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.
In a game of records for No. 8 Texas, starting off the season 3-0 wasn’t one of them. The squad has opened with a trio of victories for four straight seasons now — but only tonight’s featured a program-high nine stolen bases.
The No. 8 Longhorns (29-4, 2-0) are coming off a two-game sweep of No. 18 Baylor in their first two conference games, while Kansas has yet to play a game in conference.
Though unable to score in the first four innings of either weekend match this weekend, No. 9 Texas (29-4, 2-0) trumped No. 18 Baylor (26-7, 0-2) in both contests to start off conference play.
