D1 Digest: Saturday Roundup


The best of the day in college baseball

- The insane atmosphere and the insane happenings in that Texas-Texas State game

I won’t go too far into this one since Kendall is going to have a write-up about it tonight. But this was one incredible shot of adrenaline after another. A back and forth game that featured numerous lead changes and also seven home runs. And the drama?…. It’d be hard for Hollywood to script something better. The only thing that was missing was the end of the season for one of these teams because it FELT like a Monday seventh game of the Regionals.

- Andrew Ciufo… hero shot

Boy, Clemson almost blew its game with rival South Carolina. The Gamecocks overcame a 4-1 deficit by scoring three runs in the top of the ninth, two of them from a home run by Ethan Petry, and sent the game into extras. Keep in mind the Tigers had taken a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning so they had the lead for most of the game. Anyway, fast forward to the 12th inning where the game was still tied and this is how Andrew Ciufo decided he’d had enough and ended it himself.

- Miami may have avoided the Ouch List

After losing in the midweek to Florida Gulf Coast and then dropping the Friday night matchup to the Gators, boy, did the Hurricanes need today’s 10-6 win over their rivals from Gainesville. The Hurricanes jumped on the Gators early for five runs (home runs by Jason Torres and Edgardo Villegas) in the first two innings and then clinched things late with five runs in their final two at-bats (the key blow coming from a two-run yard call by Daniel Cuvet). Cuvet and Torres each had two hits, a home run and three RBI on their ledger.

– The pitching and defense of Georgia-Georgia Tech

All the bluster. All the overhyped offensive stats. All the home runs. Well guess what won the day in Athens today? Yep, pitching and defense. Well, sort of. I mean there were two home runs hit, one by each team (none of which were hit by anyone named Charlie Condon or Drew Burress). There were only 11 hits in the game but four Bulldog pitchers combined to hold Tech to just four of them, which keyed the 3-1 Georgia win. After the game Bulldog head coach Wes Johnson even commented, “We played good defense including Charlie (Condon), who helped us win that game with his glove.”

Welcome to planet earth. Been that way for a while now like 20 years or so

Yup, DBU has made a regional 9 seasons in a row and 11 of the last 12 seasons. Theyre easily one of the best and most consistent mid major programs.

Nice two out hit

Well this Texas/Vandy game is certainly off too an entertaining start.

Ags rolling early. Montgomery was such a big addition.
