not sure what the story is but looking at the records, we played lamar twice in the regional at the disch.  we won game 1 6-0 and game 2 6-5 to advance us to the cws.  assuming it has to do with a finish in the 6-5 game.

I'm certain I was at the game, and I vaguely remember it.  It was definitely a walk-off win for the Longhorns, and I recall it being some quirky play (maybe the runner scoring from second on a wild pitch or some damned thing).  I'm reasonably sure Spike Owen scored the game-winning run.

Spike Owens scores the winning run on a play where the throw to the plate was perfect, catcher had it....he was a dead duck.

Somehow, at least in his and the umpire’s eyes, he slid under the tag. Spike hopped up immediately with the “safe” sign, and the umpire emphatically agreed.
