Stanford flipped the script with a big ninth inning to beat Texas and force a...
Stanford pitcher Quinn Mathews celebrates against Texas in the ninth inning of an NCAA college baseball tournament super regional game in Stanford, Calif., Sunday, June 11, 2023. Since the NCAA tournament expanded to its current format in 1999, only two teams had ever overcomethree-run deficits in the super regionals to advance to the College World Series. Texas aspired to become the third Sunday night against No. 9 national seed Stanford at Sunken Diamond.
Texas had pockets of success against Mathews on a mild Sunday night in California. But those proved fleeting against the lefthander, who struck out every single Longhorn once to finish with a career-high 16 Ks. Daly was the first Longhorn to come across and score, too. First baseman Jared Thomas turned one of Mathews' few costly mistakes into a triple down the right-field line, plating Daly to knot the game at 1-1 in the third.
It laid off and forced Texas starter Lebarron Johnson Jr. to make pitches, staging a sort of war of attrition with the rising redshirt sophomore who’d pitched a complete game against No. 8 national seed Miami just last weekend. Johnson ended up throwing 97 pitches across 4 1/3 innings and allowed four earned runs with four strikeouts and four walks.
