Game 9: Stanford vs. Miami
After eliminating in-state rival Florida State, the Hurricanes looked to keep the momentum going against Stanford. The Cardinal had other plans as they dominated the Hurricanes for a 8-3 victory, eliminating Miami from the College World Series.
Game 10: LSU vs. North Carolina
Tiger pitching struggled in the first inning, allowing two runs and loading the bases. After a nearly three-hour rain delay, the game was suspended and set to be resumed the following night. The Tigers opened the game with a double play to end the threat.
The game was again delayed after more rain found its way to Omaha. At 8:05, the game was finally resumed. The Tar Heels and Tigers battled back and forth until the Tigers loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the eighth. A double play ended the threat to keep the score tied at three.
Tiger pitching allowed North Carolina to load the bases and hit a grand slam to take a 7-3 lead. The Tigers were unable to present another threat and were eliminated from the College World Series.
Game 11: Georgia vs. Stanford
The Bulldogs and Cardinal battled back and forth, but the Bulldogs finally took care of business, winning 10-8 and advancing to the championship series. Stanford was eliminated from the College World Series.
Game 12: Fresno State vs. North Carolina
The Tar Heels needed late inning heroics to beat the Tigers the night before, and they were able to do it again. After the game was delayed by rain, the Tar Heels hit a two-run shot in the eighth to take a 4-3 lead. North Carolina held on to get the win, forcing a do-or-die game on Sunday.
Game 14: Fresno State vs. North Carolina
The Tar Heels were unable to find any late heroics this time, dropping the game 6-1. Although three ACC teams made the College World Series, none of them were able to advance to play for the national championship. The ACC still has only one baseball championship (1955).
Game One: Championship Series - Fresno State vs. Georgia

We drove back from Omaha over the weekend, so I missed most of the other games, but the championship series was pretty good. Even the 19-10 game wasn't too bad to watch. I was pulling for Fresno, but I wasn't going to be upset either way. I watched the whole game, but I could not force myself to watch the celebration. I saw the last out and flipped that station. Hate seeing a dogpile without Tigers! I guess I am just bitter. LOL!
