Jace Jung sparked No. 8 Texas Tech with an early home run, while Kurt Wilson added a long ball of his own as part of three RBI on the night as the Red Raiders remained undefeated in the NCAA Lubbock Regional following a 7-2 victory Saturday over North Carolina.

Jung quickly had a soldout Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park on its feet with a two-run shot into the right-field bullpen that gave the Red Raiders (38-15) an early lead in the first. The home run was the 21st of the season for Jung, who moved into sole possession of third place all-time in Tech single-season history with the blast.

Wilson, meanwhile, provided the late-game heroics like he’s been known to do in the postseason. The junior padded a one-run Tech lead with an opposite-field solo blast in the seventh that hit off the right-field foul pole. He broke the game open only an inning later with a two-run single that matched Jung with a two-hit night.

Texas Tech punched its ticket for its fifth Super Regional in school history Sunday evening after the Red Raiders utilized key two-out hitting and another strong pitching performance to top UCLA, 8-2, in front of a soldout Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.

The win completes a weekend sweep of the NCAA Lubbock Regional for the Red Raiders (39-15), who will move on to face the winner of the Palo Alto Regional next weekend back in front of its home crowd. UC Irvine forced a decisive final game with host Stanford set for Monday after topping the Cardinal, 8-4, on Sunday night.

Tech broke up a tie game with a three-run third inning and then added three more in the fifth to down the Bruins (37-20), who routed North Carolina, 12-2, earlier in the day to advance to the regional final. The Red Raiders knocked in five runs with two outs on the night with four of those coming over those two innings.
