Tough loss for the LSU Tigers sunday night, the coach of the Tigers Paul Mainieri comments are, it’s suddenly over, it’s awful for his team Seniors and the team not to get a trip to Omaha. The Seawolves deserve the trip, lots of good pitching, clutch hitting from Stony Brook, and it’s the 2nd day that the Seawolves pitching held the LSU Bats to 3 hits. Mason Katz had LSU’s only run with a solo shot in the bottom of the 1st to tie the game up.The two hotest teams going into Omaha I would say are the Stony Brook Seawolves and the Florida State Seminoles. The Noles demolished Stanford, the 1st game 17 to 1, and the second game 18 to 7. The Noles scored 35 runs over the weekend, since I been following College Baseball from the early 90’s I never seen a team score that many runs since LSU when they played gorilla ball and just pounded teams back in the 90’s for their 5 National Championships. I would go with the Noles to win it all, but don’t count out the Seawolves. I think LSU was the best team in baseball, and the Seawolves beat them 2 out of 3. I am sure the sloppiness on the field had something to do with LSU’s play, but the Seawolves had to play on the field as well. Frankie Vanderka’s complete game helped the Seawolves to advance as he allowed only two runs on three hits with four walks and five strikeouts. Stony Brook qualified for the program’s first College World Series and improved to 2-1 in NCAA Super Regional games, while LSU dropped to 12-10 in NCAA Super Regional games. Stony Brook will play UCLA, the number 2 national seed on Friday in the opening round of the CWS. Good luck to Stony Brook, they will need it especially having the 1st time jitters in Omaha on the big stage at the CWS. William Carmona went 3 for 5, batted 399, with 1 rbi, 2 runs scored, and Travis Jankowski went 4 for 6, with 422 pct at bat, and 2 runs scored, if Stony Brook keeps hitting the ball like they did against LSU they will sweep thru Omaha. The Seawolves will be on display, but they will be playing a talented UCLA Bruins ball club who has been to Omaha twice in the last 3 years. In other Super Regional Series Oregon, and Florida advances, as South Carolina and Oklahoma are awaiting a rain delay and resume play today; defending 2 time champion South Carolina leads the series 1-0. Baylor and Arkansas split their series and resumes play today to decide who goes to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. I remember starting my websites 1st roadtrip which started in Waco,Tx attending the Baylor vs TCU Game, amazing enough Baylor’s Programs have done well this year in football, (Sunbow, Robert Griffin III, Heisman Trophy), Mens Basketball (final 8), Lady Bears Basketball went 40-0 with a National Championship,and the Lady Bears softball 34 -22 NCAA Playoffs, and now the Baylor Bears Baseball has a chance to go to the CWS; Sick em Bears.
