Arizona Wildcats one win away from title
The Arizona Wildcats did everything right tonight. They received outstanding pitching from their starter, put together key hits -- the first one coming from Robert Refsynder who provided a two-run homer in the first inning, and added some remarkable defensive plays through out the game. The result: Arizona beats South Carolina 5-1 at the College World Series in Omaha and takes a 1-0 edge in the best of three series to determine the national champion. South Carolina, the returning College World Series champion from 2010 and 2011, couldn't solve the offerings of right-hander Konner Wade, who pitched another gem as he went the distance, allowing just six hits, walking one and striking out three batters. As for the Arizona Wildcats, they bang out 12 hits and looked, at times, as if they were locked in at the plate, treating all the Gamecocks' pitchers the same. See the ball, hit the ball, which is pretty much what the Wildcats have done since the season started. Arizona will face the Gamecocks' best pitcher tomorrow night. Michael Roth will get his chance to dismantle the Arizona hitters. Or, will it be the other way around? The Wildcats are one win away from the title. Go, Wildcats!
