Fresno State Defeats Georgia 6-1 to win CWS (2-1). At least this year's Georgia choke will make people forget about UNC choking in 2006.
Good on ya. I wanted to post this but only found an AP story and then this not-AP one: http://www.kansascity.com/baseball/story/679431.html
Congrats to the Fresno State Bulldogs!!!
WOO HOO!!!
I told you the Bulldogs would win.
Congrats to Fresno State. Maybe one year, UNC will win a CWS.
LOL
Well done Fresno! One of these days the Utes will have a competitive baseball team and I’ll get to go to Omaha. :)
What a AMAZING team effort! This is one for the record books. Congratulations to all involved with the Fresno State Baseball Team.

A very happy night in the home of FR.
Yeah...SEC sucks!
A blogger for the Dayton Daily News wrote a nice column about Tim Tebow about his christian mission work during the summer. Check it out.
Fresno State has some competition to get to the CWS. U.Cal.Irvine & U.Cal. Fullerton both have excellent baseball programs.
Fresno who? Never heard of ‘em,,
Awesome performance - to be the best you have to beat the best - Fresno state went through some impressive competition to get to the National Championship - nobody gave them anything. Lot of guts and determination.
And how many Big 10 teams made it to Omaha? ;)
BTW, thanks for the link to the Tebow article.
All the Big Ten teams got swiftboated. LOL!
Tell that to my Tigers . . . er, pick the sport . . . er, not hockey ya yankee twit.
Great series, Tommy!
AWESOME game Steve!
And Justin???? OMG!! That was a pitching performance for the ages!
What a team! UnbelievaBULLDOGS!!
Well, they made some history. Their win in the CWS is a nice introduction to the world. Keep an eye on their football squad in the fall. There is quiet talk of huge potential for this season.
I kinda like Incredibulldogs. *smile*
I wish I could make it to the celebration tomorrow night but I have Granddaughter enrolled in swim lessons this week. We don’t get home until 7:00. If we stop for an ice cream, it is 8:00.
Amazing dogs!! FResno is so proud!!!
Hi JA!! How ‘bout them ‘Dogs?? Hope to see you this year at the picnic!
Hey ... looking forward to seeing you again.
I’ve been busy this year and haven’t followed the baseball team much.
They made me a believer when they beat Arizona.
We are the Champions, Ta Da. What a great sound!!!
Woo Hoo
Thanks for the ping, Dita.
What an incredible week.
I guess Mayor Autry will be the MC?
California State University, Fresno...The official name of Fresno State.
Congratulations to Fresno State...Good luck next year. Remember Oregon State won two years in a row. (This year Oregon State didn’t make it to the postseason. Poor record.)
I am sure more major leaguers will come out of Fresno State.
Jeff Weaver played at Fresno State...Mark Gardner (Giants) played at Fresno State. His wife played softball at Fresno State...She died of cancer several years ago.
Woo Hoo!
A kid from my son’s high school is a freshman on the team, and Nick Hom is a De La Salle grad as well.
Detwiler is something else.
Congratulations, Bulldogs!
What a champion that kid is.
Just amazing ... he can now have the surgery on his thumb to repair a torn ligament. He played hurt the entire series.
