For the Texas baseball program, the hunt for a seventh national championship begins today.
Texas will open up regional play on Friday afternoon with a game at UFCU Disch-Falk Field against Houston Christian. A 64-time qualifier for college baseball’s postseason, Texas is chasing its first national title since the 2005 season. Earlier this week, Texas was awarded the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA’s 64-team field.
