Texas State stays competitive with No. 23 Texas in 4-2 loss

Texas State took No. 23 Texas down to the wire on Wednesday.

After remaining deadlocked at 2-2 for the majority of the game, Longhorns junior designated player McKenzie Parker sent a two-RBI home run over the centerfield fence in the top of the seventh, giving Texas a 4-2 advantage. The maroon and gold couldn’t answer in the bottom of the inning, suffering a loss inside Bobcat Softball Stadium.

“I thought we competed well tonight,” head coach Ricci Woodard said in a statement. “(Texas) executed late in the game and we didn’t. We left a runner in scoring position, and we could’ve scored earlier in the game, but those are just the breaks of the game.
