0:07
Speaker 1: Hey, I know that song. Have you ever heard that
0:11
Speaker 1: song once or twice? Yeah, it sounds kind of neat Hey, everybody,
0:15
Speaker 1: welcome in. It's another special episode of Three Guys Before
0:19
Speaker 1: the Game from Omaha, Nebraska. You are looking live behind
0:25
Speaker 1: us at the Let It Fly Sports Bar where Mountaineer
0:29
Speaker 1: fans and really fans from all the teams are celebrating. Well,
0:33
Speaker 1: only West Virginia is really the only ones celebrating. The
0:35
Speaker 1: other ones are getting ready to hopefully celebrate. Following West
0:39
Speaker 1: Virginia's and again underscore historic seven to five victory, the Mountaineers,
0:43
Speaker 1: in their first ever College World Series game went out
0:47
Speaker 1: and they played a wonderful baseball game just from a
0:50
Speaker 1: dramatic standpoint, both teams they were slugging at. West Virginia
0:54
Speaker 1: scored runs in each of the first four innings, and
0:58
Speaker 1: they taught us again so well of how this team
1:03
Speaker 1: is built that it at times will indicate that if
1:07
Speaker 1: a star isn't having a star performance, it's okay, next
1:11
Speaker 1: man through. And that was the story on the mound
1:14
Speaker 1: with Chance and Cole really not having this great stuff today.
1:18
Speaker 1: But you go to your pen and ian Korn comes in,
1:21
Speaker 1: and Ian Korn throws the longest stint that he's had
1:25
Speaker 1: in his entire season, and he was just one of
1:29
Speaker 1: many mountaineers that deserve a lot of atta boys.
1:31
Speaker 2: Running out of adjectives to talk about the run that
1:34
Speaker 2: this team is on. I just said earlier, it's another
1:37
Speaker 2: wow moment for these guys, and they just continue to
1:40
Speaker 2: do what they're supposed to do, and they do their
1:42
Speaker 2: jobs and everybody contributes and we'll talk about all of
1:45
Speaker 2: those performances coming up. But what a magical day it
1:48
Speaker 2: was here in Omaha, I said on sports Line earlier.
1:51
Speaker 2: Not far from the field of dreams, the real field
1:53
Speaker 2: of dreams. This became the field of dreams for this
1:55
Speaker 2: Mountaineer team, and they just continue to roll and do
1:57
Speaker 2: what they do.
1:58
Speaker 3: A wow moment.
1:59
Speaker 4: Today was a great game. It was a It was
2:02
Speaker 4: an entertaining game. It started out with all these hits
2:05
Speaker 4: and all these runs. You know, it's four to four,
2:08
Speaker 4: it's three to one, then it's four to three, then
2:10
Speaker 4: it's four to four. Then it kind of gets quiet
2:12
Speaker 4: for about three or four innings. Yeah, then you have
2:16
Speaker 4: that drama in the eighth inning with West Virginia getting
2:18
Speaker 4: those two runs, and I know we're going to talk
2:20
Speaker 4: about some of the heroes of the day, but you
2:22
Speaker 4: couldn't look away. It was a fascinating game. It was
2:24
Speaker 4: a great environment. Rad you've been here before, it's our
2:27
Speaker 4: first time. But everything's surrounding this event because it's not
2:30
Speaker 4: just about West Virginia and Troy. It's about eight teams
2:33
Speaker 4: and fans from eight teams and all the things going
2:35
Speaker 4: on in Omaha surrounding this a special time for West Virginia.
2:40
Speaker 2: It's exceeded expectations for you guys, because I've been here
2:44
Speaker 2: and it exceeded my expectations. The whole thing has been wonderful. Yes,
2:48
Speaker 2: all of that, and that's not just because you want
2:49
Speaker 2: to day. I would have said that before the game started.
2:51
Speaker 2: Every person involved in this, every person we've come across,
2:54
Speaker 2: it's an Omaha native. It has been a wonderful experience.
2:57
Speaker 2: And we're just getting started.
2:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are, and we'll get into that. What's it
3:00
Speaker 1: all mean for West Virginia? Now? What happens next? They'll
3:03
Speaker 1: play again on Sunday. As far as time and things
3:06
Speaker 1: like that, we still have to figure out a lot
3:09
Speaker 1: of stuff because as we record, just not long after
3:12
Speaker 1: the game, you've got North Carolina and all miss planning

3:52
Speaker 1: things then we're gonna have for you some Steve Sabans
3:55
Speaker 1: postgame comments, Oh, by the way, Steve Sabans right before
4:00
Speaker 1: the game, So it was at ten o'clock, so I
4:02
Speaker 1: guess three hours before today's game. He is the center
4:07
Speaker 1: of press conference where he is named the National Coach
4:09
Speaker 1: of the Year, the first time a WVU baseball coach
4:13
Speaker 1: has ever won a National Coach of the Year award.
4:16
Speaker 1: So well deserved, so fitting, and it just is another
4:21
Speaker 1: great exclamation point of this season.
4:23
Speaker 3: Think about that day.
4:24
Speaker 2: You start your day getting the national Coach of the
4:26
Speaker 2: Year and then you say thanks everybody and just carry
4:28
Speaker 2: the trophy straight into the locker room because your game
4:31
Speaker 2: is getting ready to be played and you get the
4:33
Speaker 2: school's first ever College World Series win. So what a
4:36
Speaker 2: great award, well deserved for him. We've talked so much
4:39
Speaker 2: about Steve Saban, so well deserved there has been.
4:42
Speaker 4: It has been entertaining and enlightening to follow him this
4:47
Speaker 4: closely over the last couple of weeks because he's just
4:52
Speaker 4: he's just even Keel, He's just cool. He's just kind
4:55
Speaker 4: of like today, I mean, we're going to play some
4:57
Speaker 4: of this postgame press conference. His postgame press conference was
5:00
Speaker 4: not unlike the pregame press conference, right, just even though
5:04
Speaker 4: they just won the first game of the College World
5:06
Speaker 4: Series in West Virginia baseball history, just even Keel got
5:10
Speaker 4: it collected, has it organized, and that that is reflective
5:15
Speaker 4: in the players on this team.
5:18
Speaker 1: Right, Absolutely true, And that's how sports works, right, There's
5:22
Speaker 1: a trickle down effect all the time, and you will
5:25
Speaker 1: learn how your coach handles himself or herself, and it
5:29
Speaker 1: oftentimes impacts the entire team. And this dude's smooth. I
5:33
Speaker 1: know they pay they play smooth operator, right, Ben Lumpson,
5:37
Speaker 1: But like Sabans is the ultimate smooth operator. Who else
5:41
Speaker 1: would steal home in the inning of his first ever
5:44
Speaker 1: College World Series. Again, that's a smooth operator.
5:47
Speaker 2: Started the College World Series with the first steal of
5:51
Speaker 2: home in twenty six seasons in this building. Unbelievable. And
5:55
Speaker 2: let's talk about that for a second because I thought
5:57
Speaker 2: that set the tone and certainly didn't win the game,
5:59
Speaker 2: but it's at the tone and I think what it
6:01
Speaker 2: did that exemplifies this West Virginia team. The stealing of
6:05
Speaker 2: home was unusual for Omaha. It's not for these Mountaineers.
6:08
Speaker 2: They do this, and it was Armani Guzman talked about
6:12
Speaker 2: in the postgame and said what led to that?
6:14
Speaker 3: And he said our staff.
6:15
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing Sabans would say about the
6:17
Speaker 2: national Coach of the Year, he would credit the staff
6:19
Speaker 2: as well, This is a tremendous staff. So Armani credited
6:23
Speaker 2: the scout from the staff and they said, we had
6:25
Speaker 2: a couple keys on, a couple of different guys and
6:27
Speaker 2: our vantage point down the third base line, Tony, we
6:29
Speaker 2: were watching him and he kept pushing it. The first
6:32
Speaker 2: couple of pitches at the bat, he kept pushing and
6:35
Speaker 2: he was getting further down the line. So he's checking
6:37
Speaker 2: to see what's happening, and Hoppy that third baseman stayed
6:40
Speaker 2: back and didn't hold him on and kept backing up.
