Romanski Tosses No-Hitter

I’ve written about USD left-hander Josh Romanski before, and this morning at Cunningham Stadium, he did something I’d never seen anyone do in person: he no-hit Harvard. I can’t find a box score, so I don’t know how many strikeouts he had, but it was a lot. Romanski benefited from one spectacular diving play by […]

I finally got to see some baseball this weekend. Friday night I watched University of San Diego left-hander Brian Matusz struggle with his command as crosstown rival San Diego State University came out on top, 11-2. Matusz is projected to go early in the first round […]

Keeping Tabs on the Cape

I’ve identified CodBall previously as the place to get all the latest on the Cape Cod Baseball League and its players (you know, the guys who will be getting picked in next year’s draft). Now the folks responsible for CodBall are pointing us to several other sources of info on the league. If you’re a […]

Beavers Top Heels, Repeat as Champs

The Oregon State Beavers defeated the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, 9-3, on Sunday night to claim their second consecutive NCAA championship. This marks the fifth time in history that a school has taken the title in back-to-back seasons. The last time it happened was when LSU did it in 1996-97.
Congratulations to the Beavers […]

2007 College World Series Schedule Announced

The College World Series schedule is now available. Two teams from California — UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton — have made it to Omaha.
My adopted team, Irvine, plays Saturday against Arizona State. First pitch is 11 a.m. PT and the game will be broadcast on ESPN.
Here’s the thing about the Anteaters. Ordinarily you wouldn’t […]

Did You Learn Anything at College?

Meet the NCAA. They’re a very large and powerful organization evidently in search of some bad PR.
Hey, they’ve found some. Woo-hoo!
Brian Bennett, a reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal, was ejected from the press box in the fifth inning of the University of Louisville’s game on Sunday for liveblogging the event (hat tips to reader Didi […]

NCAA Tourney Keeps Twisting and Turning

So, I’m over the Toreros getting bumped. The fact that only three of the eight national seeds advanced to the Super Regionals gives me some comfort.
But not much.
Still, if Vanderbilt, the top-ranked team in the country, can’t make it out of the Regionals, then I guess it really could happen to anyone. Ah, the lies […]

Anteaters Advance to Super Regionals

Congratulations to the UC Irvine Anteaters for beating Texas and advancing to the Super Regionals. With my USD Toreros now out of the Regionals, I’m adopting the Anteaters for the remainder of the post-season.
Why? It’s very simple:

A good friend of mine attended UCI and is pulling for them.
They beat Texas.
I saw some pretty good concerts […]

Toreros Bounced from NCAA Regionals

Well. This isn’t what I expected from the #4 ranked team in the nation. Granted, they weren’t playing on their home field, but they did get to play in their home town.
And they didn’t win a single game.
Yep, the University of San Diego has been eliminated from its own Regional without so much as a […]
