That's how long it took before the Texas Longhorns defeated the Boston College Golden Eagles 3-2 at UFCU DischFalk Field in Austin Saturday night (and Sunday morning). Texas' Travis Tucker had the game-winning RBI single in the top of the 25th inning to break the 18 scoreless innings in his record 12th at-bat in the game. But the hero was Texas reliever Austin Wood, who pitched 12 1/3 no-hit innings and finished with 169 pitches, striking out 14. The win, which broke the previous NCAA record of 23 innings played between Louisiana-Lafayette and McNeese State on March 27, 1971, puts the Longhorns one win away from advancing to a superregional which they would host next weekend.
