Greg Maddux faced 20,421 batters over the course of his career. Only 310 (1.5%) saw a 3-0 count. Of those, over half of them (177) were intentional walks.
Georgia and Mississippi State hit a combined 21 HRs in the Athens Super Regional, the most in a single Super Regional in the last 15 years. The rest of the Super Regionals this year have combined to hit 31 HRs.
Mississippi State lost back-to-back games when hitting 6 HRs. Entering this weekend that had only happened 3 times in the NCAA Tournament in the last 15 years.
I should have posted before the tourney but I wasn’t really impressed with UCLA during the regular season. Won a lot of games but against inferior competition

“This is really the supreme thrill to know that I’m working with three generations, my son and my grandson all at the same time doing a Major League game. If the good Lord said this is your last moment alive, I’d be happy to go.”

Haven’t seen anything quite like a sold out Dudy Noble Field on Super Bulldog Weekend. Jacob Parker grew up about 2 hours from Starkville. Both his parents went to Ole Miss. The Rebels wanted him, the Dawgs got him.
