On the road again (the road to Omaha, that is).


College baseball may not be amazing, but it's still enjoyable. The aluminum bats don't blow my skirt up, but I guess they're okay. The MLB Draft regulations also hurt the large schools like OU and Virginia. Oh well, baseball is baseball and baseball is awesome.

OU is making its first College World Series appearance since 1995 and 10th overall (13th all-time among DI schools). Five of Cody Reine's 10 homers have come in the NCAA Tournament. The last time UVA lost two straight games was on May 14-15 in 2009 against Virginia Tech (last weekend of regular season). The last OU shutout in the NCAA tournament was in 1992 against UCLA. That 10-0 win sent OU to the 1992 CWS. The pair of three-run homers by Reine marked his eighth and ninth of the season with with runners on base. Cameron Seitzer snapped a 1-for-19 skid in the NCAA Tournament with a solo homer in the second. OU has 28 multiple home run games on the year including three in the NCAA Tournament. The Sooners have homered in 20 of the last 23 games. The four home runs on Monday marked the 13th time this season that OU has reached or eclipsed that mark in a game this season.
