

The Longhorns didn't play either team last season due to COVID-19 cutting the 2020 season short.  Texas lost to both teams in the 2019 season.

Dylan Campbell gets his first knock as a Horn, RBI double into the LF corner

Horns lead 11-1 thru 8 complete

 

[joeywa 5,489]

A little edit; appears the 8th was called early.  Campbell was called out at 2B for leaving early on an F8.  After review, he was safe.  Next batter is Porter who brings Campbell home from 3B on an RBI single

 

Horns up 12-1 thru 8 complete

Great win. Bats slowly getting better after that awful opening week against 3 top 10 teams. 
 

Should get another test this weekend.
