BASEBALL MAKES HISTORY
"Hjelle was special at the end. Our ace certainly out did theirs and it really hurt them that Adler was used up. So happy we get this win." -- allenctynimdrod
"Only threw 35 pitches to get through 3.1 innings, VERY impressive." -- dkingsland967
"That was reminiscent of Randy Johnson coming out and closing out the Yankees with the DBacks. Not the same but damn, riding that big fella the last few and he was flat out brilliant. That 9th was filthy.
This team's resolve is truly impressive. What a run the last few days, proud of this team, that's not an easy task." -- Goo19
"biggest win in school history. What an incredible test of mental toughness. No matter what happens from here this group has been tremendous. UL is 100% legit but this group will go toe to toe and not flinch. Gonna be a helluva series." -- Goo19
"...UK really should be hosting a Super and not playing UL until Omaha." -- YouKay
"So 5 SEC teams in the final 16? Impressive." -- YouKay
"Louisville will be the home team first game, UK second, Louisville third if necessary." -- Derek Terry
"It goes without saying I'm proud of the team. Unbelievable performance tonight with hitters battling through tough luck early to manufacture runs later in the game, and flat out gritty performances by the three pitchers.
Also very proud of the crowd. It flat out brought it last night and tonight. Big-time atmosphere and home field advantage." -- DubyaT
"CB3, I say this in all seriousness...my buddy and I were at every game of the regional and it was the most fun I've every had attending a UK sporting event...crowds were absolutely awesome and the stadium was rocking!!!" -- sluggercatfan
On the strength of the SEC...
"So far it is showing through. 6 out of 8 SEC teams made it out of the Regionals when only 4 were hosting. Interestingly, Auburn and Arkansas were the two that didn't make it out of the Regionals. They were leading the West at one point but had the weakest SOS also. Arkansas is the only SEC team that didn't make it out of their own Regional. So 6 SEC teams are into the Supers. There are 3 ACC teams left, 1 Big 12 team, 2 Big West teams, 1 PAC12 team, 1 MVC, 1 Southland, and 1 A10 team.
Think about this. Only four conferences had fewer teams eliminated out of the Regionals than the SEC and that would be the Big West, MVC, Southland, and A10 Conferences who all had 2 or fewer teams in the tournament. The ACC, Big 12, Big 10, PAC12, and American Conferences had more teams eliminated despite having fewer teams in. The Big East and C-USA had two teams in and two eliminated matching the SEC." -- Old_Red
