Even with storm damage to UFCU Disch-Falk Field, the NCAA Baseball Tournament gets underway Friday afternoon in Austin.
The Texas Longhorns (42-12) were on an extended rest after being bounced in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, a 7-5 12-inning loss to Tennessee. The defeat in the tournament continued a wild month of May for the Longhorns, who were swept by Arkansas, lost two of three to Florida and squeezed out a series win against Oklahoma.
Now, as the No. 2 seed in the tournament, Texas is playing in its 62nd regional appearance. If it survives the weekend, it will play either No. 15 UCLA, UC Irvine, Arizona State or Fresno State in the Austin Super Regional. The last time the Longhorns made it to the College World Series was 2022.
Texas opens the regional against a familiar foe, Houston Christian. These two teams met April 2 for a 12-2 Longhorn victory in seven innings.
Here is the schedule of games for the Austin Regional:
