Been taking a much needed break from the computer lately to focus on some reading, new home furniture, a friend from Georgia, and many hours relaxing on the couch because of the amount of work I have been doing outside. Well, first off I would like to add that college baseball got what they wanted for the start of tonight's best of 3 championship series between two of the game's biggest powerhouses. LSU (5 NCAA titles) and Texas (6 NCAA titles) do battle in Omaha for bragging rights for the nation's best team. Surprisingly these two standout programs have only faced each other in the CWS twice before tonight.
The overall #1 seeded Longhorns have gotten here the right way. Great defense, being patient at the plate, a little small ball with timely hits, and late inning drama. 8-1 throughout the tournament, Texas is living up to the one seed something I never saw coming. They will be starting their ace tonight with Chance Ruffin (10-2) and if he continues his strong pitching expect game 1 to go to the Longhorns.
The overall #3 seeded Tigers have gotten here by just being flat out good! I read from ESPN.com that since May 21, the Tigers own a 13-game win streak and have outscored their opponents by a 110-41 margin. They have ace Louis Coleman (14-2) on the mound tonight and if he gets an early lead it could be lights out in game 1. If you have watched the CWS at all, the Tigers aren't going to surprise you at all with what they do. Playing defense and scoring runs, it's that simple!
LSU takes Game 1 7-2
