In case you missed it, check out the series preview Kansas Weekend Preview
After winning the Thursday night series opener in walk-off fashion, the Horns are back in action tonight looking to win the series against Kansas.
Similar to last night, the Horns will face a KU pitcher who goes deep into ball games and has had good success this season.
