Texas baseball vs. ECU: Odds, TV/stream, pick for super regional final
In the finale of the Greenville Super Regional on June 12, head coach David Pierce and No. 9 Texas baseball get one more matchup against the No. 8 East Carolina Pirates.

Campbell gave the Longhorns the absolute boost they needed, coming up with a home run to give Texas the lead in the bottom of the eighth. And then, after ECU tied the game in the top of the ninth, Campbell also drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth. That gave the Longhorns the win by the final score of 9-8.

Texas baseball vs. ECU pick
After two straight days of the Texas pitching staff getting shelled by the Pirates, Pierce will need to find the answer to start getting a grip on this ECU lineup. Texas 21 runs in the first two games of the Greenville Super Regional, which was not the intended start behind Pete Hansen and Lucas Gordon.
Texas is clearly providing some solid run support for the pitching staff throughout this super regional. Campbell and Hodo helped to spark that effort for the Longhorns late in the game on June 11.
But all Texas theoretically needs to slip through to the College World Series is one solid pitching effort. This is where Pierce and his staff will need to get creative as Texas has used up a good bit of the bullpen already through this super regional.