6:43
Speaker 2: And I turned to the guy sitting next to me
6:44
Speaker 2: and I said, I can't believe this, but I think
6:46
Speaker 2: Guzman's about to try and steal home. And on the
6:49
Speaker 2: very next pitch, that third baseman went all the way
6:51
Speaker 2: back by the dirt dropped back, and Guzman got a
6:54
Speaker 2: little further lead, and he was a good third of
6:56
Speaker 2: the way down the line. And then Stubbs didn't pay attention,
7:00
Speaker 2: didn't look, and Guzman just took off and was safe
7:03
Speaker 2: at home. You said it stole home in the first
7:06
Speaker 2: inning of their first College World Series game. Just a remarkable,
7:10
Speaker 2: remarkable move.
7:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really was. It becomes an iconic moment. And
7:14
Speaker 1: so to Steve's point, that's how they would have played
7:17
Speaker 1: it back in April or February. Let's go ahead. If
7:19
Speaker 1: we think we got it, we're going to do it.
7:21
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter where we are. How many times do we
7:23
Speaker 1: see teams come into high profile events and they stop
7:25
Speaker 1: being themselves? Right, you get caught up, you don't be yourself. Yeah,
7:30
Speaker 1: you stop playing the way that you do. And that
7:32
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't the case here today. Also, besides some of
7:36
Speaker 1: Coach Sabans's post game I talked a little bit about
7:41
Speaker 1: this earlier. We have been hearing about some of the
7:45
Speaker 1: most unbelievable stories of mountaineer fans and what they had
7:49
Speaker 1: to go through to get here because the weather back
7:53
Speaker 1: home or from wherever they were coming on Friday, what
7:57
Speaker 1: their Thursday was really bad. And so I've got a
8:01
Speaker 1: lady coming in. Okay, got a lady coming in. Of
8:06
Speaker 1: course you don't know this named Chavon, And she told
8:10
Speaker 1: me her story, and so I'm going to have her
8:13
Speaker 1: come on toward the end of the show and she's
8:16
Speaker 1: going to share the story of how they got here. Basically,
8:20
Speaker 1: what it involves is people that don't even know each other,
8:24
Speaker 1: going like where are you going? Where are you going? Hey?
8:26
Speaker 1: If we were in a car, would you drive? Would
8:28
Speaker 1: you and all you get these groups of people and
8:30
Speaker 1: it happened multiple times. I've heard many, many stories about it,
8:35
Speaker 1: so we'll get into that.
8:36
Speaker 4: Well, Tony. A pilgrimage attracts different what it was.
8:40
Speaker 1: It was a pilgrimage to Omaha.
8:43
Speaker 2: This blew me away again, guys, and I wasn't surprised,
8:45
Speaker 2: but it did blow me away. We had an event
8:47
Speaker 2: here at at let It Fly where our home headquarters
8:49
Speaker 2: had been packed hoppy.
8:51
Speaker 3: It was packed all the way around.
8:52
Speaker 2: It was packed down below when you look through those
8:54
Speaker 2: stands down the third baseline in particular, there was a
8:56
Speaker 2: lot of gold down there. Mountain a fears mountaineer fans
8:59
Speaker 2: did what they did. They showed up in a big moment,
9:01
Speaker 2: in a big event, and there's more to come.

9:50
Speaker 1: Number one pontoon boat dealer in the state of West Virginia,
9:52
Speaker 1: also the only Honda Marine premium dealer in the state.
9:56
Speaker 4: Did you see West Virginia any of them on the
9:58
Speaker 4: Missouri River?
9:59
Speaker 1: I did?
10:00
Speaker 4: Did you?
10:01
Speaker 1: Stunned me? Stunned me? When we were coming in, flying in,
10:04
Speaker 1: getting low, saw the Missouri River and it was an
10:07
Speaker 1: armada of lou Wendel pontoon boats, actually the Honda. They
10:12
Speaker 1: had Hondas running like a little bit of an armada,
10:15
Speaker 1: like a security bridge around them, and so I thought
10:18
Speaker 1: it was yeah, they're on their way.
