Head coach Augie Garrido knows that the Longhorns need to win their games against Big 12 opponents in mass in order to have a chance at returning to the postseason.
Junior closer Corey Knebel has been reinstated to the Longhorn roster after being suspended for Texas’ three-game weekend series against Kansas due to a violation of team policies.
After dropping its fourth conference series in as many tries this weekend in Kansas, Texas returns home Tuesday to kick off a five-game home stand against Texas-Pan American.
Another Big 12 series slipped through the Longhorns’ fingers Sunday afternoon. Texas dropped the rubber match to Kansas, 4-3, on Sunday, dropping two of three games to the Jayhawks this past weekend.
After pushing only four runs across in three games against Oklahoma last week, two of them losses, Texas had that many runs by the end of the second inning.
