We have had a competitive baseball program, the last two or three teams have really sucked though. A few CWS (2 runner-up finishes), Super Regionals (most recent was loss to Clemson who played SoCar for the title).

Forget the guy's name but the longest home run I've seen hit (at Swayze) was from a guy from bama in 08 or 09...

We got smashed that day like 18-3 or something. He hit it clear over the big oak in left. fricking no doubter. Anybody remember his name??

Sorry for hijack.


ESPN was really bad about scheduling though and I really don't see the benefit to them.

I think you are talking about the 2010 Super Regional in Clemson where y'all lost to them, they advanced to the CWS where we knocked them out and then went on to beat UCLA for the National Championship?

If I remember correctly y'all took the first game from Clemson and then they won the next two at their place? They crushed y'all in the second game if I remember correctly, but the other two were like 1 run games maybe?

We were not even a national seed that year. We had to fight our way through the Super Regional at Coastal Carolina winning on a Christian Walker homer to advance to Omaha before winning the national championship.

PS: Yes OP, I too thought the games were poorly scheduled this past season. Seems like all the daytime games overlapped, some of them well into the first qtr of the following game.
