Gators silence Wake's bats and take game 3 3-0. The SEC places three in the CWS!

No real surprises this year. All are annual contenders which means this should be a fun CWS to watch! I hope we see a new champion crowned!

Well in day 1 of the CWS Fullerton chokes a big lead when they change pitchers and lose 6-5 and L.S.U. forces too many Seminole errors and wins 5-4.

Tomorrow Texas A&M takes on Louisville and Florida takes on T.C.U..

Wow, FSU & CS Fullerton in an elimination game this early! That shows how tough the field is this year.

Louisville takes down A&M 8-4.
Florida beats T.C.U. 3-0.

Louisville will play their 4th straight game against an SEC team when they play Florida on Tuesday. I'm hoping that they remain undefeated.

Very tough field this year, Faedo was lights out for Florida last night and when TCU did get base runners the Florida battery did a great job of picking runners off of the base paths.

TCU vs. A&M for elimination on Tuesday, Frogs and Aggies met in the supers the past two years so there should be some good rivalry in this one.

In their previous 4 CWS appearances, TCU has never gone 0-2....hopefully we don't start this year.

I would say that TCU has the advantage against A&M. They used two starters & 4 relievers against Louisville. TCU is a tough matchup with a rested pitching staff.

Well a tough 24 hours for the SEC. L.S.U. falls to the loser's bracket after getting gnawed, felled, and dammed up by the Beavers 13-1. And T.C.U. continues to have the Aggies number 4-1 and the A&M is eliminated.

Didn't even know the games were on.

Gators capitalized on their opportunities & Louisville few mistakes. Our starting pitcher only gave up 3 hits but two of them were homeruns for 4 of their 5 runs. Florida starter was tough.

Both starters will pitch at the next level. Singer has the most movement I've seen on a fast ball since Bob Gibson.

He was impressive indeed. He showed great poise for a sophomore (?). Singer found himself in trouble in the late innings, bases loaded & 2 outs, but pitched himself out of it even though he was tiring. He pitched like a first rounder. Hopefully my Cards will have a couple more shots at the Gators. TCU will be tough as well Thursday night.

Will be interesting to see if TCU goes with Traver or Lodolo on Thursday night. Both spent part of this year injured.

Traver is a senior who has seen a lot of action in his TCU career. He started a mix of weekend and weekday games for TCU this year.

Lodolo is a true freshman and hasn't started a game since I think the Big 12 tournament due to injury. He did pitch an inning against Florida late in the game to get him some game action and he looked solid. He was the #41 overall pick in the MLB draft last year so he has great stuff, but that is a big spot to throw a true freshman in.

Either way TCU will need Lodolo to pitch to have a chance to win 3 more and make the final series.

I expect Louisville to go with Nick Bennett, a 6-4 lefty. He's a freshman but is 5-0 & started 12 of the 14 games he appeared in. He has a 2.70 era & teams are battling.240 against him. He's third on the team in strikeouts with 59. His biggest win probably came at Clemson, his last appearance of the regular season since the last game against FSU was rained out. He hasn't pitched since getting a win against Xavier in the regionals. He was a 40th Rd pick in the 2016 MLB draft by SF. He was #1 in Ohio in his class according to Prep Baseball Report. He was recruited by Vanderbilt, Mississippi, North Carolina, Kentucky &, ironically, TCU. He has been named to several Freshman AA lists. There is no doubt that he is our 3rd starter & likely our ace next season.

The daunting part of coming out of the losers bracket this year is that both Oregon State and Florida are very deep in pitching. Most years if you beat one of the two starters coming out of the losers bracket you get a so so #3 guy in that third game. That won't be happening this year which will make a team winning it all from the losers bracket an epic achievement.

And what is going overlooked by most is that Oregon State has quite an offensive team as well. It's no fluke that they've won 50+.

L.S.U. eliminates Florida State 7-4
