Despite crushing end to season, Texas won't shy from college baseball's bright lights
Texas' Jared Thomas and Mitchell Daly console each other after Monday night's 7-6 super regional loss to Stanford.It was an ending unworthy of the game. And for Texas, unworthy of its season.
The Longhorns’ spirited attempt to return to the College World Series ended Monday night with a 7-6 loss to the Cardinal in Game 3 of the Stanford Super Regional. It ended when, after Texas erased yet another three-run deficit in the eighth inning, outfielders Eric Kennedy and Dylan Campbell — essential and dauntless all season — couldn’t locate Cardinal second baseman Drew Bowser’s sky-scraping fly ball until it thudded into the grass.
Then, with a chance to cement its spot as a national seed, Texas face-planted in the Big 12 tournament. The top-seeded Longhorns were the first team bounced after two listless losses. The Longhorns went out to Coral Gables, Fla., and swept their way through No. 9 national seed Miami’s regional. Then they flew out to the opposite coast and took Game 1 from No. 8 seed Stanford thanks to a gutsy five-run ninth inning.
