Huge win(and probably monkey off their back)over an extremely good ballgame. No let down..keep it gone.
I added several more gray hairs to the many I already had, but a great win nonetheless.
Great win for the Heels! Made all the plays they needed to make to get the W.

Good Win today... Was at work for a lot of it but see besides the 1st inning we took advantage of our opportunities and beaks to score... Hate to see Luca possibly reinjure his arm... Going to need big effort out of Game 2 starter(Bergner??) to get a W and get us some time off to help the relievers
I'm not certain how I went back to 4. But I was being prodded by the wife to start the grill.
That's a huge win because in the post-season so far Oregon St had looked best in the country. Every player knows that, which means all these guys know that if they avoid bad breaks, they can be CWS champs.
Now that is a most impressive statistic.
Well u are telling the right person about food. I’m the one that posts food pics on FB

Thought that game would never be over. The 3rd inning seemed like it lasted an hour. I knew we had to be approaching a record for a 9 inning game.
I’m this day and age, we need a feel good story. I sure miss my dad.
ESPN with a good article about UNC.
Here's to Tim Criswell getting better every day and Cooper Criswell starring for us through next year's CWS.
