USC (the University of South Carolina), College World Series Champions

I have to admit i don't watch a lot ofbaseball, but I usually watch the College World Series.  And with USC (the University of South Carolina)  in the hunt, there was no way I was gonna miss it.  USC has made it easy to be a Gamecock fan not just with winning, but making the games fun to watch.

  • On June 22nd the Gamecocks put 8 on the board in the 2nd inning, and they went on to send the #1 seeded team home with a 11-4 loss.
  • On June 24th Oklahoma was winning 2-1.  South Carolina had 2 out and 2 strikes.  We were one strike away from the team heading back to Colombia.  A couple of hits later and OK was heading home with a 3-2 loss
  • There is not much better than beating #1 Arizona and then following with such a dramatic win against Oklahoma, but I can think of one thing better.  Beating the Clemson Tigers back to back (5-1 & 4-3), knocking them out of the championship race, and locking up a USC (The USC) vs. UCLA College World Series game.
  • We won our opening game with UCLA which ended up 7-1.  All 9 of the starting players had at least one hit.  The second game was a great game to watch.  UCLA scored in the 5th, and USC scored in the 8th making it 1-1.  It remained 1-1 until Whit Merrifield singled home Scott Wingo in the bottom of the 11th. 
Loved every second of it.  USC is the College World Series Champions of 2010. Go Gamecocks!  Now if we can just get this to carry over to football.
