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.
The No. 9 Longhorns (27-4) will take on the No. 18 Baylor Lady Bears (26-5) in the first conference games of the season in a home-away series on Saturday and Sunday.
Blaire Luna, Kim Bruins and Holly Kern combine to blank the Bobcats twice as Taylor Thom stays hot and Taylor Hoagland goes yard twice in Friday's series opener. The Longhorns face arguably their best opponent yet Thursday when they take on No. 3 Arizona.
