can we stick a softball picture on this thread? It’s been working for the baseball team the past few weeks.

An elimination game with the winner to face Pepperdine.

Tied 3-3 going into the bottom of the 8th, Davis get a run to put them ahead. Considering the Aggies swept the Cardinal in the regular season and beat them in the regional opener, Stanford seemed destined to give up and start packing their bags, right? Nope. Stanford struck for 5 in the top of the 9th and beat the Aggies 8-4.

Stanford and Pepperdine will play tonight with a Pepperdine win sending them to Supers and a Stanford win forcing a deciding game tomorrow. The winner of this regional will play the winner of the Fullerton regional.

Other west coast teams still alive:

UC Irvine has a 2-0 lead in the 3rd over Oral Roberts. The Anteaters are 2-0 in their regional so Oral Roberts has to win twice to advance.

Arizona leads Kentucky 2-0 in the 4th. Arizona is also 2-0 and needs to win only 1 of 2 to advance.

Fresno St. and San Diego are the two remaining teams in the Long Beach regional. Fresno is the 2-0 team there.

Arizona St. will face Oklahoma tonight as the 2-0 team.

in the 3rd inning. Virginia has already pulled their starter and gone to Matt Packer. Packer was probably going to get the start tonight if they advanced so the Virginia staff is thin now. More reason to root for the Cavs.

can you possibly explain the runner’s interference call on UVA in the 6th? Because I can’t believe that call was made.

For those of you who didn’t see it, UVA had the bases loaded, 0 out in the bottom of the 6th. The batter hit a grounder to 1st, and the 1st baseman threw to second for the force. No further play was possible, so it appeared as though the score was 4-1, with UVA runners on the corners with one out.
However, the umpire ruled that the runner going into second had made an illegal slide by raising his elbow to prevent the double play from occuring. By rule, the batter is also out, and all runners have to return to their bases. So now, it was still 4-0, with runners on 2nd and 3rd with two out.
The only problem was that the UVA runner made a perfectly legal slide. He did absolutely nothing wrong…so basically the 2nd base umpire cost UVA at least 1 run, and probably more, as the next hitter made out and the inning ended.

I would’ve much rather played UVA than Fullerton, so I was extremely disappointed when that call was made. The ump may have made our road to Omaha much more difficult.

That being said, we beat CSUF last night and we can do it again. GO BRUINS

anywhere in so-cal…you’d think with all the softball coverage on WWL that one of the FSNs would at least pick up some good local baseball..too bad.

Rankin starting for CSUF – Bruins hitting at the top of the 1st tonight

error on CSUF.

Curtis stranded on 2nd. Gavin Brooks will be pitching at the bottom of the inning

a throwing error on an attempted pick-off play set up an RBI single.

I’ve followed more sports via the internet this month, than maybe ever. Thanks for all the updates guys.

Not good.

Fell apart there.

keep it alive

from what seems like a generally sloppy effort, but yea who goes tomorrow on the mound?

just over 4 hours. Come on guys, I have bar exam review class in a few hours. jeez.

I hate to be wet blanket, but give credit where credit is due to Bruin athletes. Nestor, you do an extraordinarily fabulous job with everything there and I have the utmost respect for your loyalties! But I just wanted to point out that the both the hard-working Bruin men and women tracksters are still gearing up for the NCAA championships with high hopes.

I realize that track fanatics are a special breed (I count myself among them) and it’s certainly not for everyone, but they do work has hard as any Bruin athlete and have contributed to dozens of our 103 NCAA titles. So when you say of our heroic, clutch baseballers On to Bru-104. And we have one more shot left for the 2007-08 season., I’m a bit disappointed. Let’s also acknowledge our Bruin Tracksters, who had some valiant efforts this past weekend at the West Regionals to qualify a couple dozen athletes for the NCAA championship meet in 10 days. The men are ranked #3 in the nation and the women are #7. Both are darkhorses for the title, but then again so was our men’s Golf team..
