The Longhorns are aiming for a 6-0 start to the 2026 season and a series win over the Spartans today at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

It’s a 2 p.m. start on SEC Network Plus.

Play ball! 🤘🏻

My daughter is having her 8th birthday party today, so I won’t be on my usual play-by-play and analysis duties for the game.

Here’s to a series win and a chance to sweep on Sunday!

I’m an old sportswriter and happy to post some updates. It’s 73 degrees but very windy. Wind blowing left to right at the moment. Have a great party! 🤘🏻

Man he’s flashed some leather since the season started 

Harrison not missing many bats or barrels. Good swings against him, comfortable at bats. Let's hope he dials in the command or eventually they'll break through. 

😂 Oklahoma softball lost to Long Beach State. Told y'all if they're not knocking it out the park they can't score. There's no speed or base running on that team. 

Borba strikes out swinging. Larson grounds out to second. Two down in B2.

Temo two-out single up the middle.

Bacerra's Burnt Orange 1s 🔥 

Pack strikes out looking, dropping his season batting average to .500. Horns lead 1-0 after two complete.
