The University of Texas baseball team got all the offense it would need in the first inning Tuesday, jumping out to a 4-0 lead after the first stanza and never looking back en route to a 9-2 victory over Texas State at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

With the victory, the Longhorns improved their season record to 23-13, while Texas State fell to 20-14.
