Capsules & Brackets Summary
Texas 13, Miami 2
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Texas'
highly anticipated College World Series matchup with Miami was all but over
after two innings.
The Longhorns converted two errors by third baseman Gaby Sanchez into seven
unearned runs in the first two innings, and J.P. Howell pitched six solid
innings as Texas cruised to a 13-2 victory Saturday night.
The defending national champions battered six Miami pitchers for 15 hits.
"It was an offensive display we normally don't put on," Texas coach Augie
Garrido said. "There's a lot of potential on this team, so it doesn't come
as a surprise. But it does come as a relief when the score stretches out
like that."
The game between the last two national champions was played before a CWS
record crowd of 26,327.
Texas (49-18) advanced to a game Monday against intrastate rival Rice
(54-11), which beat Southwest Missouri State 4-2 earlier Saturday.
Rice
4, Southwest Missouri State 2
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Jeff
Niemann carried a one-hitter into the ninth inning and Vincent Sinisi and
Austin Davis homered Saturday as Rice defeated Southwest Missouri State 4-2.
Niemann (17-0) won his
school-record 18th straight decision over two seasons. The 6-foot-9,
260-pound sophomore allowed only Greg Mathis' bunt single in the third
inning before leaving in the ninth after leadoff homers by Mathis and Scott
Nasby.
Niemann walked one and struck
out 10. David Aardsma got the last three outs for his 12th save.
Rice (54-11) advanced to play Texas on Monday. SMSU (40-25) plays Miami
(Fla.) Monday in an elimination game.
Rice and SMSU combined for
only eight hits, tying the fewest in a CWS game.
The Bears' Chad Mulholland
(10-4) settled down after struggling in the first inning. He hit two
batters, walked one and threw a wild pitch all against the first three
batters. After loading the bases, Rice picked up two runs on Enrique Cruz's
single and Craig Stansberry's sacrifice fly.
