WATCH: Texas celebrates after advancing to College World Series

Mother nature attempted to get in the way of Game 3 of the Greenville Super Regional and was successful for a few hours. When the tarp was finally taken off, Texas and East Carolina were able to resume, where the Longhorns were able to maintain their lead and win 11-1.

After recording the final out, Texas players gathered up to get the celebration underway. As is tradition within college baseball, they gathered near the pitcher’s mound to celebrate. It’s the second consecutive season David Pierce has led his team to Omaha for the College World Series.

Before the second rain delay, Ivan Melendez got the scoring underway with a three-run home run in the first inning. Another one was added to the tally before lightning in the area shut everything down. Originally scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., the game did not get back underway until 9:15 p.m.

Tristian Stevens was the MVP of the game though, putting together a crucial six innings where he only allowed one run. East Carolina only put together five hits against the starter and struck out five times as well.

Their path to Omaha began back in the Big 12 Tournament, where Oklahoma was able to get the best out of Texas in the championship game. Even with the loss, they got to host a regional and took care of business with minimal problems.

Game 1 against East Carolina was the first hiccup, with the Pirates getting to Texas pitching down the stretch. A comeback the following day tied the Super Regional up before the Longhorns got a comfortable win on Sunday night. Omaha bound.

Texas now has 38 College World Series in its storied history, winning six national championships. The last one came in 2005 and was a runner-up in 2009. Fans will be itching to see the Longhorns get their hands back on the trophy after 17 years.
