White went deep three times Friday, hit a grand slam Saturday and homered again Sunday. White was 9 for 14 with seven runs scored and 12 RBIs for the weekend. Texas remained No. 1 in the polls after outscoring Rice 36-3 in a three-game sweep. Long Beach State took two of three from defending national champion Mississippi State. Bryant pulled the biggest upset by taking three games from East Carolina.
