This isn’t the first time Gurwitz played big in a tournament for Texas. The center fielder hit an impressive 8-for-13 in the Big 12 Tournament, earning him the Most Outstanding Player award.
Third-seeded Texas was down 4-2 to two-seed Oregon when Gurwitz made the catch. The out kept Texas in reach, and in the next inning, Longhorn second baseman Brooks Marlow hit a home run to tie up the game.
