That stadium is awesome if you haven’t seen it. Should be a great host site.
Watching the regionals is a ton of fun. I am watching the Uconn vs Wake game (wondering if Ekerholm is too - * just realized he is GT!! HA!) and the kid at-bat is from the town over (Korey Morton). There were talking about his speed (blazing fast) and his Dad (1st round pick by RedSox, LHP), and then ESPN breaks in for HR in the Hofstra game by a kid from another town over. Love it. I am still pulling for TN, UConn (home state), and Columbia (up 6-2).

Central Arizona ended up winning it. Not to take anything away from the other teams but I felt like us and them were the two best teams. NJCAA needs to fix the bracket. No reason for us to match up twice in 3 games. Plus the bracket is a mess to begin with.
In NCAA Regional news…… It was a big night, on a big stage, for a certain long haired mustache sporting LHP son of @PitchingFan. Congratulations to both of you!
Thank you AdBono. He did good. Tough situation to come into but made the most of it and got the win.

Pitched great. I watched that one off and on and it seemed like the zone was the size a coffee can.

The “Oly Chit!” play of the day …
9th inning. Georgia has the game typing home run! No, no, no, no, no!

The pitching coaches in the Stillwater regional are updating their resumes after this weekend. Sheesh. For such good staffs it has been such ugly baseball.
Were they playing lacrosse in Stillwater? It’s what the scores indicate.

I've seen some of the most impressive HR's of my life this weekend. Two line drives that were never more than 20 feet or so in the air. One over the top of the batters eye that is a good 50-60 feet in the air to dead center. McLean hit the longest HR I've ever seen and Wallace matched him later. There is no way the baseball in this region and probably all over the country isn't juiced up for the tournament.
The home run Turner hit last night looked like it was fired from a missile launcher. The only issue was it elevated enough.
Horrible look for Tennessee hitter. You will NEVER convince me that that is acceptable behavior. NEVER! If you are that good, act like you belong there and not like a jackass!

Yeah, hate to be the boomer, but that should result in a suspension. No way that should be allowed
Im looking forward to the Oklahoma State-Arkansas game. I’ll throw some gasoline in the fireplace, sit back and enjoy the game.

UCLA coach John Savage said the number of homers are due to the number of 23 and 24yo men in college baseball. He said it’s due to extended Covid eligibility and the shortened draft. He said there’s a lot of “man” power in college baseball this year.
The Regionals have been more entertaining this year than ever. Eleven of them are having the “if necessary” game 7 today. That’s unheard of. I was at the College Station Regional and a number of games were insane but none more than the 5 hour long final last night. Arkansas vs OSU is must see TV this evening. But so is Texas State vs Stanford late tonight. Post season college baseball is fun!
I was watching the girls CWS this afternoon.....false eyelashes and diamond (look-alike) earrings! Girls gotta do what girls gotta do!
Back to the men's games......
Time for wood bats. Tv and MLB will pay the cost. John Savage is one of 1st Goodwill Series players. He is correct on the maturity.
many years ago, At MSU, we played with and against Korea War vets. GI bill. = full ride.
