Burleson mops it up with a K and a double play ball (6-4-3) to end the game.

Just a solid, solid performance by the boys today - they really took care of business, and Jerry was nails as usual.

One down, two to go!!  :-D

From the ORU media guide:

"ORU made a splash in its initial CWS game, routing North Carolina 11-0 on June 3, 1978. Center fielder Vince Bienek went 3-for-5 with a double, triple and four RBI for ORU and Ron Meridith hurled a complete game shutout for the Titans, fanning eight batters."

But that of course takes nothing away from today's game, which was one of the more dominant performances in ORU NCAA baseball history.

TheEagleman went to ORU with Ron Merideth and was even in a couple classes with him my Sr. year....he was a nice guy and a good pitcher....I guess that is the only game ORU has ever won in the CWS.... :-P

Of Course ORU is TOUGH!

The coach is Rob Walton, an alumnus of Rutherford HS in the Bergen County Scholastic League - American Division here in New Jersey.  :-D

Yeah, it looks like my information was a little "bogus".  I guess I should just wait for the print version of the hype to come out and see if it changes between the time it's received and the time it makes it into a copyrighted source, huh??  :-D

Oh, I was just having a little fun - I figured you probably meant largest victory margin in Regional play, which is true and has been stated correctly in several recaps this morning.

Here ya go - from ORUGoldenEagles.com:

TEMPE, Ariz. – The Oral Roberts University baseball team pounded out 18 hits and posted its largest margin of victory in a NCAA Regional contest with a 13-3 victory over Cal Poly on Friday afternoon at Packard Stadium.

I thought I heard Geoff say it the other way as well, though, Bogus.  In reality, we're only talking about a one run difference, but for accuracy sake, I guess you have to make the distinction.

In the next game of the '78 CWS, ORU jumped out to a 5-0 lead but eventually lost by a run to who??... Anybody want to take a guess?  :-P

Arizona State:  stinkin' Bob Horner (All-American and eventual Atlanta Braves star) hit a grand slam the very next inning...  :cry:

Great "Q", alum - I had to look it up -

ORU lost to ASU, 7-6, and were eliminated by Miami, 5-3.
