The No. 1 seed Texas Longhorns rebounded from a disappointing Wednesday loss to beat the No. 5 seed Oklahoma Sooners 4-1 on Thursday in the Big 12 Tournament at Oklahoma City’s Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
Right-hander Tristan Stevens led the way with a sparkling outing, pitching seven innings and allowing only a single run on four hits to earn his ninth win of the season. Stevens walked two batters and struck out four in throwing 102 pitches, ending his appearance with a strike ‘em out, throw ‘em out double play.

The No. 1 seed Texas Longhorns got off to a rough start in the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, falling to the No. 8 seed West Virginia Mountaineers 5-1 to set up an elimination game at 12:30 p.m. Central on ESPNU.
Texas will face the loser of No. 4 seed Oklahoma State and No. 5 seed Oklahoma.
Facing West Virginia’s No. 1 starter Jackson Wolf for the second time in less than a week, Texas only managed five hits and five walks as Wolf struck out seven and pitched the first complete game for the Mountaineers this season. AT 6’7 and with a low release point, Wolf was able to confound Texas hitters with a fastball that never reached much above 90 miles per hour.

Mike Antico transferred to test himself in big games.
In the biggest game of the season for the No. 6 Texas Longhorns, the center fielder from New Jersey came through with a huge performance, including by setting the tone on the first pitch, doubling down the line, and providing some of the most important winning plays for the Longhorns (37-11, 14-5) in a 5-4 win against the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs (33-11, 15-4) in front of a vocal crowd in Fort Worth on Friday.
Antico scored on that double thanks to a triple from first baseman Zach Zubia, then again on a two-out single from Zubia in the sixth after drawing a walk. In the bottom half the inning, Antico saved at least one run on a sinking liner in left-center field to retire the side with runners on first and second.