10:19
Speaker 4: There's some West Virginia fans who wish they would have
10:22
Speaker 4: taken a boat. They would have taken the boat and
10:24
Speaker 4: gotten here sooner.
10:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right, So that's what we have on deck.
10:27
Speaker 1: What do you say we listened in now? Steve Sabans
10:30
Speaker 1: following West Virginia seven to five victory over Troy. It
10:34
Speaker 1: was the first game for both of these schools ever
10:36
Speaker 1: in College World Series history. West Virginia gets the w
10:40
Speaker 1: E and Korn is credited with the win. He goes
10:43
Speaker 1: to six and one. Ben McDougall comes in finishes them
10:47
Speaker 1: in the ninth he earns the safe. Steve Sabins after today's.
10:51
Speaker 5: Game, really fun, fun game, Exciting to be here. I
10:54
Speaker 5: thought the guys played great. Want to make sure spend
10:57
Speaker 5: a little bit of time on just how well Troy
11:00
Speaker 5: played and how well coached they are, and how competitive
11:03
Speaker 5: that team is, and what Skyler t Mead has done
11:06
Speaker 5: with that program is nothing short of incredible.
11:08
Speaker 6: They deserve a ton of credit.
11:12
Speaker 5: I thought our guys came out fearless and aggressive and
11:15
Speaker 5: started with Armani turning an air into a double and
11:21
Speaker 5: advancing to third on a throw across a diamond and
11:23
Speaker 5: stealing home. And it wasn't anything that's completely unusual to us,
11:27
Speaker 5: but it was just playing the way that we play.
11:29
Speaker 6: So I was really proud of the guys just settling.
11:31
Speaker 6: Then we saw Chance and.
11:32
Speaker 5: Cole get hit a little bit for basically the first
11:34
Speaker 5: time all seasons, so he'll bounce back and be great again.
11:37
Speaker 5: But what ian Korn did in that game to stabilize
11:40
Speaker 5: it to go six innings two hits was nothing short
11:43
Speaker 5: of miraculous. And then obviously McDougall with a big out
11:47
Speaker 5: there to close it. But a lot of heroes throughout
11:49
Speaker 5: the game. The guys that left to me certainly those
11:51
Speaker 5: and Tyres Hall played as good as anybody had the
11:54
Speaker 5: big double off the left center field wall followed up
11:57
Speaker 5: by incredible defensive play that ended up saving a round.
12:00
Speaker 6: But I thought we played clean baseball.
12:01
Speaker 5: I thought the guys were grounded and were themselves, and
12:05
Speaker 5: I think that's all you're looking for this time of year.
12:08
Speaker 1: Steve Sabans with his opening comment, we'll get some more
12:11
Speaker 1: Steve coming up here in just a little bit.
12:13
Speaker 3: Ian Corn.
12:14
Speaker 2: Ian Corn, guys, this team has been driven by pitching
12:17
Speaker 2: all year and chance and Cole has not had many games,
12:20
Speaker 2: if any, all year where he was hit and he
12:22
Speaker 2: was today and that happens. Welcome to baseball. And so
12:25
Speaker 2: all you do is you go into the bullpen and
12:26
Speaker 2: you bring up another D two arm that comes in.
12:29
Speaker 2: That was all conference, one of the best eras in
12:31
Speaker 2: the Big twelve and he gives you six. As Steve said,
12:34
Speaker 2: he called him miraculous, and I'm not sure he's wrong.
12:35
Speaker 2: Their hobby gave you six innings, one run, and that
12:39
Speaker 2: basically shut the door on that Troy offense that was
12:41
Speaker 2: hitting the ball that we knew this Troy team was
12:43
Speaker 2: coming press and they were going to fight and they
12:46
Speaker 2: were going to scrap. And they didn't luck into this spot.
12:48
Speaker 2: They won their way in just like West Virginia did.
12:51
Speaker 2: And this was a punch counter punch game. You were
12:53
Speaker 2: standing in the middle of the ring and no one
12:54
Speaker 2: was going to their corner and you're just throwing punches
12:57
Speaker 2: and seeing who can hold on. Late Troy was throwing punches.
