Texas' five-game advantage over the second-place Razorbacks has shrunk to just two with six games remaining on the conference schedule for both teams. Arkansas finalized the series sweep with a thumping 13-8 victory in which they made some of the Longhorns' best arms look pedestrian, slugging five home runs.

A bad series is going to happen at some point. That's how baseball goes, as no team can play perfect over the course of the long, grinding season. For the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (38-8,19-5) that time finally came against the No.

Texas baseball will play the second game of its three-game series against Arkansas on Friday night, with the Longhorns in search of a bounce-back victory following their worst loss of the season. The game was originally slated to begin at 7 p.
