Mississippi State had quite a regional run . . .
Beaten by OU 20-10 in 1st game.
Down 2-0 with 2 outs in the 9th, beat FSU with a walk-off 3 run home run on FSU home field.
Beats Sanford to go on and beat OU twice by big margins to win the regional. Wow.If you take the high road, you won't find much traffic there . . .Comment

I didn't realize they were only 1 out away from being 2 and Q and still advanced! -
MSU was down to their last strike, even. It was a 1-2 count. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBZJkMm-bw4

In the Gainesville Super Regional, Florida beat Auburn with a couple of interesting things. With the game tied 1-1 with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd, Florida got a run on a unique double steal.
The runner from 1st took off for second and fell down. While the pitcher was looking for a fielder to throw to for the easy out, the runner on third stole home.
The game later went into extra innings. Florida won on a walkoff homer that bounced off the right fielder's glove.
Scroll down to the second video to see why the pitcher hesitated. The third video shows the right fielder assisting the ball over the fence.

That makes 2 of those bounce out of the outgfielder's glove over the fence home runs I have seen this year. The Shocker softball team got one againgst UCF.
The video of the play and replays in the actual game video is better. This was 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th to pull the Shocks within 7-8. 2 Batters later another 2-run homer won the game for the Shockers.
That ended the 1st game of a DH. In the 2nd game the Shockers hit another 2-run walk-off home run to sweep the DH.

Arkansas was 1 strike away from a national championship in the top of the 9th in Game 2 of the best of 3 finals tonight.
Arkansas had a 3-2 lead after 8 innings and their closer was on the mound for his 2nd inning of work. A lead off walk followed by a sac bunt and a ground out to 1st put an Oregon State runner on 3rd. The game almost came to an end on a foul pop up down the right field line that fell in between 3 players. It would have been tough play but but it was a catchable ball. With new life the Oregon State hitter singled sharply to tie the game. That was followed by a 2-run home run and Oregon State had a 5-3 lead. Arkansas failed to score in the 9th to force a 3rd and deciding game.

That was a very exciting game. Oregon State tried a mysterious squeeze play with no outs in the middle innings that was poorly executed by the hitter and the base runners and led to a double play and possibly tying the game or even taking the lead. The OSU kids kept battling, though.
The pitching was good by both sides and both teams have some talented players. The fun atmosphere of the CWS was fully evident on TV. I hope tonight's game is as good.
Commentary: the pace of college baseball games is terrible. 5-3 nine inning game took closer to four hours to play. Ugh!
I miss the trips to Omaha. -
I did not tune in until the Top of the 8th but I did hear the announcers talking about the botched OSU squeeze play.
Hopefully, this doesn't turn into 1988 for the Razorbacks.
As far as the pace of the games. I agree 100%. It's something that needs to be addressed.

Oregon State wins the deciding game 5-0 over Arkansas to pick up their 3rd CWS Championship since 2006. OSU Freshman Kevin Abel, after pitching 1 inning last night came back tonight with a 129 pitch, 9 inning complete game 2-hitter. Did not see tonight's game but saw him last night. This young man can pitch. Decent velocity and great movement. An outstanding curve ball and changeup. OSU's sophomore catcher was the CWS MOP with 17 hits and and a .567 batting average.
Abel looks like a 1st round draft pick already. Hopefully, OSU doesn't abuse this kid too much over the next couple of years.Comment

I was really torn on what team to root for, don't really like Arkansas because of the way Shocker fans were treated there at the regional in 2004 but Oregon State lets a convicted child molester on roster?An “Old West” Texas analysis and summary of Mueller report and Congress’ efforts in one sentence:
"While we recognize that the subject did not actually steal any horses, he is obviously guilty of trying to resist being hanged for it."Comment

It was a no-brainer for me. I was glad to see Arkansas and their hick fan base get skunked. Smoked bacon is good.Comment
