STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) — Andrew Morris and two relievers combined on a seven-hitter and Texas Tech scored three runs in the fourth inning to eliminate host Georgia Southern, the 16th overall seed, 3-1 in the Statesboro Regional. The Red Raiders had three of their four hits in the pivotal inning to advance to the finals against Notre Dame needing to win twice. Hitless through three innings, Cole Stilwell and Jace Jung singled to open the bottom of the fourth and Ty Coleman drew a walk to load the bases. Another walk by Kurt Wilson ended the day for Georgia Southern starter Danny Madden. Owen Washburn hit a sacrifice fly off Jay Thompson before Hudson White’s single capped the rally.
