With only a few weeks left until the postseason starts, the Big 12 features three conference series, two out-of-conference series, and a pair of teams taking the weekend off.
Texas travels north to take on Nebraska for the final time as conference opponents. The Longhorns took a pair from the Sooners last weekend, giving them an important boost in the standings, and setting up a possible winner-take-all showdown against Texas A&M to close out the regular season. Taylor Jungmann is one of the best overall players in the nation, and Cole Green has steadied after a rough start. The Longhorns are still looking for a third starter to pick up the slack. The player to watch is SS Brandon Loy. Loy has always had an excellent glove and arm, and has found his stroke this season. Read the rest of this entry »

#8 Texas 7 Dallas Baptist 2
Texas has spent the past few days in a very unfamiliar territory. After dropping their season opening series to New Mexico, the Longhorns owned a losing record for the first time since the start of the 2007 season.
Dallas Baptist kicked off the scoring when SS Travis Meiners drew a leadoff walk and came around to score on a bases loaded groundout by C Logan Moro, giving the Patriots a 1-0 lead in the second frame.
