Cinderella Wins the World Series
Cinderella just won the College World Series. In an impressive showing, the Fresno State Bulldogs have won the National Championship. Yes, a Bulldogs team that was ranked 89th in RPI! Fresno State has been the underdogs throughout the NCAA playoffs and never stopped, even when faced with elimination multiple times they’ve stepped up.
Justin Wilson’s effort in the game was outstanding. The lefty was making every Georgia Bulldog left-handed hitter look ugly. None of the team’s left-handers had decent swings against him. When approached after the 7th inning by the coach, he refused to be taken out, even after over 110 pitches.
Then there’s Tommy Mendonca. The third-bagger was absolutely amazing during the series with the bat. Although he had some ugly swings against the left-handed Georgia starter, he was an absolute vacuum on defense. Even with four dislocated fingers in his throwing hand, he was stellar at the hot corner.
But the story of the game definitely has to be Sean Detwiler. The hustling right fielder has been playing with a complete tear in a tendon of his glove hand for the past seven weeks. Yet he was on fire during the finals of the CWS. He had three homers, including two in the final game. But it didn’t stop there, he also had a double and a single. He was absolutely amazing, accounting for all six of the Fresno State runs on the night.
Congrats, Cinderella, you were amazing and you deserved it.
