Texas’ 4-1 win over Miami puts team one win from the super regionals

After beating Miami, Texas is one win away from the super regionals.

Dylan Campbell is having a historic season. The versatile outfielder extended his 37-game hitting streak with a two-run home run in the first inning. The moonshot put the Longhorns up early over the No. 9 Miami Hurricanes. It was effectively all Texas from there.

Lebarron Johnson Jr. pitched a complete game on Saturday night to secure the victory. Johnson allowed just one run to the vaunted Miami offense in 9 innings. While in control for the majority of the game, the redshirt sophomore made the pitches necessary to put Texas in the driver’s seat in the Coral Gables Region.

The current team has come a long way since its poor opening to the season. Though less talented than the 2022 squad, perhaps this group is playing with more poise than that team.

The Longhorns have controlled their first two ballgames of the tournament. Now they are one win away from the next round. Texas (2-0) will face the winner of Louisiana (1-1) and Miami (1-1) with a chance to advance on Sunday evening.

Texas gets favorable draw in NCAA Tourney besides facing Miami

The Corral Gables Region SHOULD come down to Miami and Texas.

Texas has a chance to make it back to Omaha for the College World Series. Despite a poor showing the last time the team took the field, the Longhorns were placed in a bracket that gives them a chance to advance.

The team begins its postseason as a No. 2 seed against the No. 3 seeded Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns on Friday at 1 p.m. CT. Louisiana sneaks into the field as one of the last four teams to make the NCAA Tournament. Texas and Louisiana are joined by the Maine Black Bears and the regional host Miami Hurricanes.

Miami will undoubtedly be a significant hurdle for the Longhorns after a 40-19 season for Corral Gables’ home team. Though Texas will have to take Louisiana seriously on Friday, the regional could come down to winning two of three matchups against the Hurricanes.

The grouping unites two of the most successful programs in college baseball history. Texas (38) and Miami (25) currently own the most College World Series appearances in collegiate baseball. Both will vie for a spot in this year’s round of eight teams in Omaha.
