ICYMI: Game Winning Walk Off Infield Hit Sends Vandy to CWS
((ht: espn.com))
Imagine for a minute you play a sport or are part of the athletic department at a major SEC University and your school has had exactly one appearance in an NCAA title game.
And the sport the title was won in: Bowling.
Now imagine the jubilation on the Nashville campus of Vanderbilt University after their baseball team won a berth in the College World Series baseball finals.
The Commodores punched their ticket with a 4-3 win over Texas Saturday night in 10 innings. The game was decided after Tyler Campbell beat out a bases loaded infield hit with 2 outs in the bottom of the 10th inning.
And the celebrating began...
The win sends Vandy into Monday's Best of 3 series with Virginia and gives the Commodores a shot at their 1st ever major sports National title.
Should make for some fun baseball:

ICYMI: Walkoff Weekend: Baseball Game-Winning Fun on Friday
Say what you will about baseball being boring, slow, dull or whatever, but nothing gets the heart of a baseball and good sports fan racing more than a walk-off hit.
And Friday night, there were some good ones.
Justin Upton of the Atlanta Braves with perhaps the most dramatic, a 10th inning line drive, that cleared the fence and set of chaos in the A-T-L:
Jose Lobaton of the Tampa Bay Rays with the 9th inning triple breaking a 4-4 tie with Toronto:
And Jonathan Lucroy of the Milwaukee Brewers with the 2-strike, 2-out, 2-run game-winning HR off the supposedly unhittable Aroldis Chapman of the Cincinnati Reds:

Jason Giambi Is Not Too Old To Crush A Walk Off Home Run. "...it was orgasmic."
Yes Jason Giambi is very much alive and still playing baseball in the Major Leagues at 42 years old. Giambi wears the Cleveland Indian uniform and Tuesday night he burst back onto the front pages with a walk-off home run.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau Giambi became the oldest player to hit a walk off home run.
“There’s nothing more special in this game than to do that and help the ballclub win after they battled so well,” Giambi said. “It’s incredible just to contribute.”
Indian outfielder Nick Swisher was a little more graphic.
“It was electric, man,” Swisher said. “It was orgasmic, that’s what it was.”
Enough said.

Nate Freiman's Bloop Reminds Us Of Another
((HT: MLB/CSN))
Nate Freiman ended the Oakland-Yankees game this way today...
The Athletics are the 2nd team in Major League Baseball history to win 2 games this way in the 18th inning or later in same season- the other is the 1967 Yankees...
Fun stats from the 3-2 win:
Yankee pitchers threw 11 perfect innings
Oakland pitchers no-hit the Yankees 3-6 hitters- going 0 for 28
The A's won their 11th in a row at home, 21st in 26 overall, and moved a season-best 14 games above .500.
It's still their best start since since 1990.
They became the first AL team to play two 18-inning games in one season since Oakland and the Washington Senators did it 1971.
The game went 5 hours and 35 minutes...
Each team used seven pitchers and threw 255 pitches.
137 batters came to the plate- still 19 short of the season high of 156 during Oakland's 19-inning win over the Angels and the 20-inning game between the Marlins and Mets last Saturday...
Oh, the other event it reminded us of...???

The Journey To Omaha: A Hoosier Walk Off
 |
| Indiana's Chad Clark |
Valparaiso runs to score and it looked like an upset.
Clark had a chance to redeem himself in the bottom of the ninth during a Hoosier rally.
Clark crushed the hanging slider from Crusader closer Karch Kowalczyk over the left field wall and it was a walk off winner for Indiana 5-4.
“That’s never happened to me in my life,” Clark said. “Never even had a walk-off hit.”
The Journey To Omaha: A Walk-Off Win For The OSU Beavers
Their are no concessions during the NCAA college baseball regionals. Oregon State found that out Friday as Texas-San Antonio gave the Beavers a serious scare at the Corvallis, Oregon regional.
The Roadrunners (35-24), a four seed in the regional, took the Beavers (46-10) to the limit on OSU's home field.
It took a walk-off double by Dylan Davis, who led the Pac-12 in RBI and doubles, off UTSA closer Matt Sims that scoring two runs to win it for Oregon State 5-4
Here's a game winner described by FOSG Tom Hart.
"I was looking first-pitch fastball, got what I was looking for and took advantage of it.'' Davis said.
"We flinched for one second, and they took advantage of it, and that's what happens when you play a good team on its home turf,'' Texas-San Antonio head coach Jason Marshall said. "We don't always play well, but we always play our hearts out, and I think you saw that today.''
