Great thread with great questions and responses. I think I saw a regional a year or so ago where Marietta, Wooster, and Heidelberg were all ranked in the top 20 and all found themselves in the same regional
Some of the best baseball anywhere is at D3 regionals and the CWS in Wisconsin. Everything JH says is true and more. I "watched" JH's game on live stats last year and almost punched out my computer screen when his teasm lost a heartbreaker in extra innings. JH pitched like an All-american in that game and may have set himself up for next level opportunities from that performance alone imho. When the games get to Appleton, many of them are on free video. Outstanding baseball and passion on display. Lasst year, my friend Smokey's son from Chicago won the national championship. It was a very emotional experience for all involved and there is nothing quite like it.
