Due to the threat of inclement weather, the Texas softball team will only play one game on Saturday at the Bevo Classic. The Longhorns, currently ranked No. 2, were originally scheduled to face Ohio State at 2:30 p.m. and Syracuse at 7:30 p.m. but will now only take on Ohio State at 5 p.m. at McCombs Field.
