Texas outfielder Dylan Campbell made Big 12 history Friday during the Longhorns' 4-2 win over Louisiana in the NCAA tournament.
Texas' Dylan Campbell celebrates after hitting a walkoff single off East Carolina's Wyatt Lunsford-Shenkman during the ninth inning of an NCAA college super regional baseball game on Saturday, June 11, 2022, in Greenville, N.C. Earlier this week, before Texas took off for Coral Gables, Fla., junior outfielder Dylan Campbell said he was too focused on the NCAA tournament to start obsessing over his historic hitting streak.
Campbell’s base knock in the bottom of the sixth inning extended his hitting streak to 36 games, the longest in Big 12 history. He broke a previous tie with Oklahoma State’s Ty Wright, who recorded a hit in 35 straight games in 2007. The former Houston Strake Jesuit standout added to his memorable day in the bottom of the seventh, blasting a two-out, two-run double into the wall to give Texas a 4-2 lead.“The whole hitting streak is a big, big deal, I think probably more for me and our family than for him,” said Donovan Campbell, Dylan’s father. “You know, everybody asks him about it. He doesn't even think about it. So yeah, he’s just more of a laid bac, humble kid and just really doesn't even take.
Campbell and the second-seeded Longhorns will next take the field Saturday at 5 p.m. They’ll face the winner of Friday’s late game between No. 9 national seed Miami and No. 4 seed Maine.
