Texas Christian 3, Texas Tech 2

Boomer White drove in the go-ahead run in a dramatic eighth inning, and TCU beat Big 12 rival Texas Tech in the College World Series on Sunday at Omaha, Neb.

The Horned Frogs (48-16) fell behind in the top of the eighth after starting pitcher Preston Morrison left the game, but they came back in the bottom half against Tech closer Jonny Drozd.

TCU, the No. 7 national seed, moves to a Tuesday game against Virginia. Texas Tech (45-20), in the CWS for the first time, will play the Virginia-Ole Miss loser in the afternoon.

TCU closer Riley Ferrell (3-1) earned the win in relief of Preston Morrison, who allowed five singles and struck out a career-high 10 in 7 1-3 innings. Drozd (7-1) took the loss.

TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle called on Ferrell after Morrison gave up a sharply hit single to Stephen Smith. Anthony Lyons followed with a pinch-hit single, and then Tyler Neslony drove a ball the right-field wall for a 2-1 lead.

The Frogs went back ahead in the bottom half. Keaton Jones scored from second when second baseman Alec Humphreys, who had just entered the game, overthrew first after stopping Cody Jones' grounder up the middle. Jones went to second on the play and scored on White's two-out base hit to left.

The Red Raiders threatened in the ninth on Tim Proudfoot's infield single and an error that allowed Hunter Redman to reach with two out. The game ended when pinch-hitter Todd Ritchie grounded out.

TCU beat Texas Tech for the third time in five meetings this season.

TCU scored on White's sacrifice fly in the first inning, and Morrison made it hold up until the eighth. The Big 12 pitcher of the year outdueled Tech starter Chris Sadberry, striking out eight through four innings. Sadberry gave up three hits, walked two and struck out five before giving way to Drodz.

The Frogs came in with the nation's best ERA (2.19), and their bullpen came into the game having allowed two runs in 28 1-3 innings.

Virginia 2, Mississippi 1

Mike Papi’s RBI double into right-center with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Virginia a victory over Mississippi.

The Cavaliers’ win came as Nathan Kirby and Artie Lewicki combined for the first one-hitter at the CWS in 31 years.

The Rebels elected to pitch to Virginia’s top hitter and RBI leader even though first base was unoccupied. Aaron Greenwood (3-2) ran the count full before Papi drilled the ball into the gap, allowing Nate Irving to score from second.

Virginia (50-14) plays TCU in a winners game on Tuesday night. Ole Miss (46-20) meets Texas Tech in an elimination game in the afternoon.

Lewicki (2-0) earned the win in relief after Kirby gave up one hit and one run over seven innings. Ole Miss converted two walks and a groundout to tie it in the eighth.

The one-hitter was the first since Alabama’s Alan Dunn and Tim Meacham threw one against Arizona State in 1983.

Ole Miss’ only hit against Kirby was Errol Robinson’s single leading off the third, but the senior left-hander walked three and needed relief help from Lewicki in the eighth.

The Cavaliers had converted three singles and a walk into a run in the fifth and then hoped Kirby could take them the rest of the way.

Ole Miss center fielder Auston Bousfield kept Virginia from taking a three-run lead in the seventh when, with two runners on, he made an over-the-shoulder catch of Derek Fisher’s fly to end the inning.

That big defensive play put the Rebels in position to tie it after Kirby, who had retired 14 of the previous 15 batters, walked Sikes Orvis and Colby Bortles to start the eighth. Lewicki came on, the runners moved over on a sacrifice and then pinch-hitter Holt Perdzock made it 1-1 with his RBI groundout.

Rebels starter Chris Ellis allowed six hits, walked four and struck out three in six innings. Jeremy Massie entered with a runner on base and none out in the seventh and, thanks to Bousfield’s spectacular catch, got out of the seventh unscathed.

Greenwood pitched a perfect eighth but walked Irving to start the bottom of the ninth. Branden Coswell moved him over with a sacrifice. After Daniel Pinero struck out, Papi delivered his game-winning hit to spark Virginia’s celebration.
