The Texas Longhorns will not be denied. As the Texas baseball and softball teams roll through their first season in the SEC, the Longhorns' winning ways have not been slowed.
Most recently, the baseball team hosted the Auburn Tigers as the softball team hosted the LSU Tigers right across the street. After the weekend came to a close, both Horns programs walked away victorious.

After a slow start in the first game, the Horns rallied to earn a 3-2 victory over the Tigers in the at-home matchup.
The most notable moment from the game was when senior pitcher Jared Spencer left the game after just 2.2 innings. Head coach Jim Schlossnagle provided a promising update on Spencer following the game, calming the fears of Longhorn Nation.
Over the next two games, Texas outscored Auburn 22-5 as the Horns secured the series sweep over their conference opponent, improving their overall record to a resounding 33-5.
