It’s time for the Super Regional. Since not everyone follows college baseball closely, the Super Regional is the equivalent of basketball’s Sweet Sixteen. Unlike basketball, however, the Super Regional is a best two of three format and not a single elimination.
The Odd Couple – sort of

The Maryland Terrapins baseball team dropped a 4-2 decision to the nation’s top seed the UCLA Bruins on UCLA’s home field Sunday night setting up a win or go home game Monday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium. The Terps are trying to advance to the Super Regional for the second consecutive season and UCLA is looking to avoid becoming the fourth number one seed since 1999 to fail to make it out of its region.

I’ll admit it up front. I’m not a good photographer but I try. Wayne, Mason and I talk over some of the photos I took at the Tewaaraton Awards Ceremony last Thursday night. I hope you enjoy them.
Sometimes in life you make the right decision and sometimes a decision is made for you. I had one of those moments Saturday night. With the University of Maryland baseball team playing its NCAA Tournament games on the west coast, I managed to watch the Terrapins take a 4-1 lead after three and a half innings over the tournament’s top seed and home standing UCLA Bruins.
My clock read 12:30 a.m. and my body began sending intense sleep signals as … Read More »