13:00
Speaker 2: West Virginia just hung on and through the last one.
13:02
Speaker 4: It was fascinating because both starting pitchers struggled a little
13:05
Speaker 4: bit today, right, and then Corn comes in does a
13:09
Speaker 4: miraculous job, as coach said, and also for for Troy Crutchfield, Crutchfeld.
13:16
Speaker 4: Crutchfeld came in. He did a good job.
13:18
Speaker 1: Crotch felt, and who's as painful as that may be.
13:23
Speaker 4: He did it. He did it. He did a good job.
13:25
Speaker 4: So then it kind of settled in. It was weird
13:28
Speaker 4: because in the beginning you think, okay, who's going to
13:30
Speaker 4: get ten runs? Is going to get twelve runs? And
13:32
Speaker 4: then it settled in you thought, who's going to get
13:34
Speaker 4: one more run than the other team? And you go
13:38
Speaker 4: into the eighth in West Virginia has that big eighth
13:40
Speaker 4: inning with get a couple of runs. But I mean
13:42
Speaker 4: that was a that that game had everything. It had everything,
13:46
Speaker 4: and it was fascinating.
13:47
Speaker 1: Headline Skip, I believe it was. Skip wrote it in
13:51
Speaker 1: to the text line. Headline newspaper. If you're any newspaper
13:56
Speaker 1: writing your story for tomorrow, headline corn stands tall in Omaha.
14:01
Speaker 3: Oh, that's very good.
14:02
Speaker 2: We are in the corn Husker state right here. That's
14:05
Speaker 2: very good. I didn't put that together so quick. Horn
14:08
Speaker 2: makes sense. Plays the story out that Korn comes in
14:11
Speaker 2: and he's the star here in Nebraska in game one.
14:13
Speaker 3: That is awesome.
14:14
Speaker 4: And how about guys. Once again, the bottom of the order,
14:17
Speaker 4: the bottom of the order, along with offensively the bottom
14:20
Speaker 4: of the order carried you today.
14:22
Speaker 2: And that's not new. They carried in the regional. Then
14:25
Speaker 2: they go to the super regional, drove in fifteen runs
14:27
Speaker 2: alone in the Super Regional between seven, eight and nine.
14:30
Speaker 3: You go today.
14:31
Speaker 2: Five of ten four RBIs came from Tyris Hall. But
14:35
Speaker 2: that bottom of the order, our guy, Brody Krusher, friend
14:37
Speaker 2: of this program, comes through with two hits on the
14:41
Speaker 2: offensive side. So you're right, Hobby, seven eight nine has
14:44
Speaker 2: been carrying this lineup along and allowing the other guys
14:47
Speaker 2: to do what they do. But seven eight nine has
14:48
Speaker 2: been the difference.
14:49
Speaker 1: Certainly has all right back to Steve Sabans some of
14:52
Speaker 1: his postgame comments following the team's victory earlier today seven
14:57
Speaker 1: to five West Virginia over Troy pitching a Division two
15:01
Speaker 1: last year, what does that say about kind of like
15:03
Speaker 1: roster building in today's game?
15:06
Speaker 6: Really cool?
15:08
Speaker 5: Just the chance the fact that those kids got a
15:11
Speaker 5: chance to go pitch on the biggest stage that there
15:14
Speaker 5: is in college baseball and are both really really talented
15:18
Speaker 5: and have led their teams to Omaha just shows you, like,
15:21
Speaker 5: why are sport's a little bit different? Like skill develops,
15:24
Speaker 5: it's not always just talent, where in some other major sports,
15:28
Speaker 5: talent is always king sometimes just like growth and strength
15:32
Speaker 5: and skill, and when strength meets skill you can start
15:36
Speaker 5: to get really good.
15:37
Speaker 6: And so they're just like this evolution.
15:38
Speaker 5: Of baseball players and that's why you can always see
15:41
Speaker 5: great players at all these different levels. And so if
15:45
Speaker 5: you're courageous enough as a coach, like Skyler meat is,
15:48
Speaker 5: and you can imagine, I think this Division two guy
15:51
Speaker 5: could take us to Omaha without being feeling too crazy,
15:55
Speaker 5: and you really trust your gut and your evaluation.
