Texas Advances to NCAA Baseball Super Regional with 10-6 win over Miami

MIAMI, Fla. – Texas Baseball defeated Miami, 10-6, to win the NCAA Coral Gables Regional on Sunday night at Alex Rodriguez Park. The Longhorns (41-20) went 3-0 in the regional and await the winner of the Stanford Regional, which will be decided between Stanford and Texas A&M.
 
With the NCAA Regional win, Texas advances to the Super Regional for the third-straight season and the 13th time in program history.
 
Dylan Campbell went 1-for-4 with a run scored and extended his program and Big 12 record hitting streak to 38 games. Jalin Flores hit a grand slam in the third that represented the game-winning runs.
 
Miami grabbed a 3-0 lead in the second with a three-run home run following a pair of hit batters. The home run was the only hit allowed by Tanner Witt in his two innings of work.
 
Charlie Hurley came out of the bullpen and settled the game down with 4.1 innings pitched. He allowed three runs on four hits and picked up his fifth win of the season.
 
Zane Morehouse pitched the final 2.2 innings and was dominant, striking out seven batters and allowing just one hit.
 
Texas put together a huge third inning, scoring nine runs on seven hits and sending 13 batters to the plate to take a 9-3 lead. Jack O’Dowd got it all started with a single and Mitchell Daly walked to put two runners on.
 
Jared Thomas drove in the first run of the game with an RBI double and Peyton Powell followed with a two-run single to tie the game up 3-3. Campbell hit a single to extend his hitting streak and chase the starter out of the game. Guillemette greeted the reliever with a go-aheda two-run double down the left field line.
 
After back-to-back walks by Porter Brown and Eric Kennedy loaded the bases, Flores launched a grand slam home run to straight-away center field. 
 
The Longhorns tacked on another run in the sixth when Porter Brown was hit by a pitch with the bases-loaded.
 
The Hurricanes hit a three-run homer in the seventh to cut the Longhorns lead to 10-6 before Morehouse came into the game and slammed the door.

UT's Lebarron Johnson, Jr. was named Most Valuable Player of the Coral Gables Regional. Guillemette, Thomas, Campbell and Flores also earned nods to the Coral Gables Regional All-Tournament Team.
