Eric Kennedy is not known for his power. Then again, the flair for theatrics is too contagious to pass up in Omaha, Neb. at the College World Series, right?
A little over a week following his walk-off double against South Florida in the Austin Super Regionals, Kennedy ignited the Longhorns offensive spark as the No.2 Longhorns (48-16) defeated No. 3 Tennessee, 8-4. Eric has earned the right to be a starter. And he earned the right to fail and struggle, Texas coach David Pierce said. And so now his confidence is back. And we are definitely happy that he s seeing the ball well and helping this team win.
The offense regained its footing, the defense turned two big double plays, and Tanner Witt was phenomenal in relief for a mostly ineffective Tristan Stevens.
