People sometimes don’t remember that TD Ameritrade or Charles Schwab whatever they are calling it these days plays very differently than your average college ballpark.

Teams that mash the ball all season long can come up empty when they get here. Teams with strong pitching, defense and the ability to manufacture small ball runs are now playing on a field that suits them better.

Frogs up 5-2 now in the 9th but ORU gets the first two aboard.

EDIT: one run scores and then a 3-run bomb to give ORU the lead.

Karl Ravich must have dinner plans. He declared it a walk-off homer even though it’s the top of the 9th!

That had to be one of the most surreal moments in sports I've seen in a while, as 90-year old Bob Koontz rattles off the list of his teammates from the 1955 national championship Wake Forest team that are now dead, in the middle of a home run.

Certainly different than the gorilla ball era at Rosenblatt. Does LSU still bring the armada of RV's or not so much now?

That interview was hard to listen to. That dude was worse than our president speaking. He is 90, so might not the best choice from ESPN to do a live interview. I kept anxiously awaiting the women asking him the questions to just awkwardly cut off the interview and throw it back to the booth.

Why do these outfielders wear the shades on the hat and not on the face? Especially when the sun is setting right in their eyes, and they lose the ball in the sun? :cool:

You don’t see balks overturned by video replay very often.
In this case it was correct, pretty easy to see he stepped off before he threw to 3rd .that’s why we have replay to get it right. Especially when it’s really obvious which this was.
