Rough ending for India. Didn't block the throw from Alonso that allowed a run to score, and then gets hosed to end the game. Wow.

UF is 10-50 in the CWS. Holy cow that's some serious suckage

Can't blame him for trying to stretch it into a double. Force the left fielder to make a throw, and that's exactly what he did.
Honestly, even if that error hadn't happened, the runner from 3rd would have scored on the ground out by the next hitter. The error on the throw to first was the killer.
Which happened to have been by India as well haha
We became the 4th school with 10 CWS appearances and 0 titles. Not a good list to be on.
I turned it off after that horrific multiple error round robin infield bullsh*t.
All is not lost guys, have a feeling we will be back again next year.
Really hate that we play at that huge field where scoring is hard to come by. Kinda reminds me of when they play college basketball tourney games in huge arenas.

Yea that one went over my head for some reason. That's on me and I'll get it fixed.
Yeah he hit that a country mile.
It's not just coaching on how to approach a pitch, we need to adjust how our batters approach an entire at bat.
I'll say it again, there's a reason why the pitchers we faced were way down in the pitch count compared to ours by the 5th or 6th inning and it's not as simple as well we didn't get hits.
Yea we didn't, but we also do a
job of working the pitcher. I see a lot of quick swings that turn into quick outs. Sometimes it's more important to make the guy throw 4 or 5 pitches than to simply swing at the first pitch bc it's in the general area. We didn't make the pitchers work in either game. Both teams made ours work, hard. Eventually it paid off.

Very disappointing. I just can't understand how the batters can take pitches right down the middle of the zone and then swing at a pitch 2 feet outside or a pitch in the dirt they would need a shovel to hit. A lot of great pitching wasted by this team.
