I still think being down 8-2 in the 4th inning of an elimination game AT GaTech...and proceeding to win that enroute on a 9-1 finish is about the craziest thing I've seen in college baseball. Especially when considering how mediocre they played in SEC play.

So not only was 08 Fresno a 4seed, but they also had the hardest path to win in history at that point. That’s unbelievable.

Why has there not been some excellent documentary done on these guys?

For a moment, I thought Will Wade was spending his time analyzing NCAA baseball stats

Will forever be one of my favorite teams in any sport. One of the biggest Cinderellas in any sport ever.

I followed PEAR all season and they were higher on us in many areas than most.

And also, Baseball America had and kept us ranked all season until very late SEC play. They finally dropped us out of top 25 after we lost to LSU in SEC tourney.

But of all the baseball sites these 2 were higher on us more consistently than all the others throughout the year.

If you’re not wining it as a Top 8, the path will always be “tougher”

Not sure this field qualifies as “murderers row” - Bama and OM were there lol

He did say that he was going to leave no stone left unturned.
