Baseball game ?

2-0 now. An excuse me type looper over the head of 1B went for a double, scoring runner from 2nd.

Hammer out of the game now after throwing 53 pitches.
 
These single elimination (or close) tournaments are needed for scheduling in college sports. However, by their very nature, in sports like baseball, hockey, basketball they cause too much uncertainty in determining the best teams. All these sports, if a better outcome in deciding a winner was wanted; they would be a series of games like the pros have in their playoffs.

In this case it worked out well for Pitt and they advanced to the ACC semis. It was a great team effort to be proud of but one that might not have been possible in a multi-game playoff against teams with stronger overall rosters.

Basically to make it to the semis Pitt had to pull one massive upset, and one small upset. Georgia Tech would have been no more than a small favorite over us on a neutral field, probably no more than a 55-45 game. The Carolina game, on the other hand...
