No. 21 Texas extended its nation’s best winning streak to 15 games after taking down Texas A&M on the road. The Longhorns improved to 19-7 on the 2023 season with the 5-2 win.
Texas struck quickly in the first inning as Porter Brown lined a two-run double into the left centerfield gap to put the Horns up. A&M would tally one of their own in the bottom of the first before Texas pitching would settle in.
Five Longhorns pitchers would combine to hold the Aggies lineup to just two runs on six hits. Friday night starter Lucas Gordon tossed a clean inning while Zane Morehouse picked up the save.
Texas’ offense stuck with a nice approach in the batter’s box on a night where extra base hits were hard to come by. The Longhorns recorded 15 hits on the night. The top of the order did most of the damage, as Eric Kennedy, Peyton Powell and Dylan Campbell combined for nine knocks.
The Longhorns look to continue their hot streak this weekend as they travel to No. 17 Oklahoma State for a top-25 matchup.
