Sac fly ties it at 1

Love it! My two favorite teams are still in the #HotttyToddy #Longhorns

@OleMissBSB: Gatlin gets it over the infield and #RebsBSB wins 2-1 over Texas Tech. #CWS


Tech brought in 5 infielders in a do or die spot. Got to love the effort.

@astem00: After 15 innings and 4 hours, 56 minutes, Virginia beats TCU 3-2 in a game that ended at 11:59. #CWS

TCU has played a ton of innings this post-season. It will be tough for them to get out of that losers bracket.

 

I have Virginia winning it all. This extra "game" may not help, but a day off will.

 

On a side note, I do not understand all the fuss over the Chron kid. They talked like the new stadium was keeping him from having a home run barrage. Heck, he only had 5 HR's in over 200 AB's all season in other stadiums. Just because he's big and has a brother in the pros does not mean he's HR threat every AB.

I went to bed in the 11th because it looked like a potential SHSU-TCU rerun. Not much offense so far in this CWS. Doesn't look like anybody is a HR threat.

Bottom of the 8th

Ole Miss 1
Texas Tech 0

#CWS

If Tech could hit just a little bit, they would be great. Their pitching has been outstanding this postseason.

And ranked like 3rd or 4th in the country this year in fielding %. Young team though. Tadlock has a bright future with this team IMO. Adding Mahomes to his staff next year won't hurt.

Texas leads UC Irvine 1-0 in the 7th

[baddog]

6 outs from eliminating Irvine.

Hook 'Em!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

No lead is safe this close

[baddog]

No lead is safe this close

I know, but hopefully eliminating the team that put us in the loser's bracket will give a confidence boost.

Man on 1st with no outs. Let's get a DP. Probably bunt though.

[baddog]

3 outs away.

[PhatMack19]

Texas hit the first bomb of the tourney. Lead 1-0 in the 9th

Hollingsworth with a 3 hitter through 8

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

This is for the season right here.

[baddog]

2 outs away....changing pitchers.

[PhatMack19]

Hollingsworth went 8.1

[baddog]

Closer has a .32 era.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

1 more strike

[baddog]

Texas advances to play Vandy.

Hook 'Em!

[PhatMack19]

Texas wins!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Horns win!

[PhatMack19]

Bridge City hit Hollingsworth harder than the Ant Eaters

[Peppermint Patty]

Hinojosa proving once again that it's not the arrow, it's the Indian. If you barrel a ball up in any park, with any bat, it WILL travel. The best comment made last night was by the NCAA rep when he said that these are the top pitching teams in the country. If you can pitch and play defense, you can win at any level.   

 

Now the hard part-Just have to beat Vandy twice. 

[Peppermint Patty]

Teams win with pitching and defense. Listed below are the Final 5 teams at the CWS.

 

NCAA Rankings as of June 10th for the Top 50 Teams:

 

Team ERA

 

TCU   2.19 (1)

Va      2.31 (5)

UT      2.32 (6)

Miss   2.72 (16)

Vandy  2.72 (19)

 

 

Team Fielding %

 

Va        .982  (3)

TCU      .978  (11)

UT        .975  (26)

Vandy   .975  (33)

Miss was not in the Top 50

 

Team BA

 

Only team in the Top 50 was Miss at .303 (14). They had to out hit their mistakes in the field.

 

 

People can complain all they want about the lack of HR's and offense, but the good teams pitch and play defense.

My 2 favorite teams are still in! Would loveeee it if Texas and Ole Miss played for the championship!!!
