AUSTIN, Texas – On Friday night in Texas Classic action at Red & Charline McCombs Field, Texas (2-0) stirred up memories from last season's numerous late-game heroics by securing a come-from-behind, 6-5 (8 inn.) walk-off victory over North Carolina (1-1).
The walk-off marked the sixth overall and the fifth in the friendly confines of McCombs Field for the Longhorns over the past two seasons.
UT trailed the Tarheels by a 5-2 count heading into the bottom of the fifth before plating three runs on a clutch RBI double from junior pinch hitter Mickenzi Krpec and a key two-RBI single and first collegiate hit from freshman shortstop Christina Bardwell.
