Texas surges past Virginia in 6-2 win to remain alive

A weather delay that lasted more than three and a half hours resulted in the latest start for a College World Series game since 1997, forcing the Texas Longhorns to pull out a 6-2 win against the Virginia Cavaliers at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha in the early hours of Friday morning.

First baseman Zach Zubia came through in the ninth inning, breaking a 3-for-30 slump since the opening game of the NCAA Tournament with a phenomenal at bat. Working a full count, Zubia got a fastball up in the zone and used a short swing to smash a two-out, three-run, double into the left-center gap.
