Texas is beating TCU 5-0 so it looks like, but not over yet, Texas will advance to Omaha. Here are the brakets

Semi-final Group ‘B’ Double Elimination

Arkansas v Cal St Fullerton (2)
Champion ship (Best of 3)
Group ‘A’ Double Elimination winner v Group ‘B’ Double Elimination winner
Seeded teams eliminated
UC Irvin (6)
Oklahoma (7)
Florida (8)
Brief exclamation on how the semifinals work. In the four team groups, the winner of game 1 plays the winner of game 2; and the losers of game 1 plays the loser game 2 play in elimination game 1 (loser is eliminated).
After which, the winner of the elimination game plays the loser of the “winner’s game “for elimination game 2. Then the winner of elimination game 2 must play a rested winner of the winner’s game and must win back to back games in order to advance to the finals (total of three games in a row). So it is really advantageous to win. ;) The winners of the double elimination round face each other in a best of three series.
Hook’em !!!!
Dustin Ackley who plays for UNC, is penciled in as the #2 pick by Seattle (in tomorrow’s baseball draft) and he’s the guy not named Strasburg who’s lighting up the series.
I hope this is the year UNC finally wins it.
Well, I’m a long-suffering Mariners’ fan so I have my bias, but yes, UNC looks solid, especially their ace pitcher, Warren.
Ya know, I’m a huge baseball fan, but I never folloq the draft. I think it’s because TV doesn’t follow college baseball with the fervor it follows college football.
Bottom of the 7th ... still 5-0. HOOK ‘EM!!!
TCU got back into the game but a little too late.
Go Heels!!
South Carolina vs Florida 6/16 in about 10 minutes!
