facebook twitter googleplus tumblr pinterest The NCAA Baseball Tournament resumed Friday with the start of the Super Regionals. The round of 16 continues Saturday with eight games, and at least four games are scheduled for Sunday, although there could be more depending on Saturday’s results in the best-of-three series.  Arkansas, which won the Stillwater Regional, took on Springfield Regional champion Missouri State on Friday. Maryland and Virginia, who won their respective…

Baseball is, by its nature and repute, a sport of civility. Decorum is strictly enforced through unwritten rules, celebrations during the game are generally frowned upon and you’re supposed to tip your hat to the nice people when they cheer for you. There will be nothing civil about Louisiana-Lafayette vs. LSU in Baton Rouge on Saturday night. The two schools, separated by 58 miles of swampland and decades of…

BOSTON — A fan whose head was bloodied by a broken bat that flew into the stands at Fenway Park was in the hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. The game between the Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox was halted in the middle of the second inning Friday as emergency crews tended to the woman and wheeled her off the field on a stretcher. Oakland’s Brett Lawrie broke his…

“Just know, 1976 was the last time Washington State’s been to Omaha. I think that’s far too long.” Welcome to Pullman, Marty Lees. Less than a week and a half after athletic director Bill Moos opened the position of head baseball coach by firing Donnie Marbut, he was standing at the podium introducing his new coach Wednesday. Moos is famous for always keeping a short list of coaches on…

After the Los Angeles Regional, most people just figured Maryland center fielder Lamonte Wade was a cleat-wearing superhero. In the span of four days, we’d seen make an insane home run theft, hose two guys at the plate and knock two pitches out of the park. So as Wade barreled toward the left-center wall in the eighth inning against Virginia — tracking a ball that, if caught, would snuff out…

A baseball fan sitting in the stands at Boston’s Fenway Park was seriously injured when she was hit by a broken bat on Friday night. The woman was bleeding from the head as she was carried out on a stretcher, and police said her injuries were life threatening, the Associated Press reports. She was hit in the second inning by a bat that broke after a swing by Brett Lawrie…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If the Vanderbilt Commodores are going to reach Omaha, Nebraska, and have a chance to defend their national championship at the College World Series, they must do something this program has never managed. Win a Super Regional on the road. Not that coach Tim Corbin and the Commodores sound the least bit daunted by the pressure of trying to follow up their feat…

CLEMSON, SC (FOX Carolina) - Clemson University’s director of athletics announced Thursday that the university was parting ways with head baseball coach Jack Leggett. Leggett led the Tigers’ baseball program for 22 years. Leggett had 955 wins during that time and took the Tigers to the College World Series six times, the last time being in 2010, according to a news release. “This decision was not an easy one,” said…

The sun was out, the Twins were fighting for first place and Mona Mitchell came out of the gift shop at Target Field with a new team T-shirt. She had already bought tickets for two upcoming games, and she was flirting with buying more. “I love it when you go to a game that matters,” she said. It has been four years since the Twins have played games that mattered,…

I’ll be honest: as thrilling as last weekend’s 101-game, Bases Loaded-surfing, nonstop first round was, it’s kind of relaxing to open up Friday’s super regional slate and see just four games on the schedule. This time last Friday, we were bracing for a 32-game onslaught, with as many as eight games on at a time. With only two contests overlapping each other today, we’ll be able to sit back and…

Beating the top overall seed in the NCAA baseball tournament in consecutive seasons has significant benefits, Maryland Coach John Szefc said. It certainly will have an impact on recruiting and also could help jump-start renovations to the team’s 50-year-old home stadium, Shipley Field, which Szefc said “needs a lot of upgrades.” But the immediate payoff from Monday’s 2-1 win at UCLA is a repeat trip to the super regionals against…

Part of life as a small-market, low-revenue team like the Cleveland Indians is experimentation. Papering over mistakes with more cash simply isn’t an option, so it forces creativity, ingenuity and, most important, unanimity. No organization in baseball embraces and applies new ideas quite like the Indians, and what’s already the richest starting staff in the game is bound to get better because of it. With Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Danny…

And then there were 16. Down from 64 teams in the span of just four action-packed days, the college baseball tournament’s chaotic first round coasts into the less frenetic super regional round. For those new to this tourney, a super regional consists of two teams playing a best of three series at the home stadium of the host site. The winners of each of the eight supers advance to…

LSU has ruled the Southeastern Conference — and the nation — in paid baseball attendance for decades. Now the team can claim the Internet, too. LSU baseball games this year drew more digital viewers than any other sports event broadcasted on the SEC…

Jack Leggett will not be retained as Clemson’s head baseball coach, Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich announced today. Leggett served for 22 years at the helm of the Clemson baseball program, winning 955 games and advancing to the College World Series six times with the last appearance in 2010. “This decision was not an easy one,” Radakovich said. “Jack Leggett has served this institution with distinction for 24 years, the…

COLUMBUS, Ohio – St. Ignatius baseball saw its season come to an end in a 10-5 loss to Westerville Central in an OHSAA Division I state semifinal at Huntington Park in Columbus on Thursday morning. Westerville Central’s offense shone from the first inning, when St. Ignatius pitcher Connor Adams started the game with two walks, leading to a bases loaded scoring opportunity for Noah West on an infield dribbler. It…

The airplane’s aisle served as the border between Maryland and Virginia’s baseball teams, both thrust into the unusual situation of having to share a charter flight back from Los Angeles just days before playing each other in the super-regional round of the NCAA tournament. The Terrapins sat on one side of the plane, less than 24 hours removed from knocking off No. 1 overall seed UCLA in the Los Angeles…
