Dallas Baptist tries to pick off a UVA runner and the first baseman accidentally steps on the runner's hand as he slides back in. The UVA player is in serious pain, and in the lengthy injury delay, they realize that the stepped on hand never actually made it back to the bag and initiate a replay. Then they decide the hand stepping was obstruction and send the runner to second.

Game to go between ND and MSST tomorrow night.
AZ looks like they're on the verge of running Miss out of the stadium in their game to go tonight. It's currently 6 - 1 in the bottom of the 4th, 2nd and 3rd with one out.

Tough loss for the Hogs, sucks their bats let them down. Good for NCSt though, going into Fayetteville and shaking off that 21-2 beating in game 1.

Texas wins 12-4 to sweep UCF and go back to its natural home, Omaha. The 37th time they’re going to the College World Series, by far the most ever.

Hook ‘em.

I still hate that they started him. That after all the work and preparation throughout the year they still felt they had no other choice, man that sucks for the #1 team in the country. It worked out I suppose, he pitched a hell of a game, but it just screamed desperation from the start and maybe that got into the heads of the batters too. Who knows.

I didn't mind that they started him. I was pissed he was out there to start the 9th. My Mom, who doesn't really like baseball and only watched this because it was the Razorbacks, sent me a text wondering why Kopps was out there to start the inning.

Also why didn't they bring him in during game 2 during the third inning then? Take the lead, bring in Kopps to close it out. Makes no sense.

Virginia wins game 3 vs Dallas Baptist. Only one more Super game left - Mississippi State vs Notre Dame at 7 pm on ESPN2. Should be a fun game.

The Terry Francona hitting center has paid off for the wildcats. 1st 3 batters reach. Will Kumar get Rocked?

edit:
2-0 Cats already

Watching the UT-UT game on Ump Cam, since I don't get ESPNU. Bad ball strike calls feel even worse when you're literally watching it from the umpire's perspective.

Texas gets the win 8-4, eliminating Tennessee. A bit more optimistic now but still struggling to see how we beat Mississippi State if we both get that far.

Total meltdown from UVA. Walk and home run allowed by McGarry, and then the bullpen and defense conspire to give up another three-run homer. 5-4 Bulldogs in the 8th.

Weather is going to be a problem the next few days. Texas-Virginia in a delay and it looks like it’ll be a lengthy one. If they can’t play, they play at 9 am tomorrow. But the weather tomorrow looks rough, too.

Texas eliminated Virginia 6-2 in a very late-ending game. They now face Mississippi State at 7 pm tonight and must win two straight to reach the finals.

On the other side of the bracket, Vanderbilt plays NC State at 2 pm today and Vandy has the same thing - must win two straight to reach the finals.

Have to say I'm really unimpressed with the game administration from these umpires. Ball down the line from NC State is called foul. NC State points out that the ball left a mark on the chalk, so they change it to a double. Then Vandy's coach comes out and complains, and they change it back. Batter strikes out on the next pitch.

I love this quote from the NC State coach

I hope everybody has used it as I have, for rest,” Avent said Thursday. “They were instructed. But these are young guys who are starstruck with this city and this pageantry that goes along with Omaha.
Anyone know if they will clear Health and Safety for Saturday's game?

NC State with a chance. Rocker out after 6. State puts 1st two on in the 7th and then misses a bunt and gets picked off 2nd. They are giving a great effort being so short handed.
