Could the Josh Uchtmann hire work at Claiborne Christian? The Crusaders had an unceremonious exit in the playoffs in his first season as head coach. But this year? Oh yeah, let’s just say it worked: https://t.co/vNvvIEsluM

Great article Jake! True story. I love @bradyncupit like a son & in that sense, his FR yr brought alot of the gray n the beard. But i had to change approach w him & he also grew a ton. He made me a better coach. Was always talented, but he became unhittable when he figured it out

[Jake Martin @JakeMartinOC]

So many great nuggets in this story. Candid convos with @bradyncupit and @Bachord24 detailed struggles in the pitcher/coach relationship early. But something beautiful blossomed from it. Plus I never get tired of telling the " uneven mound" story:

"Hopefully we won't have to worry about the at large bid. We are going to just win the tournament next year." @ULM_Softball Elle Carter on getting left out of the tournament. We loved having the former Neville star in the @MorningDrive318 studio. @molly_fichtner @JakeMartinOC

Richwood found its next head man in Stanley Smith. The former Ferriday Trojan led his alma mater to a state championship in 2019:

Ridge Coats had his junior season cut short due to a knee injury. Well... Let's just say he made up for lost time his senior year:

Down goes UCLA. The moment with Cholowsky and the ball boy afterwards made @tmartin014 tear up. College baseball continues to deliver in the postseason!

Between watching squeeze play and watching @Coach_EdOrgeron recruiting content on Twitter, this has been a fantastic sports day.

@CondonBeingReal Thanks man!

[Jake Martin @JakeMartinOC]

Proud of my birthday girl!

[Jake Martin @JakeMartinOC]

Been preaching it for years. You want upsets? Look no further.

[Brent Achord @Bachord24]

I’ll say it again. You can have March Madness. Give me #NCAA regional baseball. These early games have been incredible.
