Poor Arkansas

Arkansas has never won a college world series. Tonight looked like it would happen. 9th inning, 2 outs, a one run lead, Oregon State has the tying run on third. And a foul pop up along the first base line. Catch it and be a champion. Three go after it: first baseman, second baseman, right fielder. No one calls for it. The ball drops. Not an out, a strike. Batter still alive. Naturally he drives in the tying run.

But there's more to this game that should have been over. Two pitches later, a 2 run home run! And Oregon State wins 5-3.

3rd and deciding game tomorrow. And Arkansas can weep tonight about turning an easy foul out into the 3 stooges on the ball field. Amazing.
