Another amazing finish for the Beavers!

It was supposed to be a "rebuilding year".( They lost almost all of last year's starting players to graduation or the draft).

They struggled in conference play during the season going 10-14. (And thus become the first team to win the national championship with a losing conference record.)

They almost didn't make the play-offs at all, being the last team picked.

And yet, once they reached the College World Series, they took it all without losing a single game.

Way to go Beavs!

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.

Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
