One day after Texas' 6-5 walk-off win over Air Force, the Longhorns' offense showed up Wednesday in a 12-3 romp over the Falcons at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

Texas (13-8, 2-1) recorded 14 hits. Max Belyeu, Rylan Galvan and Will Gasparino homered and accounted for six of those 14 hits, six of the 12 runs and 10 RBIs. Charlie Hurley, making his first appearance in 10 days, picked up the pitching victory. He allowed four hits and two runs over his five innings. He walked three Falcons (9-11) and struck out four.

Texas now turns its attention back to Big 12 play. The Longhorns will face a conference foe for the first time since March 10 when they host Baylor (7-13, 2-4) at 6:30 p.m. Friday, 2:30 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. Texas is 2-1 in conference play.
