The No. 6 Longhorns (35-4) will welcome Iowa State (18-19) to Red and Charline McCombs field this weekend for a three-game series as the first of five straight series against Big 12 opponents to end the season.
However, it has been years since the last time Texas made an appearance at this signature event. In order to have a truly successfully season this year, the Longhorns need to make their way back to the WCWS.
For the Longhorns, scoring runs has never really been a problem, but for Texas to propel itself deep into postseason play, there’s no question on the importance of defense.
