LUBBOCK, Texas -- For 725 days, Texas Tech coach Tim Tadlock has thought about getting back to the College World Series.
The Red Raiders went two and out in their first trip to Omaha, Nebraska, in 2014. A return has been on their minds every day since.
"We're going to lay our head down every night," Tadlock said, "and wake up every morning trying to get back."
When Tadlock and the Red Raiders wake up Monday, they'll be able to plan for another trip.
Erikson Lanning struck out a career-high six, Eric Gutierrez drove in three runs and Texas Tech advanced to the CWS for the second time in three seasons, beating East Carolina 11-0 on Sunday in Game 3 of the super regionals.
