Sam Houston State shocks Texas Tech to advance to NCAA super regional

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Hunter Hearn scored twice and drove in two more runs to lead Sam Houston State to a 4-3 victory over host Texas Tech, and the Bearkats are going to an NCAA super regional for the first time.

After Hearn reached on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning to drive in a run and tie the game at 3-all, he scored from first on second baseman Brian Klein's throwing error that ricocheted down the right field line.

Sam Houston State (44-21), the Southland Conference tournament champ, dropped into the loser's bracket after a 6-0 loss to Texas Tech on Saturday night.