15:57
Speaker 6: Then those things can happen.
15:59
Speaker 5: And so pretty amazing, like Ian Korn, just like who
16:04
Speaker 5: that guy is and his presence and his.
16:06
Speaker 6: Ability to do that.
16:08
Speaker 5: It's just because he's very talented. He developed a little
16:11
Speaker 5: bit later in his career. And I think a lot
16:13
Speaker 5: of times those D two kids, things haven't always been
16:18
Speaker 5: easy for them, and there's been some adversity along the way,
16:21
Speaker 5: and that matters in this sport, and the development hasn't
16:25
Speaker 5: always been easy. So when you get to a great
16:27
Speaker 5: program that has those resources, they're so thankful for them
16:30
Speaker 5: and they take advantage of them every day. And so
16:33
Speaker 5: for me, I got a little bit of soft spot
16:35
Speaker 5: because I was a walk on at a junior college
16:37
Speaker 5: and I played at Division one and then I ended
16:39
Speaker 5: up playing in a high school that's now D two,
16:42
Speaker 5: and so I just remember, like throughout my journey, there's
16:45
Speaker 5: some guys on the team who you're.
16:46
Speaker 6: Like, I'm pretty sure that guy's like way better.
16:48
Speaker 5: Than the guy that I was at Division one with,
16:50
Speaker 5: or like the three hole for Angelina Junior College, like
16:53
Speaker 5: should be banging in the Big twelve, right, But there's
16:56
Speaker 5: just a lot of factors, whether it's where they're from,
16:59
Speaker 5: or their background, or their grades at that time, or
17:02
Speaker 5: if they were able to play in certain tournaments. So
17:04
Speaker 5: I think part of the fun and recruiting is trying
17:07
Speaker 5: to find those guys that maybe are a little bit undervalued.
17:13
Speaker 5: Noah been a eleven point seven coach, two outs, time
17:17
Speaker 5: run at the plate, and he's the Sun Belt Player
17:19
Speaker 5: of the Year, and you turned to Ben McDougall for
17:21
Speaker 5: his first save of the year.
17:23
Speaker 6: Can you explain that decision?
17:26
Speaker 1: I can.
17:28
Speaker 6: Do goals had ice water in his veins.
17:31
Speaker 5: Man, he's a killer, and he's one of the most
17:33
Speaker 5: quiet guys and most humble guys. And he's from the
17:36
Speaker 5: state of West Virginia, and in every big moment that
17:39
Speaker 5: he's ever been put on put in, he's basically been
17:42
Speaker 5: himself or elevated his game. Four hole for Troy, uh
17:48
Speaker 5: smashed his baseballs and that's what he did the the
17:51
Speaker 5: at bat before when he hit corn for the homer
17:55
Speaker 5: to left center, balls hit about one hundred and fifteen
17:58
Speaker 5: miles an hour, and so matchup wise, we just believe
18:03
Speaker 5: that left handed was better against Janicki in that situation.
18:07
Speaker 5: And it's easy because Corn was kind of not easy.
18:10
Speaker 5: Korn was kind of cruising, and so we knew that
18:13
Speaker 5: Korn was going to face the first three hitters, and
18:16
Speaker 5: if it got to Janicki, we were going to go
18:18
Speaker 5: to McDougall. But after he clips off two quick outs
18:21
Speaker 5: and then it's a walk, you're like, God, damn, I
18:24
Speaker 5: wish we weren't in that spot right because the guy's
18:26
Speaker 5: throwing strikes and handling the moment, and so there's always
18:29
Speaker 5: like that unknown when you bring somebody out of the
18:31
Speaker 5: bullpen in the big moment. It's just with McDougall, he's
18:35
Speaker 5: so convicted and he's been in those moments so many
18:37
Speaker 5: times that we just at the end of the day,
18:40
Speaker 5: what I told myself is like, you're either playing to
18:42
Speaker 5: win or you're playing to lose, essentially, So you got
18:44
Speaker 5: to play to win because it's the right matchup with
18:45
Speaker 5: the right kid, and the extra base is right versus
18:49
Speaker 5: left is completely different. He's he's been a different hitter
18:52
Speaker 5: this year versus left handed fastball, and so we just
18:54
Speaker 5: had we just had to go rip the bandid off and.
