Kinda' tough to root for a UCLA team that was trailing 4-1 and loaded the bases with no outs only to have the next three batters strike out. FSU's Sitz was nasty to those three. Go take a seat. Same with you. Adios, they saved a spot!
FSU earned it...UCLA didn't.

At the OMA airport, heading home. All I can say is that if you haven't been out here, you need to make the trip. I felt like I was in heaven my entire time out here. Nice people and some great baseball.
Add Amato's to the list of "must visit" restaurants. Their breakfast is phenominal. I had the Ricotta and blueberry pancakes.
It was great seeing all of our EvoShield Canes kids play out here.

There are 4 very high...VERY HIGH...quality teams left and a Cinderella. Would love to see Cinderella win it all...but of the other 4 who are more likely, it is very hard to predict who will get this thing done.

I thought Sitz from FSU was just terrific.
Seems like he threw his slider more than 1/2 the time and nearly every pitch to strike out the side with the bases loaded in the 6th.
FSU pitching threw hard breaking balls/sliders all 9 innings and UCLA hitters didn't seem to adjust. From the time they loaded the bases through the last out of the game, UCLA didn't have very good AB's, in my view.
FSU is playing well.
The game with UofA should be terrific, again. Not sure I like it but the way the CWS works allows UA to come back with Hoyer, again, on more than adequate rest. Of course the downside to using Hoyer tomorrow is the impact, if UA gets to the Championship round, on his ability to come back and start and be effective in one of those games.

Kent State surely has a TOUGH TOUGH road ahead to beat SC and ARK twice to get to the finals....but CRAZIER things have happened in this tournament! Gotta love the Cinderella story, and we are rooting hard for our home town boys here in Ohio...GO KENT!!! BTW, the young man who lost his mom was our son's HS catcher. He had one heck of a game against Florida and we were all so happy for him. My understanding is after flying home for the funeral, he will head back to Omaha today. Jason is a wonderful young man and our hearts and prayers go out to him and his family!

Thanks for the insight Southmaw. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed iuf Kent State won it all. They're easy to root for!
And welcome to the HSBBW!

Good news and bad news for the Golden Flashes.
Good News: Gamecocks are starting LHP Jordan Montgomery, a true freshman, in his first CWS appearance, on National TV, in front of a huge crowd, in an elimination game. He has had his ups and downs in SEC play this season but has fared well and has earned Tanners confidence but that's a ton of pressure on a young arm.
Bad News: Tanner said he will bring Roth in if he needs to. (I'm sure that's what Arkansas is hoping for)

Tanner is now starting senior Michael Roth today instead of Montgomery. May be good news for Arkansas.
Michael Roth starting today might be good news for Arkansas, but unfortunately not such good news for Kent! RJM...nice article! They showed an interview with that young man last night during the rain delay...what an inspiring story!
Yep, michael roth did what he does... win games
lots of baseball in Omaha today

Congrats on Kent State making it to the CWS and having a great showing. They are a tough never give up type. I first saw them in an early season tournament here in SC vs Winthrop and GA Tech and I knew they would go far this season.

I agree with you WinBuc44.

I didn't realize FSU and AZ was on. How did AZ score six in the first? And how did they load the bases in the second? Wow!

Must be that, you know, tailor-made ball club that Andy Lopez built JUST for this series and THIS ballpark...but otherwise isn't as good as they look.

South Carolina vs FSU would be a great series for the championship.
