Days 3 and 4 in Omaha

Still trying to get over the fact that we will not be seeing Cal State Fullerton the rest of the College World Series. But that is Baseball! The last two days in Omaha have been very lethargic to say the least, until the night cap last night. Virginia and LSU dominated Cal State and Arkansas Day 3, and North Carolina took care of business quite early against Southern Miss during the afternoon of Day 4. Then comes the reason why college baseball is so great. I was at the bar with my buddies, watching the Red Sox, Yankees, and the CWS. Arizona State was just taking it to Texas from the get-go and then before I could blink the score went from 6-0 to 6-3. Then to make matters worse for SunDevil fans the game that they hand in the palm of their hand went sour and the Longhorns absolutely took care of business the rest of the way and now the #1 overall seed is in the drivers seat sitting in the semi-finals awaiting their opponent. Just when you think you have a game won, student-athletes come together, put together some hits with pitchers throwing strikes and now you go from being a win away from the championship to fighting for you tournament life the rest of the way. I really am not at all putting blame on Arizona State, just it looked to me that Texas wanted the game more.

So to recap: Cal State Fullerton, Southern Miss are eliminated

LSU and Texas are in the semi-finals with no losses

Tonight we have a very intriguing match up between Virginia and Arkansas in an elimination match. Both teams were the hottest teams entering the tournament and playing in the tournament before the trip to Omaha. Expect nothing less than just good baseball from these top programs. Should be fun as usual!
