EugeneDave is unable to post right now so he asked me to mention this and I quote:
"In 1988, the year ASU set the record for most consecutive victories with 23 (which we just tied).......they were the #1 seed at Omaha. There were two other Pac-10 teams in Omaha that year, Stanford and Cal. Stanford (#7 seed) defeated ASU in the single finals game. They did not play a best of three back then.
This bodes well for us and Omaha. Very well indeed."
So I guess what Dave is saying is that he expects us to be the #1 seed this year and then lose to Arizona in the finals (wink).

In a Regional you face a teams #1 and there are a LOT of great arms out there. Just to make a Super is tough in 2017. |

In a Regional you face a teams #1 and there are a LOT of great arms out there. Just to make a Super is tough in 2017. Someone determined that Arizona State broke their own record in 2010 with a 24-game winning streak. (The baseball season came in the middle of the Pac-10 becoming the Pac-12. Additionally, the Sun Devils were in the midst of an NCAA probe at the time, so they had bigger fish to fry. However, none of the wins in the 24-game winning streak were vacated.) Arizona State started 24-0 in 2010. After 29 games, the Sun Devils were 27-2 (road losses to Oregon and Washington State). Arizona State went 20-6 over the back 26 (road losses to Arizona, Stanford, and Washington State; home losses to Oregon State and Washington; and a midweek loss to Arizona) to finish 47-8. The Committee gave the Sun Devils the #1 overall seed. Arizona State swept through their regional and then beat Arkansas twice in the Super Regional (albeit both wins came in extra innings). Arizona State's run came to an end against Clemson and South Carolina in consecutive games. South Carolina came out of the loser's bracket to win the College World Series over UCLA. |
