COLLEGE BASEBALL

OMAHA – It's a long way to travel to watch two losses. Thanks to a few big plays, I didn't have to.

If you were watching the College World Series game between UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton on ESPN2 Monday afternoon, you know what I mean.

For the longest time, it looked like Irvine, the school I traveled from Spokane to Omaha to watch, would go out in two games.
