NCAA Baseball Tournament

Another nice showing by the Devils. It's nice that they can write their own ticket to the dance.

San Diego is one national seed out of the way; The more the better...

Wichita State scores a run in the bottom of the 9th to win 4-3. They play tomorrow with the winner advancing to the Super Regional. Cats are going to have to go with Colla as the starter. For them to win, they will need to score a lot of runs.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

ASU advances to the Super Regional!

 

[HooverDam]

ASU advances to the Super Regional!

Which they will also be hosting, correct?

True. Mississippi will be the opponent. I think this is the first time ASU has ever hosted a Super Regional, too.

 

[Lefty]

Cats lose 3-0 and are eliminated. It was a good year for them and they return most of the team, including Guilmet. Next year expectations will be much higher.

By the way, so far 5 of the 8 #1 seeds have been eliminated.

Baseball Walks Off With 4-3 Game One Victory

Brett Wallace's game-winning single completes three-run ninth inning comeback
June 9, 2007

Box Score | Quotes

TEMPE, Ariz. - Mississippi starter Will Kline kept the Arizona State hitters off balance for eight strong innings of Game One of the Tempe Super Regional. Fortunately for Sun Devil fans, Kline was not as sharp in the ninth, as ASU scored three times in the ninth to claim a 4-3 walk-off victory in front of 4,247 fans at Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark. The win puts ASU at 47-13 on the season.
The Rebels jumped on top in the third, as a single to center field off starter Mike Leake made it 1-0. They would add two more on a single to center in the seventh to put Ole Miss up 3-0. Eric Sogard put ASU on the board in the eighth, homering to right field in to make it 3-1. It was his 11th homer of the season. Kline came out for the ninth hoping to sew up the Rebels game one win. Ike Davis led the inning off with a single to center, then was replaced by pinch runner Rocky Laguna. Matt Spencer then singled to first, advancing Laguna to second. Mike Jones came in to run for Spencer. Tim Smith singled to center, loading the bases for CJ Retherford. After Ryan Sontag came in to run for Smith, Retherford grounded out to third, but Laguna came home to cut it to 3-2 with one away. Jason Jarvis then pinch hit for Andrew Romine and lofted a sac fly to right that scored Jones and tied it up at three. That set up Pac-10 Player of the Year Brett Wallace, who came into the at-bat 0-4 on the night. He sent a soft liner to center field that scored Sontag, giving the Devils a walk-off 4-3 victory.

Mike Leake started for ASU and allowed 13 hits and three runs over seven innings of work. Brian Flores came on in the eighth, his first relief appearance of the season, and did not allow a hit over the final two innings. He fanned four of the seven batters he faced to pick up the victory and improve to 11-1 on the year.

Eric Sogard was 2-3 with an RBI, while Kiel Roling, Matt Spencer and CJ Retherford also turned in two hit nights. The Devils will now try and end the series tomorrow in Game Two. Sunday's game begins at 4 p.m. from Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark. ESPN2 will televise the game.

I tried unsuccessfully to find the game on radio last night, so I'll be watching this afternoon. Go Sun Devils!

^I hope you mean in person, because I doubt the game will be on tv. Im sure ESPN will choose to show the Carolina game instead of the ASU game.

It's supposed to be on ESPN2. It's been listed in the newspaper for 5 days as an ESPN2 game.

 

[Nasser22]

Wait, what happened to our starter last game? I think it was Flores or it was the other righty, but it said he only pitched 2 innings with no hits allowed...?

 

[TheKid_1]

Flores came in to close the game out, the starter was Leake.

Well the Dbacks won, and I flip over to ESPN2 to see ASU up 6-0, awesome!

If they hang on to win, I may get tickets for my Dad and I to go to Omaha for Fathers Day, anyone ever been? Got any hotel or general Omaha tips?

Here's a good tip...Hope ASU plays all the way to the finals because there is nothing else to do in Omaha! haha but serisously, I went like five years ago and it was alot of fun. We stayed at the same hotel as ASU did that year. I cann't remember the name of it but was pretty nice and reasonable.

 

[Nasser22]

We won, 7-0 and North Carolina was upset by their neighbors to the south. Hip hip hooray! The team's headin' to Omaha!

 

[Nasser22]

Wow, I screwed that up pretty good. I hear NC actually won and I guess it was 7-1 for us? #-o

Good to see ASU in the CWS. Louisville made it for the first time ever and everyone is on the baseball bandwagon now. They have some true basketball fans but a lot of bandwagoning football and now baseball fans lol. Either way, should be a good CWS. A little bit different look with some different teams in there.

The good UoL supporters should all send thank you checks to NAU...

Good luck to ASU, we have been so bad in baseball that it is difficult to believe that USC holds the record for more National Championships in baseball (12), no other school has more than 6......11 of those championships were while Rod Dedeaux (1942-86) was HC. Congratulations ASU, baseball is fun to watch.

 

[Dback Jon]

North Carolina and Rice win opening games.

ASU plays starting at 11

 

[Dback Jon]

Rutherford blasts one over the fence to tie the game at 4 in the 5th
