You definitely need to catch some breaks along the way
Pitching matchups are key as well

It also helps to stay in winners bracket in Omaha
What lsu did last year with 8 games in 10 days is next to impossible to pull off
To beat Fla in a three game series without having Skenes toe the rubber is hard to fathom looking back

All true..

LSU caught some breaks for sure. Everyone knew they had Skenes, but it dropped off a cliff after that.. yet those other guys pitched their asses off in Omaha.

Ole Miss - lucky to even get into the postseason.. then made a run as a 3 seed

Miss State - lucky to avoid that NC State team that was on fire..

Oregon State - sorry Hogs

Even going back to 2009, I saw some highlights of Texas vs LSU the other night.. Texas was up 6-4 with 2 outs in the 9th when DJ LemahowdoIspellthisnameoo hit a 2 run double to tie the game.. now that's not lucky per se, but it wasn't unlucky and could have gone the other way.

Fresno State pulling the NC with the 4 seed.

Coastal Carolina.. and the list goes on and on..

The ball just bounces funny some days.. but that is also what makes baseball the great sport that it is..

The Gamecocks 2010 run was a lot of good breaks. Losing game one. rallying game 2, beating Clemson twice in a row (one by starting a reliever known as Michael Roth). Beating two star pitchers in the finals.

2011 we go through the postseason undefeated. Extra innings against UVA where Matt Price got out of a few bases loaded no outs jams.
