Tonight we have the final game of the College World Series. If you haven't paid attention, it's a best-of-three format. The Georgia Bulldogs and Fresno State Bulldogs will square off one final time after Fresno State came back from 5-0 to beat Georgia 19-10.
To understand the Cinderella-type run that Fresno State is on you'd have to understand that they entered the WAC Tournament only six game above .500. Essentially, they needed to win the entire tournament to get to the field of 64...which they did. They were awarded the 4th seed out of four teams in the Long Beach Regional...they won the regional.
I'll put this in college basketball perspective, what they are on the verge of doing is the equivilant of if the University of Minnesota had won the Big Ten Tournament just to get into the tournament, and then proceeding to win all their games leading up to the National Championship game (of course, the WAC tournament, Regional Tournament, and College World Series are double elimination--so it's not EXACTLY the same, but you get the idea).
The game is on ESPN tonight 7pm EST.
