Letting My Maize-and-Blue Flag Fly

I know we traffic in the Detroit Tigers and Major League Baseball here, but since I spent most of my evening agonizing over post-season college baseball, I feel the need to share my joy.

Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines baseball team, who defeated Vanderbilt, 4-3, last night to advance to the Super Regionals of the NCAA Tournament.  Their next opponent will be the winner of tonight's Oregon State-Virginia game.

Rich Maloney's squad took the lead when freshman Alan Oaks (who had all of 48 at-bats for the season) crushed a pitch from soon-to-be #1 draft pick David Price over the left-field fence for a pinch-hit home run.  The Commodores were the #1 overall seed in the tournament, and the home crowd in Nashville was shocked to see their team go down.  Man, that was one hell of a game.

(Price, by the way, pitched of 1 1/3 innings of relief after throwing 130 pitches on Friday night.  I bet the Devil Rays are thrilled about that.)

Here's a recap from Big Ten Hardball, who has most definitely fueled my growing interest in college baseball over the past year or so.  And here I thought I was already watching all the sports I could take.
