GAME LOG: Campbell Walks Off ECU 9-8, Forces Game Three on Sunday
The Texas Longhorns knew that going into the Greenville Super Regional would be a hostile environment, and it showed in full force on Friday. The Longhorns pitching struggled mightily, as even usually reliable ace Pete Hansen only lasted four innings in what would be a 13-7 loss for Texas. Now, Texas needs to win on Saturday to force a game three on Sunday if they want to keep their Omaha dreams alive.
