Very dramatic and exciting end to the Fullerton-UW series.

Washington took a 3-1 lead to the 9th inning of game 3. Fullerton scored 3 runs with two out to take the lead in the top of the 9th. Washington got a clutch one out single in the bottom of the 9th to tie the score.

Fullerton took the lead again in the top of the 10th. But the Huskies scored 2 in the bottom of the 10th for the win and their 1st ever trip to the College World Series.

Oregon State won game 3 over Minnesota so the P12 will have 2 representatives in Omaha.

I found the UW-Fullerton series fascinating, largely because we dropped two games to each club right at the end of the year.
I had thought UW had a slight edge given their relative performance against us, though home/away issues both versus us (i.e. UW got to play us in Seattle whereas Fullerton came to Stanford) and again in the super-regional (UW had to go to Fullerton) complicated the matter.
Unfortunately, I fell asleep watching and missed most of the dramatic finish.


And just to be a stickler, OSU beat Minnesota in two straight: 8-1 and 6-3.
That latter game was the only game OSU ever trailed during the post-season so far, and the only game they won by less than 6 runs.

OSU does seem the best team in the country at this moment. However, the situation was pretty much identical a year ago at this time and OSU ended up getting knocked on in the semifinals by LSU.
It's baseball.
