Although bigger tests await, Texas baseball must first pass its midweek exam against UTRGV.
Texas will welcome UTRGV to UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Tuesday night for the 63rd game in a series that the Longhorns own a 55-7 lead in. Still ranked No. 3 in the D1Baseball poll, Texas is 7-0 this season. This will be UTRGV’s first game against a team that doesn’t play in the Big 12, and the 3-4 Vaqueros are coming off a series win at Houston.
