Recap

The Longhorns aren't heading home yet.

Texas survived its first game in the elimination bracket, defeating Tennessee 8-4 on Tuesday. 

Eric Kennedy had a big game for the Longhorns, blasting a three-run homer in the bottom of the second that set the tone for Texas. 

Cam Williams and Silas Ardoin added two RBI apiece. 

While starter Tristan Witts had a tough go of it (four earned runs on six hits in just 3.1 innings), Tanner Witt came on in relief and shut the door on Tennessee, throwing 5.2 innings of scoreless ball while giving up just three hits, earning the win. 

The Longhorns also flashed some serious leather in the victory:

Tennessee starter Blade Tidwell struggled (four runs, three earned, two hits and two walks in three innings), while Sean Hunley (three earned runs in 0.2 innings) took the loss. 

Tennessee's season is over. Texas awaits Virginia. 

That's because Mississippi State pulled off a massive comeback against the Cavaliers in Tuesday's second game, scoring eight runs in the top of the eighth inning to win, 6-5. 

After trailing 4-0, Kellum Clark hit a two-run homer, Tanner Allen followed it up with a three-run shot and Scotty Dubrulle added an RBI single. 

Mississippi State starter Christian MacLeod had a tough outing, giving up four runs in 1.1 innings of work, but the bullpen came to the rescue, allowing just seven hits and one run the rest of the way. Cade Smith took the win. 

Virginia's Griff McGarry was cruising until Clark's two-run dinger. In 7.1 innings he gave up just one hit and two runs, striking out eight. But while Mississippi State's bullpen thrived, Virginia's reinforcements couldn't secure the win, with Stephen Schoch taking the loss after giving up two runs in 0.1 innings of work. 

And so Virginia will face Texas on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2), with the loser's season coming to an end.
