That was just surgical, what a fundamental dismantling of Mississippi State. Great pitching, small ball, speed, air-tight defense. Phenomenal show by UCLA.
I loved seeing UCLA play actual baseball against Miss St. Those SEC kids are used to barely clearing the fence in undersized ballparks and almost never make adjustments against west coast teams.
I was in the stands that night when UCLA won and other then one little section behind home plate the entire stadium was filled with Bulldog fans, and when the final out was made the only thing that was loud was the fireworks
In 2010 someone did get hurt in the dogpile after the super regional win. UCLA's second baseman broke his wrist and wasn't able to play in the CWS. Lost in the finals to S.Carolina...who knows what might have happened had he been able to play.
I don't follow College Baseball but holy fuck those baseballs just die after they leave the bat, if they were hitting too many in the past might as well make them start using wooden bats in college. 6:49 that should of been a HR.
Robert M Good maple wood bats are better and have more pop than the newer BBCOR bats. The old BESR bats on the other hand were ridiculous. you could flick your wrists against a pitcher who threw hard and hit one hard. back then they hit 20+ homeruns in a 60 game season. crazy
