(AP) -- Dan Touchet held South Carolina to five hits over 7 2-3 innings, and Danny Matienzo hit his third homer of the super regional to keep Miami alive and force a Game 3. The Hurricanes (34-28) had a losing record on May 17 and were in danger of not making the NCAA tournament and defending their national title. Now they can reach the College World Series for the eighth time in nine years with a win Sunday at Sarge Frye Field. South Carolina (52-16) had the bases loaded in the sixth and eight innings, but could only score on Brian Buscher's sacrifice fly.
Clemson 8, Arkansas 7CLEMSON, S.C. -- Matt Henrie pitched seven innings and Clemson relievers held off an Arkansas rally to send the series to a final game. The Tigers (51-15) led 8-2 before Arkansas (35-27) scored five runs in the final two innings. With the tying run on first, B.J. LaMura struck out Andrew Wishy and Cody Clark to get his first career save. Henrie (12-4) settled in after giving up two early unearned runs and retired 16 of 17 in 5 1-3 hitless innings, but he ran out of steam with Clemson leading 8-2 in the eighth. Clemson's Khalil Greene extended his hitting streak to 32 games in the third inning with his 25th homer of season, tying teammate Jeff Baker for the school record. Texas 17, Houston 2AUSTIN -- Jeff Ontiveros homered twice and drove in three runs as Texas broke out of its offensive slump with 21 hits in a rout of Houston to force a Game 3. Ryan Hubele went 5-for-6 with a homer, two doubles, two RBIs and four runs scored for Texas (52-15), which is seeking a record 29th College World Series appearance and first national title since 1983. Houston (48-16), which won the first game Friday night 2-0, hasn't been to the CWS since 1967. Longhorns ace Justin Simmons, who went 14-0 during the regular season, lasted just 2 2-3 innings Saturday night, giving up six hits, two runs and three walks.
Notre Dame-FSU postponed because of rainTALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The super regional game between Notre Dame (48-15) and Florida State (59-13) was postponed because of rain and rescheduled for Sunday at 1:30 p.m. The Fighting Irish (48-15) won Friday 10-4 and ended the Seminoles' 25-game winning streak. The Irish, who have won 30 of their last 33 games, need one more victory to earn their first College World Series berth since 1957. If Florida State, the tournament's top seed, wins Sunday a deciding Game 3 would be played Monday at noon. |
