Final Ping
Congrats to the Cal State Fullerton Titans on their sweep of Texas to take the College World Series. I didn't see nearly as much college ball this year as I wanted to. I saw plenty of Stanford, but outside of seeing both Texas and Fullerton, I didn't see many other top-flight programs this year. I missed Rice when they played San Jose State, and elected to spend time with my grandmother rather than seeing Long Beach State.
With a side note to mention that Stanford went 5-1 against the two finalists in the CWS, I was a little surprised with this year's finals results. When I saw Fullerton, it was early in the year, in fact, it was one of the first games they played. They didn't look good, and in fact played only about .500 ball for their first 30 games. Texas, on the other hand, was mucho scary. They brought big bats, good starting pitching, and unbeatable relief. You had the feeling that after six, any lead was safe. Except that Fullerton was able to bust up the pen twice in two games to take it all.
Well, that's it for "ping!" for another year. I'll be getting out my camera sometime around the Superbowl and we'll start all over again.
