Unseeded Stanford eliminated #1 seed Miami in the College World Series tonight in Omaha with an 8-3 win.
The Hurricanes led briefly 1-0, but Stanford scored eight unanswered runs and pitchers Erik Davis and Drew Storen closed it out against a Miami team that never seemed able to play well on either offense or defense in its three games.
Stanford moves on to face undefeated Georgia (a #8 seed) on Friday at 11 am PT.
Thursday night at 4 pm PT, #2 North Carolina and #7 LSU play an elimination game with the winner moving to play unbeaten and unseeded Fresno State.
this is a pet peeve of mine, the final score was 8-3, Miami led 1-0 and then Stanford scored 8 runs... they weren't unanswered, Miami answered back with 2 runs, they just weren't enough.
The games are on ESPN or ESPN2. You get either Mike Patrick and Orel Hershiser or Karl Ravech and Robin Ventura. Erin Andrews stands in the dugout to distract players.
But I know what you mean.
