Baseball Preview v. #12 Oklahoma State

The #5 ranked Texas Longhorns will travel to Stillwater to face on #12 Oklahoma State this weekend in a key Big XII battle. Texas brings a balanced attack of solid pitching, timely hitting and good defense to face an offensively-focused Cowboys ball club. Oklahoma State ranks #1 in the Big XII in batting average, runs, hits, doubles, and home runs. Conversely, Texas ranks #1 in the Big XII in many pitching categories, including ERA and wins. A series win here would be the 12th straight for Texas and could all but seal up the Big XII regular season title. Texas leads Oklahoma State by 2.5 games entering this weekend's crucial series.
