One Win Away

Today was an amazing day for baseball. It was mostly cloudless, and boy the sun was scorching hot. I sat as far down the 3rd base line as you can, and it turned out to be a great view for Matt Smith's dramatic, game-winning homer in the bottom of the 12th. Me and everyone else in the stadium were frustrated all day by the Virginia lefty, because he couldn't throw the ball over the plate, yet we couldn't get any hits or funs off of him. Many innings and 4 hours later, the Rebels are once again one win away from reaching Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium. It's been a long, tough year following this balanced team of baseball Rebs, and now it all falls on the shoulders of the superb sophomore Drew Pomeranz. I don't expect him to go very deep into the game since he hasn't had a lot of rest lately, but he might surprise me, especially since Jake Morgan pitched 3 scoreless innings with a broken nose today. It's time to head to the ballpark tomorrow morning and cheer the Rebs on to Omaha!
