Even with storm damage to UFCU Disch-Falk Field, the NCAA Baseball Tournament began Friday afternoon in Austin.
After a strong start for the Texas Longhorns (43-13) to the home-based regional, the wheels fell off late Saturday. Texas held a 6-1 lead against UTSA, but collapsed in an 9-7 loss to push the second-seeded Longhorns to the brink of elimination.

Texas will play Kansas State on Saturday and needs to win three games in two days to advances past the 62nd regional in program history.
You may remember that the Horns were on an extended rest after being bounced in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, a 7-5 12-inning loss to Tennessee. The defeat in the tournament continued a wild month of May for the Longhorns, who were swept by Arkansas, lost two of three to Florida and squeezed out a series win against Oklahoma.
The Longhorns beat Houston Christian to open play and now faces old Big 12 rival, Kansas State. The elimination game will be broadcast on ESPN.
