Because of the threat of inclement weather, Texas softball will only play one game Saturday at the Bevo Classic.
The No. 2 Longhorns (7-1) are now scheduled to face Ohio State at 5 p.m. at McCombs Field, officials announced on the Texas social media platforms. The teams had been scheduled to play Ohio State at 2:30 p.m. and Syracuse at 7:30 p.m.
Texas beat Ohio State Friday 14-6 behind two home runs from record-setting catcher Reese Atwood, who became the Longhorns’ all-time leader in home runs in a 11-0 win Thursday over Abilene Christian. The team followed that victory against the Buckeyes with a 14-0 rout over Syracuse in the second game of Friday’s double-header.
The Longhorns, who have won four consecutive games by the eight-run, five-inning mercy rule, will complete the Bevo Classic at noon Sunday against Northern Illinois.
