RT @Dustin_McComas: That was one of the weirdest, best, worst, games I’ve ever seen. Baseball…it’s a bitch.

@superfan99 I’m expecting Orel to go off on a rant about kids today & rock music. Or maybe yell at the players to get off his lawn. #UT #cws

@LingerfeltInt Any member of the greatest generation who saw my tweet should know the ‘old people’ comment doesn’t apply to them.

@justinssilver I think it’s pretty clear neither of these guys watch much college baseball, so they have to fill time other ways. #cws #ut

OMG SHUT UP about Twitter old people. This is embarrassing for everyone involved. Wish @ESPN_CWSKyle was doing more than Tweeting. #cws #UT
-
@TBirdOmaha Haha. #CWS is special event thanks (in part) to city of Omaha. It’s clear they don’t really know much about college baseball.

Moldenhauer with another good at bat but this one ends with a groundout. Nice play by USM 1B to stay on bag. After 3, #UT 2, USM 0
-
#UT hits the ball solidly but goes quickly in the bottom of the 2nd. After 2 innings, it’s Texas 2, USM 0. #ws
-
#UT game is about to get underway. First Erin Andrews sighting of the game on ESPN2 for piece on Southern Miss coach. #CWS
-
Looks like #UT/Southern Miss winner will be facing Arizona St thanks to crappy UNC defense. ASU still has ace in the hole too.
-
Ump was giving ASU pitcher a WIDE strikezone in 9th. Giving him calls off inside corner and a foot off outside corner. #cws

RT @bevobeat: Blog entry: Horns will start Green against Southern Miss http://tinyurl.com/lpmlz7 #ut
The Texas Longhorns are headed back to Omaha for the 33rd time. The team topped [tag]TCU[/tag] 5-2 to win their Super Regional and advance to the [tag]College World Series[/tag]. The Longhorns won thanks to a complete performance in all facets of the game, getting great starting pitching, great defense, and great fundamental offense and power.
Freshman starter [tag]Taylor Jungmann[/tag] allowed only 2 hits over 6 innings to earn the win. The offense was led by [tag]Brandon Belt[/tag] and [tag]Kevin Keyes[/tag] who helped get the Horns off to a quick 3-run lead in the first inning. Keyes homered in the first and nearly had another one later when he double off the top of the rightfield wall.
Texas will open CWS play Sunday against [tag]Southern Miss[/tag] at 6pm on ESPN2. (more …)
