Beavers beat Anteaters, on to the Finals!

The Beavers took the exact opposite path from what they did last year. 3 win, 0 losses on their way to the Championship Series. Last year they played the maximum number of games to win the National Championship. This year they have an opportunity to win it in the shortest number of games. How sweet would that be. How sweet would back-to-back titles be?!

Early comments on the game.

* Could the ESPN guys (Orel and Mike) talk any more about the Anteaters? It was like the Beavs weren't even on the field for the first 6 innings.

* I think Mike Patrick has player name-dyslexia. He constantly call the player who just made a play the name from the guy on the other team playing the same position. It was uncanny. Every game.

* Orel's son should reconsider his USC commitment and come to OSU!

* I had a feeling Mitch Canham would be a hero today. He was due.

* Daniel Turpen settled down after a couple of innings and and just was lights out all game. His slider was nasty tonight and the fastball was popping.


Rice or UNC next. Both teams who have a chip on their shoulder from last season. Who cares! Lets beat 'em!

Go Beavers!

Nobody is playing hotter than the Beavers right now, nobody is executing like they are, and nobody's trio of starters looks more dominant. They have completely shut down offenses starting with the Super Regionals, and on offense are actually peaking with everyone contributing.

Wow. It seems foolish to say given the talent on either team in the other bracket, but the Beavers are executing and being managed too well to lose right now. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see them sweep. They're playing on another level this month.

I hope you're right. The pitching needs to be dominant, no mistakes on defense, and we need to continue our timely hitting.

We can do this!
