A Diamond in the Rough?

Personally............

I really don't care much for college baseball. I call it the "ping" league......As in that awful "ping" sound those aluminum bats make when it comes in contact with a baseball.

Plus.......all the great prospects and best players are scooped up by major league franchises and signed to minor league contracts to hone and develop their skills.......with wooden bats....thank you.....

That being said.......the University of Georgia baseball team.....known affectionately around here as the "Diamond Dawgs"....sure put on a show these last 3 days.

Georgia ( SEC regular season champs) hosted a Regional in Athens......and promptly lost the first game of the double elimination tournament in the first game played. That meant the Dogs could not lose again.....they had to win out.

And win..........they did. Saturday saw Georgia come from behind to beat Louisville. Sunday the Dogs won the rematch with Lipscomb and the shut out Georgia Tech that night.

In Monday night's final........again the Dogs were matched against their fierce rivals.....those Yellow Jackets from Atlanta. The stars were aligned ........Georgia destroyed Tech, 18-6.

Next..........The Dogs host N C State in a Super Regional.....the winner goes on to Omaha, Nebraska..........host of the College World Series.......

Who knows?
