ASU baseball returns to Texas for first time since 2011 NCAA super regional

It's been a long time but for some, Arizona State baseball playing at Texas for an NCAA Tournament regional is like returning to the scene of a crime.

Controversial catcher's interference and balk calls against ASU in the third game of a 2011 super regional at Texas contributed to a 4-2 Sun Devils loss that kept them out of the College World Series. The defeat still stings today in part because ASU has not reached the CWS since 2010 (also losing twice to Texas at the 2009 CWS) and because there have been no subsequent games against the Longhorns.
