Guy who hit the slam should've been ejected. TV showed him spitting tobacco juice in the dugout after the HR. Chewing during a game is an automatic ejection under NCAA rules.

spitting is part of Baseball. Reggie Jackson started that crap.

Spitting or chewing tobacco is against NCAA rules. It's not a judgment call, it's an automatic ejection.

Sunflower seeds, gum are OK. But tobacco products are banned. As someone who's seen what oral and throat cancer can do, I can tell you there's a reason for that rule when players are too young and stupid to make a mature decision.

Mazey did an absolute terrible job at managing his pitchers today. Left both in way too long.

I agree. But 5 errors don't help any.

Trying to look on the positive side, even if they get that last guy out instead of the grand slam it was going to be very hard to beat Duke twice after a game like that anyway, especially with your closer having just thrown so many pitches.

For those who follow the team, was this WVUs one shot for the foreseeable future to make the College WS or do they have a lot coming back next year and may compete again? I think the big pitcher is a junior and thus likely gone but I don't know about the rest.

Being a WVU fan is a curse. They fill you full of love then break your heart with the affair of being something.

The only thing I would criticize him about would be deciding to pitch around A&M's best player to get to the guy who hit the grand slam. Up by 3 runs, if the player hits a bomb so be it. But to put the winning run at the plate, that's a cardinal rule of baseball that you cannot do.
