Skip Johnson has talked a lot about "the dugout" throughout Oklahoma's run, the other guys who haven't seen the field as much as they did during the regular season still supporting their teammates
I asked Skip about that today:
"It's uncommon at every level. I mean, from Little League all the way up. When their kid's not playing, all they hear is the negative energy. These guys really have been selfless."
"Man, if you can teach those young men to be selfless in a selfish world, is really big to me. It's really big to me. When nobody cares who gets the credit, you can do amazing things. It's pretty amazing."

Ben McDonald with a great story on failing on the biggest stage and bouncing back.
“I never failed at anything in my life…”
Then came the College World Series, a walk-off, an opposing coach talking trash and a punch in the gut he needed.

Pitt snubbed from NCAA Baseball Tournament. Had an RPI which is big metric used by committee. Or used to be. Better than ACC teams Virginia Tech and NC State. Who both got in. Pitt last made tourney in 1995. Coach Mike Bell and his players many from Pittsburgh got a raw deal.
The road to the @NCAAd3baseball championship begins for @wjathletics Friday hosting regional action and facing the University of Chicago.
The @PAC_Athletics champion Presidents are led by @EFWarriors alum Luke Alvarez who is on a hot streak at the plate and on the mound.
Final from Newport News
Washington and Jefferson (23-6) 82
Mount Union (23-4) 77
The PAC champions eliminate the OAC champions in this all-region VII 1st Round matchup. The Presidents move on.
