Desperate for a win, Texas once again had an Ace up its sleeve.

Junior Ace Whitehead threw six innings of three-hit baseball as Texas raced to a 7-0 win over TCU at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Saturday. With the win, Texas evened its weekend series with a TCU team that recorded a 5-0 victory on Friday night.

Saturday's game also featured an hourlong weather delay.

Over nine appearances and 43 1/3 innings this season, Whitehead is now 4-0 with a 3.32 ERA. More notably, Texas is 5-0 in games he has started. All five of those starts came after a Longhorn loss.

In addition to Whitehead, Texas received standout performances from Cade O'Hara and Casey Borba on Saturday. O'Hara allowed two hits over three innings of relief pitching and the converted infielder earned this first career save. In his first start since March 17, Borba went 3-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs for a Texas team that scored five times in the second inning and twice in the third frame.

Texas (23-17, 10-7) and TCU (23-14, 8-12) will close out their series at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. The announced starts for this finale are UT junior Lebarron Johnson Jr. (1-3, 5.57 ERA) and TCU freshman Mason Bixby (1-0, 3.21).
