This past weekend was defined by streaks. The Texas Longhorns baseball team (25-8) won all three of their series games against the Kansas State Wildcats, extending their win streak to eight games. Ivan Melendez has now hit a home run in six consecutive games.
The Longhorns won in dominant fashion each of the three games, winning by seven or more runs for a total of 37 runs for the series.
Texas has been on fire since their 0-3 start to the season and has been scoring runs at will and playing great defense, which was all on display against the Wildcats as they only gave up 25 hits for nine runs during the weekend.
Texas is now 10-2 in Big 12 play on the season and currently have a three game lead atop the conference as the Longhorns hit the midway point of the season, with another 12 conference games left on the schedule.
Texas will host a two-game series against the Nevada Wolfpack on Tuesday. First, let’s recap the Kansas State series on the next page.
