Rosenblatt Stadium - Omaha, NebraskaI won't say I called it exactly, but I strongly hinted at this back in February. More on today's domination later. Paul was at the game, so I'm sure he'll have a full report soon. Awesome, awesome performance.

Westerdawg Update: Just got in. Best college baseball "vibe" I've witnessed in person. My favorite moment...in the 7th inning Georgia was up huge. The team was enraged by the NC State pitcher hitting Lyle Allen after Joey Lewis' home run in the 6th inning. Opening batter in the 7th is Peisel who homers for Georgia to make the lead 13-3. After a single by Olson, Gordon Beckham comes to the plate for what we assume is his last at bat in Foley Field.
The crowd rises for a classic Georgia salute and begins chanting "Let's go Gordo." Beckham steps out of the box to enjoy the moment every so briefly, and then launches a rocket ship home run. The crowd drops into pandemonium with a curtain call for Beckham. Now THAT is how you end your career.
