The fourth-ranked Texas Longhorns kick off a five-game homestand Tuesday evening when the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders come to Austin for a midweek clash at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

Texas enters as heavy favorites, and history backs that up emphatically. The Longhorns own a commanding 26-6 advantage in the all-time series and have dominated the last six matchups without a single loss, outscoring Corpus Christi 71-20 in the process.

A Season Built for the Record Books​

This year's Longhorn squad is playing at a historically elite level. At 27-7 through the early part of April, Texas joins an exclusive club — only three other Longhorn teams in the past two decades reached that mark this early, including last year's squad that finished 44-14 and earned the No. 2 national seed, and the 2005 national championship team that went 56-16.

The numbers back up the buzz. Texas ranks fifth nationally in WHIP (1.16) and sixth in ERA (3.46), while averaging a robust 8.3 runs per game at the plate. Their .942 OPS sits 19th in the country, and a .981 fielding percentage checks in at 18th among all Division I programs — a well-rounded club that can beat you in multiple ways.

Texas also holds the distinction of being the highest-ranked SEC program in the current polls, sitting at No. 4 across all five major outlets.

On the Mound​

The pitching matchup heavily favors the home side. Texas sends out right-hander Michael Winter (1-0, 0.00 ERA), who has been virtually untouchable in his outings this season. He'll face Islanders starter Matthew Molina (0-1, 7.84 ERA), who will need a strong performance to give Corpus Christi a fighting chance against one of college baseball's hottest offenses.
