The winner-take-all Game 3 of the Stanford Super Regional between Texas baseball and the No. 8 Stanford Cardinal will take place on June 12. Texas and head coach David Pierce will look to advance to the College World Series for the third year in a row if it can bounce back with a win over Stanford early this week at the Sunken Diamond.
Pierce and the Longhorns fell short of the Cardinal in Game 2 of the Stanford Super Regional to cap the weekend on the night of June 11. Stanford rode a solid complete-game performance from left-hander Quinn Matthews, in which he allowed just three earned runs and struck out a whopping 16 Texas batters, to an 8-3 win on June 11.
