Konner Wade pitched the 100th shutout in College World Series play and the 4-0 victory over UCLA on Sunday night kept Arizona in the winner’s bracket.
Well,baseball Arizona is awaiting the winners of the Gamecocks and Razorback game to see who will be in the CWS Finals.Arizona has not lost a game,and looks like they will be facing two time defending Champion South Carolina,the Gamecocks shut out Arkansas last night and didn’t even use their bullpen so they will be well rested for tonights game.Anything can happen in Omaha, the Razorbacks just might wake up out of their slumber and beat the Gamecocks,time will soon tell as game time approaches.
Lebron James has finally won a championship and celebrating with teammates.The title he has pursued ever since his days as a Cavalier has eluded him until he came to Miami and team up with Dwanye Wade, and Chris Bosh.Lebron James had a big night with a triple double 26 Pts, 11 Reb, 13 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 Blk,what a way to go out as he won a NBA Title.Shane Battier gets a ring as well,out of Duke in 2000,I got a chance to meet Mr.Battier at the L.A. Pro-Am League as he was warming up with the Grizzlies to play in the summer league.Erik Spoelstra what a job his has done to bring the Heat back to the finals and to complete his duties as well.The most emotional part of the whole series was probably when Lebron embrace friend Kevin Durrant after the game, you could tell they were good friends and someone had to win, and someone had to lose.Oh,and lets don’t forget Pat Riley bringing all these players together.The Heat look like the Lakers on the East Coast,SHOW TIME.
South Carolina played a double header in the CWS and completed a sweep. The Gamecocks beat Kent State in the opener 4 to 1, and then beat Arkansas in the night cap 2 to 0.The pitching for South Carolina has been extremely well.Today South Carolina will play Arkansas again at 8pm central time so we wait to see who goes on to face the Arizona Wildcats.Chrisitan Walker and Chase Vergason are hitting the ball well with 2 hits a piece, and English and Payne scored both runs to propel the Gamecocks.Jordan Montgomery threw a 3 hit shutout with 6 strikeouts for the win, and Matt Price came in to record his 13th save of the season.The way it looks South Carolina is in the drivers seat.South Carolina is bidding for it’s 3 straight CWS Title.
The BCS Playoffs are set, 2 and 3 will play each other as well as 1 and 4, but this will not take place until the 2014 season. So as it remains for the 1 thru 4 spots, it will be 2 SEC teams, 1 Pac 12 team, and 1 Big Ten team…..actually it could be 3 SEC teams, ( LOL) and one big ten team, OSU,Urban Myer and co. It took the Commissioners five meetings and six months to hatch out the format, the Commissioners are still waiting on the University Presidents who will meet next tuesday in Washington to finalize the final deal.Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany and Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott,SEC commissioner Mike Slive, former acting Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas and current Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby all got together to decide the outcome of the playoffs.Hopefully the playoffs will take care of any doubts who the no.1 team in the nation will be, year in and year out.
