One of the best games I've seen in a long time took place last night in Game 1 of the College World Series finals. South Carolina scored a run in the 8th to tie it and then a run in the 11th to defeat Florida 2-1. The game had just about everything a low scoring game should have.
The pitching was great, the defense incredible and the pressure was palpable.
Florida had a bases loaded nobody out situation in the bottom of the 9th but the Gamecocks wiggled out of the jam. In the 10th, the South Carolina left fielder threw out a man at home plate trying to score.
I'm looking forward to Game 2 tonight. If South Cackalacky wins tonight it will be their second consecutive College World Series title. Since last night's game was so good, I'm hoping for another great game tonight. While I was pulling for the Gamecocks last evening I think I'll root for the Gators tonight just so there will be a third and decisive game.
As for the new college World Series stadium in Omaha, I like it. It looks great on TV. While Rosenblatt Stadium served it's purpose very well for many years, it was time to upgrade. TD Ameritrade Park is absolutely beautiful and added to the atmosphere of last night's dramatic game.