18:56
Speaker 1: Do that, Steve Sabins, And we'll be back at the
19:00
Speaker 1: microphone tomorrow as we'll continue these press conferences. West Virginia
19:05
Speaker 1: will learn who it plays later on this evening, Ole
19:08
Speaker 1: Miss was we record just went up one zip, still
19:11
Speaker 1: won nothing over North Carolina. That game just getting underway.
19:15
Speaker 1: But so it's West Virginia and Troy and Ole Miss
19:18
Speaker 1: and North Carolina in that four team bracket. It's a
19:21
Speaker 1: double elimination tournament, just those four. The winner advances to
19:25
Speaker 1: the College World Series the finals, which is best two
19:27
Speaker 1: out of three. Even though we're in Omaha, Hopey does
19:32
Speaker 1: still have an obvious observation, What was it I have won?
19:35
Speaker 4: And maybe it's even maybe it's not the most obvious
19:38
Speaker 4: thing because the obvious thing and we should be talking
19:40
Speaker 4: about Guzman, and we should be talking about Hall, and
19:43
Speaker 4: we should be talking about Creston, We should be talking
19:45
Speaker 4: about corn how about Ben Lunston loss. Great Lumston comes
19:50
Speaker 4: in in the bunch twice, sacrifices twice, advancing the runners
20:00
Speaker 4: and Brad we didn't hear it in the press conference,
20:02
Speaker 4: but coach talked about this and bunting and advancing to
20:06
Speaker 4: the non hole hitter. So expand on that because it
20:10
Speaker 4: doesn't in the stat line. It doesn't you know, Lomston
20:12
Speaker 4: doesn't show up. It's like one at bat, no RBIs
20:16
Speaker 4: one base on balls because he had two sacrifice bunts,
20:19
Speaker 4: but they were huge in this game.
20:21
Speaker 2: Huge is right, and it excuse me, it speaks to
20:24
Speaker 2: the interchangeable parts of this offense. We saw back in
20:27
Speaker 2: regional play at one point Ben Lumpston was up and
20:31
Speaker 2: at what was probably a pretty obvious sacrifice bunt situation,
20:35
Speaker 2: and Steve didn't bun him. He let him swing away
20:37
Speaker 2: and it produced a run scoring double and he was
20:39
Speaker 2: just as hot as anybody. Let the eight hitter in
20:41
Speaker 2: the lineup swing away and came back later, and that's
20:44
Speaker 2: into your number three hitter, who is not normally a
20:47
Speaker 2: sacrifice bunter, and had Schoenfeld put down a perfect sacrifice
20:51
Speaker 2: butt that was flip today. You get in this situation,
20:53
Speaker 2: and Steve talked about it in the post game, said,
20:55
Speaker 2: if you're going to bunt to the nine hitter, you
20:58
Speaker 2: better make sure you're nine hitter can make contacts. So
21:00
Speaker 2: what he's saying there is if you want your number
21:02
Speaker 2: eight guy to put a bunt down to set up
21:05
Speaker 2: the ninth hitter, that ninth hitter has to be good
21:07
Speaker 2: your next fun today to get that and has been.
21:10
Speaker 2: Iris Hall has been as hot as anybody on this
21:12
Speaker 2: club over the last couple of games. And he had
21:14
Speaker 2: four RBIs today. So yeah, Ben Lumston, who's a big guy,
21:17
Speaker 2: it's hard to bunt usually when you're six'. Four he
21:19
Speaker 2: got two great sacrifice bunts down today and it was
21:23
Speaker 2: tremendous and a big key to this.
21:24
Speaker 1: Game do you have like a modified version Of spreads On?
21:28
Speaker 1: STATS i. Do They spreads On stats brought us by

25:14
Speaker 4: And janicky connected with. One that thing was four hundred
25:17
Speaker 4: plus one hundred.
