AUSTIN, Texas – A pair of two-run margins did not go the K-State baseball team’s way in a doubleheader at No. 14 Texas on Saturday as the Wildcats lost 5-3 in game one and 3-1 in game two at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

 

The Wildcats (11-11, 0-2 Big 12) were stifled by a Texas pitching staff that allowed two earned runs in the combined 18 innings despite K-State being out-hit by the Longhorns (15-8, 4-1 Big 12) by just one hit, 15-14, over the two games.

 

“That’s one of the best pitching staffs in the nation,” said K-State head coach Brad Hill. “(Texas) also did a better job of hitting with men in scoring position than we did – that’s what it boiled down to.”
