AUSTIN, Texas -- The UT Tower will be drenched in burnt orange lighting this evening in recognition of the Texas Softball team's Big 12 regular season championship. Per UT tradition, the campus landmark is bathed in burnt orange lighting from top to bottom when a University of Texas athletics team wins a conference title.
The Longhorns shut out Baylor on Thursday night in Waco, 6-0, to claim the conference title outright and give UT its first conference championship since 2006.
The Softball team returns to action on Sunday, May 9, when the Longhorns host nationally-ranked Georgia for a two-game series. First pitch is scheduled for noon on Sunday, and 6 p.m. on Monday, May 10.
