AUSTIN - The roof hasn't exactly caved in on the Texas baseball team, but that ain't exactly celebratory confetti falling on the Longhorns these days. Red-hot Florida struck for six runs in its first at-bat and cruised to a 8-2 pounding of top-ranked Texas to continue the home team's recent tailspin.

Texas and Florida are set to continue their SEC series at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Saturday afternoon. Florida (34-17, 12-13) opened the series with Friday's 8-2 victory. Friday's loss was UT's fourth straight in SEC play. Texas was a member of the Big 12 during the 2019 season when it last lost five consecutive conference games.
