WOOOOOOOOO!

I don't know what it was about this game, but I was more nervous in the later innings than during our football games - and I'm a much bigger football fan.

You too?

Looks like Gray went today. If we can avoid him (which we obviously will now), I think getting out of the Regional is a definite possibility. Great win for the Huskies. Becoming a NE powerhouse. Would love for UConn to be the one school in the NE that cares about baseball. I think it could work.

Out of curiosity who else has a formidable program in the Northeast?

Right now it is Bryant. They were a #3 seed in their regional and just beat Arkansas in the opening game.

I can definitely definitely empathize.


Also, how much is it in the minds of Va Tech and ACC brass that we brought many vocal fans into their territory?

Not many UConn fans at the game. Those that were there were vocal.

Proud to be the only #4 seed to knock off a #1 seed in any of the 16 Regionals yesterday. #BleedBlue

Florida was actually a 3 seed this year, so based on seed only, not an upset.

Giving up a 3-run HR in the 8th up 3-1 sure is a tough way to lose though.

Missed that Florida was the 3 seed. Regardless Florida losing to Austin Peay is considered an upset.
