Walks lift Texas, 7-6, in CWS

OMAHA, Neb. — A great day of pitching gave way to a rough night on the mound at the College World Series.

Arizona State's Josh Spence and North Carolina's Alex White engaged in a rare CWS pitchers' duel before the Sun Devils pulled away for a 5-2 victory in 10 innings.

Later, Southern Mississippi pitchers walked in the last three Texas runs, including in the bottom of the ninth that gave the Longhorns a 7-6 win.

Play continues in Bracket 1 on Monday with Cal State Fullerton (47-15) meeting Virginia (48-14-1) in an afternoon elimination game and Arkansas (40-22) facing Southeastern Conference rival LSU (52-16) at night.

Games resume in Bracket 2 on Tuesday, with Southern Miss (40-25) trying to stay alive against North Carolina (47-17) in the afternoon and Texas (47-14-1) meeting Arizona State (50-12) at night.
