Michigan positioned really well to reach Omaha
And after losing to Creighton, UCLA coming from behind to beat Baylor, then beating Loyola Marymount, suddenly not looking so hot

FSU beat UGA again, so UGA is out, after hosting.  They often seem to do well and then not well in the regionals.

WVU took a chance last night and sat their All-American pitcher against Fordham in hopes they could steal that one and save him for a potentially tougher game.  That’s something you else you really don’t see in MLB much either.  If your ace is ready you throw him.  The first part of the plan worked.  Now they are throwing Manoah tonight against Duke.  If he mows them down then I guess the coach looks like a genius.
The way the season ended for WVU is gut wrenching.

It was brutal.  The coach (Randy Mazey) has been getting barbecued the last couple of days.  He stayed with two relievers way too long yesterday. The result in both cases was a grand slam that completely changed the game.

And I'm guessing neither was Pedro Martinez

worse is bringing i your top closer in the 9th and watching him give up a 3 run bomb, blowing the save and losing the game

of course, the coach isn't blamed.  And blaming the kid isn't as brutal

Those Okie St Cowboys have the bats!

Stayin' Alive...


I became a fan of OSU baseball as they were beating the Terps in the game that was suspended Thursday night of the B1G tournament.  They are a good bunch of hard-nosed players.  I wish they'd gotten out of Nashville, but Vanderbilt is a tough obstacle for anybody...

WVU is hosting a post season baseball game for the first time since 1955.  Fans are pretty pumped. Gonna be a tough ticket to get. But, yeah, the Mountaineers are pretty good this year.  The Big 12 money allowed the school to build a much needed new stadium a few years ago and it has helped in recruiting and fielding better teams.

In 2016 WVU made a regional for the first time since 1997 and now are back hosting one.  They also made the Big 12 championship game for the third time this past Saturday.  There isn’t a lot of great baseball being played in the northeast.  WVU is trying to establish itself as THE program in that part of the country.
Their stadium on the other side of the Mon is beautiful!