25:18
Speaker 1: Nine miles off the bat.
25:19
Speaker 3: Well and that's why the McDougall appearance.
25:22
Speaker 2: Is even more more impressis he's come in And janicky's
25:26
Speaker 2: up is the tying, run and you bring McDougall in
25:29
Speaker 2: in a high leverage situation, again he, says, oh is that?
25:31
Speaker 1: Right is that?
25:32
Speaker 2: Right some bell player appreciate your good. Player just gonna handle,
25:35

25:37
Speaker 2: Yeah janicki's very. Good McDougall, SAID i got you on that.
25:40
Speaker 2: One speaking of off the BAT i don't have the
25:43
Speaker 2: number in front of me on What Sean smith was
25:46
Speaker 2: on his exit, Velo but watching a highlight of that,
25:49
Speaker 2: thing you couldn't see the bat. Swing he swung so
25:53
Speaker 2: fast through the. ZONE i mean he came through and hammered.
25:56
Speaker 2: It so again another how many great performances were forty
25:59
Speaker 2: minutes in the show and just now mentioning a big
26:00
Speaker 2: home run From Sean.
26:01
Speaker 4: That was big because that tied it up at. Four
26:03
Speaker 4: that was huge because that was a response By West
26:05
Speaker 4: virginia after going down in the top of the.
26:08
Speaker 3: Inning it was a great.
26:09
Speaker 1: CounterPunch i certainly don't want to jump on top of
26:11
Speaker 1: spreads on, stats BUT i geek out on the stat broadcast.
26:15
Speaker 1: Numbers let me just give you a couple of, okay
26:17
Speaker 1: just for to show you how close of a game it.
26:19
Speaker 1: Was struck out Looking West virginia four of nine And
26:25
Speaker 1: texas Or troy was three of. Six West virginia had two,
26:29
Speaker 1: players two base runners reach off of an air two out,
26:35
Speaker 1: RBIs two out. RBIs West virginia had. One troy had
26:39
Speaker 1: four left on, Base troy, Eight West virginia six overall.
26:43
Speaker 1: Hitting The mountaineers for the game batted two eighty, One
26:46
Speaker 1: troy two sixty. Five batting with two, Outs troy batted
26:51
Speaker 1: four hundred six and. Fifteen West virginia was it two Hundred.
26:55
Speaker 3: Stop that right.
26:57
Speaker 2: There that's an amazing number that you were able will
27:00
Speaker 2: hold them. Off they were producing with runners in these
27:02
Speaker 2: positions and you were, not and you were able to
27:05
Speaker 2: get the. Win that's huge right. There that's a that's
27:07
Speaker 2: a sneaky.
27:08
Speaker 3: Underlying reason why you won the game right. There that number.
27:11
Speaker 1: Runners in scoring. Position they batted four Hundred West virginia
27:15
Speaker 1: two twenty. Two now Leadoff troy two on two of.
27:19
Speaker 1: Eleven West virginia batted four HUNDRED i should, say five
27:23
Speaker 1: hundred from the leadoff spot for the, game four out of.
27:27
Speaker 1: EIGHT a couple of other numbers THAT i thought were
27:31
Speaker 1: significant total pitches were almost Identical troy pitchers through one thirty.
27:35
Speaker 1: Seven West virginia through one thirty. Four strike Percentage West
27:39
Speaker 1: virginia is sixty six. Percent strike percentage For. Troy West
27:43
Speaker 1: virginia sixty five.
27:44
Speaker 2: Percent so that speaks to how closely this game was
27:47
Speaker 2: played as. Well both teams were throwing strikes in, there
27:49
Speaker 2: and this Was this is the stats bear out that
27:52
Speaker 2: this was a great back and forth game between two
27:54
Speaker 2: really good.
27:55
Speaker 3: Teams no, surprise, guys you're in The College World.
27:57
Speaker 1: Series West virginia did not commit an. Air, therefore they
27:59
Speaker 1: had a one thousand uh fielding. Percentage troy, did and
28:04
Speaker 1: they had a fielding percentage of nine to forty. One
28:09
Speaker 1: let me just see here extra base hits. Allowed West
