Monday night will see Game 3 action for Southern Miss against Tennessee and Texas against Stanford.
Southern Miss and Tennessee will play at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN2, while Texas and Stanford will start at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Tennessee scored 8 straight runs to climb out of an early 4-0 hole and rally to keep its season going with an 8-4 victory over Southern Miss in Sunday’s must-win game two of the Hattiesburg Super Regional at Pete Taylor Park.
The Vols gave up 4 runs in the 3rd inning, but came back with 6 in the 4th, and then added 2 more in the 5th.
Griffin Merritt, Blake Burke and Jared Dickey provided a bulk of the offense for Tennessee.
Merritt tied a career high with 4 hits, all singles, and drove in UT’s first run of the game with a hit through the right side of the infield to plate Christian Moore, who led off the inning with a double. One batter later, Burke hammered a 2-2 pitch way over the wall in right field to pull the Vols within a run. The home run was the sophomore’s 16th of the season and traveled an estimated 479 feet.
Stanford senior Quinn Mathews struck out 16 Texas hitters in a complete game effort to lift Stanford to an 8-3 victory over Texas on Sunday in Game 2.
Mathews threw 156 pitches, and allowed 3 runs on 8 hits and just one walk to go with the career-best 16 strikeouts.
