[WBT 20,653]

Virginia ties it on a bases loaded 4-6-3.

Oops, ruled safe at 1st because the 1B trapped it against his leg on the bounce.  Runners at the corners and 1 out now.

Nebraska just ran out of arms, especially after having to come back and play one more game than Arkansas.  We needed a one day rain delay so our shortstop could pitch in the middle innings.  The Cornhuskers competed hard and overachieved this year (picked to be sixth in conference) but winning two out of three from #1 just wasn't in the cards.

Arkansas, on the other hand, didn't really hit worth shit during the whole regional.  Walks and wild pitches manufactured probably half or more of their runs.  It doesn't bode well for them going forward unless they wake up.

Was really impressed by Will Bolt, both on and off the field.  Has done a great job and comes across as a total class act.

[RC Horn 138]

ODU takes lead 3-2 at top of 8th. Go Monarchs!

3-2 Monarchs, mid-8rh.

[Droopy 2,626]

Bottom 8, ODU 3 - Virginia 2

[WBT 20,653]

RBI single but trail runner gunned down at the plate by 20 feet.  3-2 ODU going to B8.

Not the best launch angle for that baserunner (2nd vid, :18 )

Waddayumean?  He stuck the landing …

[zlavydra 2,123]

Strong AB by UVA 2B, sporting a .675 OPS and having made the potential game-losing error.

[Beau Vine 54,381]

I like that ODU chose to wear these ugly mismatched jerseys to very publicly shame their AD for not funding them better.  

[zlavydra 2,123]

Two in a row to the backstop. Tie game.

A few years back, they went all in on football.  Have to believe they shorted the budgets of the other sports on the large capital improvement for their football stadium.

[Droopy 2,626]

Kenny Powers with control issues

 

[msudawg 371]

anddd he hit him. 2 outs. get him in. 

[Droopy 2,626]

This new trend of constantly picking up the front foot by the pitchers is bullshit and a balk. WTF?

[msudawg 371]

damnit. sliced it for a soft flyout to lf. hold em and go to extras.

Wow, strikeout that would have ended the B9 kicks away and batter reaches and winning run advances to 2nd.

[Steamboat1874 4,082]

Are you from the future?

[TrashMaster G 17,589]

ODU pitcher in the pen was watching the ball sail and spiked the ball in his hand in disgust.

[WBT 20,653]

Virginia walks it off.  They advance to a series with DBU in lovely Columbia, SC.

[Valmy77 13,270]

I bet ESPN is happy they get a UVA-DBU matchup instead.

[Texas Wahoo 3,403]

I guess they needed to make a decision earlier, but it would seem to make more sense to have UVA host the super regional instead of doing it in South Carolina in front of a half-empty crowd.

[clapclapclap 9,000]

NCAA screwed DBU?  Higher seed than UVA, shouldn't they have the option of hosting in Fort Worth instead of Columbia?

It's not a balk unless they're stepping over the balk line.

Only the Regional sites were options.  The NCAA announced this over a month ago.

Everyone would die of rona.  And half empty seems optimistic.

Maybe they shouldn't act like the SEC is the best at everything and the only conference that matters all the time if they don't want to torpedo their own ratings when reality hits.

DBU beat the higher seed, so it should have been their decision (Fort Worth)
