Texas' season came to an end Monday night due to an unusual walk-off single from Stanford second baseman Drew Bowser.
Texas' Peyton Powell is congratulated by teammates after scoring on a single by Dylan Campbell against Stanford in the eighth inning of an NCAA college baseball tournament super regional game in Stanford, Calif., Monday, June 12, 2023.The fly ball hung and hung – seven seconds or so – eventually drifting over shallow right-centerfield at Sunken Diamond. And ninety-nine times out of 100, that routine fly is caught and the game goes on.
Bower’s unusual ninth-inning walk-off RBI single secured a 7-6 win for No. 8 national seed Stanford, leaving the unseeded Longhorns one win shy of their third straight College World Series berth. Instead, the Cardinal will advance to Omaha for the third straight year to face No. 1 national seed Wake Forest.
Texas twice trailed by three runs Monday night. And twice it battled back to knot the score. And that was after starting pitcher Tanner Witt allowed three runs in just one inning of work in another tough outing following last year's Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile, Stanford used six different pitchers on the night. Joey Dixon, who started Friday, earned the win after pitching a scoreless ninth inning.
