BASEBALL 2010 LA REGIONAL DAY 3 v UC-I 4pm, v UCLA 8pm

The winner of the game between the 1-1 teams DOES go to the final. However, they have to beat the undefeated team (UCLA in this case) twice. That's the price you pay for losing a game in a double elimination. If this were a single elimination tournament, UCLA would already be the champ. No reason to punish them by making it so that LSU/UCI only have to beat them once.

 

Ok, that's what it is then the game at 8 is a part of the finals it's just played today instead of tomorrow. I should've known that. For some reason I was thinking that the game tonight was before the finals and just played because the NCAA is full of idiots.

 

oh, they are. its just that this time the reason is legit with double elimination. :grin:

 

LOS ANGELES - Junior right-hander Ben Alsup (5-0, 3.00) will be the starting pitcher for LSU when it faces UC Irvine in an elimination game Sunday at 4 p.m. in the NCAA Los Angeles regional.

Right-hander Evan Brock (5-4, 3.00) will start for the Anteaters. Both pitchers saw action in Friday's game between the two, won by LSU, 11-10, in 11 innings.

Really, Watkins for Katz? Really?

 

Top of the 3rd:

LSU 0-0-0
UCI 1-3-0

 

Gaudet with a one out double for the first LSU hit.

 

Watkins misses a 2-run HR by inches. He may have had it but the UCLA high school stadium makes it difficult to tell.

This park should NOT qualify for a regional. :dis:
