What a way to come back and lock Tenn's offense down.
This Irish team is pretty good and they played baseball. Tenn. is also very good....but it is baseball.
teams rarely win 100 games in a 162 game schedule.

I agree that baseball is one of the sports that don't follow form as much as others, but that is why it's played as a series and not a single game. The better team should win a series more often than not. This is college ball, played by kids just becoming young adults. Lower seeds win their share. This was the number one overall seed getting beat before making it to the WS. It has happened quite a bit lately, You can not deny, though, that it is still an upset when it happens.

Nice win though.

ND baseball was under-rated.

the guile of Whitey Ford. His control was perfect and his ability to keep those big swingers off balance was truly impressive.
I have only seen him throw a couple of times. Very, very impressive.
was a masterpiece of pitching. Low and away, he owned them

a headline. There is absolutely nothing more beautiful in baseball to play within your capabilities and beat a team that is way physically better. That game reminded me of Villanova beating Georgetown in basketball when it seemed impossilbe.
