Really respect the way they play the game and the effort they gave tonight. I don't think there were any Beavers who weren't a little worried for much of the night. Gophers play a good brand of ball and put up one heck of a fight and did it on the road in a tough environment. That's a scrappy ball club who plays the game the right way and they earned my respect.
There are a half dozen other team I would have rather sent to the off season tonight.

I was less than impressed with the Golden Gopher who started jaw-jacking with the Home Plate ump in the 9th over a strike call.

I was just saying that it's to bad the series is over, that was fun to watch. Good clean ball from two excellent teams.

I agree that Minnesota team battled hard and play great ball, they just ran into a buzzsaw this weekend. With freshman arms like they have, I bet we see them back in the field of 64 next year.

It was a great game, and exactly the kind of effort that will be required to have success in Omaha. Well played by both teams.

A game with no errors, decent pitching to keep the score down at 3-3 entering the 9th and plenty of talent on each side made for as entertaining an affair as there was to watch. The Beavs were favored but nothing said going 2-0 was an easy task despite how the first game turned out. By playing a quality opponent and coming through in the end, OSU has primed the confidence pump heading into Omaha after having seen several Sunday games slip away recently due to deadbatitis...LOL!
Now to see who in the field is 3 quality starting pitchers deep. If no one is, then it will be up to Beaver bats to win the game at some point.

portlandtribune.com/pt/12-sports/398042-292074-beavers-will-take-strong-group-to-omahaMinnesota coach wonders if beavs have the bats to handle omaha's big field. ""They'll play in a bigger ballpark (in Omaha). It's a different game in that park. The alleys are huge. You have to be able to play outfield defense. The ball doesn't carry. You don't have a chance to hit as many balls out of the park. It will be interesting to see how that offense plays in that big stadium." Pat Casey says don't worry- big boy pants: ON!

After reading the story, he was very, very complimentary to our team. His quote about the ballpark is a small part of what he said.
And yes, we know from watching Danny Hayes how big the park plays.

I think we have the outfield defense part covered. That should have been pretty obvious to him. We scored 14 runs against them. Only three came via home runs. And yes, we've played there. Twice, so we know a little bit about how the park plays. They never have. Beavs have been there much more than twice:-)

How many times you been to the CWS? oh zero? in 34 years? Pat Casey says don't worry- big boy pants: ON! Looks like Anderson has played at TD Ameritrade park in the B1G conference tournament so he knows how the park plays. Danny Hayes knows exactly how the park plays edit: Looks like Henry & I are chanelling each other about a foot apart
