There are heartbreaking losses, and then there’s the way Texas saw its season end during Monday night’s super regional game against Stanford.
With the series tied at one game apiece and the winner of Game 3 clinching a spot in the College World Series, the Longhorns rallied for three runs in the top of the eighth inning to tie the game, 6–6. The score stayed the same heading to the bottom of the ninth, when Stanford got two baserunners with two outs.
Cardinal infielder Drew Bowser lifted a high fly ball that looked like a sure out to right-center field—but nobody on the Texas defense was able to come down with it after both the center fielder and right fielder appeared to lose sight of the ball in the stadium lights.
