Here’s your Texas College Baseball Stock Report for May 1–3, 2026.

Stock Up

Texas Longhorns

Texas continues to trend in the right direction after a strong weekend against SEC competition.

• Series Win vs #10 Mississippi State
• Sunday: Texas 11 – Mississippi State 6

The Longhorns delivered in all phases—pitching, timely hitting, and closing out games. Winning a series against a ranked SEC opponent is a major statement this time of year.

UT Rio Grande Valley

UTRGV put together one of the most complete weekends of any Texas program.

• Friday: UTRGV 4 – Incarnate Word 3
• Saturday: UTRGV 7 – Incarnate Word 5
• Sunday: UTRGV 5 – Incarnate Word 0

Series Sweep + Shutout Finish

The Vaqueros were sharp all weekend, especially on the mound. Sweeping a conference opponent and finishing with a shutout puts them firmly on the rise.

Rice Owls

Rice is starting to find rhythm offensively at the right time.

• Saturday: Rice 16 – UAB 9
• Sunday: Rice 10 – UAB 3

The bats showed up in a big way, and Rice controlled the weekend with consistent run production.

Dallas Baptist Patriots

DBU continues to stack wins and stay consistent quietly.

• Friday: DBU 4 – Louisiana Tech 1
• Sunday: DBU 9 – Louisiana Tech 7

They continue to handle business and remain one of the most reliable programs in Texas.

UTSA Roadrunners

UTSA delivered a solid, controlled weekend performance.

• Saturday: UTSA 13 – Wichita State 7
• Sunday: UTSA 6 – Wichita State 3

Balanced play on both sides of the ball helped UTSA take control and close out the series.

Stock Down

Texas A&M Aggies

Texas A&M showed fight late, but couldn’t recover from a tough start.

• Saturday: Auburn 18 – Texas A&M 5
• Sunday: Texas A&M 4 – #8 Auburn 3

Avoiding the sweep helps, but dropping the series—especially with a lopsided loss—keeps the Aggies trending slightly down.

Houston Cougars

Houston continues to struggle in tight situations.

• Friday: Cincinnati 3 – Houston 2
• Sunday: Cincinnati 4 – Houston 3

Close games continue to go the wrong way. At this stage of the season, those losses add up quickly.

Texas State Bobcats

Texas State couldn’t keep pace this weekend.

• Friday: South Alabama 6 – Texas State 2
• Sunday: South Alabama 7 – Texas State 4

The Bobcats were outmatched across the series and never fully found momentum.

Sam Houston Bearkats

Sam Houston ran into a tough weekend and couldn’t slow things down.

• Friday: Kennesaw State 6 – Sam Houston 5
• Sunday: Kennesaw State 12 – Sam Houston 1

The Sunday result especially stands out. Giving up double-digit runs in a finale is a tough way to close a series.

TCU Horned Frogs

TCU was right there—but couldn’t finish.

• Friday: Oklahoma State 7 – TCU 6
• Sunday: Oklahoma State 11 – TCU 10

Two one-run losses highlight the issue. The Frogs are competitive, but closing games remains a problem.

Final Thoughts

This weekend gave us a clearer picture of where teams stand heading into the stretch run.

• Texas is trending like a legitimate contender
• UTRGV is one of the hottest teams in the state
• Rice and UTSA are gaining momentum at the right time
• Texas A&M shows fight, but inconsistency remains

On the other side, teams like Houston, Texas State, and Sam Houston are running out of time to fix late-game issues and overall consistency.

From here on out, every series carries postseason implications—and the margin for error is only getting smaller.
