Bill Brass, Sandy Venable, and I walked on the Levy Trail this morning for 1:06:23. Our conversations centered on the Arkansas Razorbacks' baseball team. Last night, with a one-game lead in the best-of-three College World Series championship series, Arkansas led 3-2 with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the ninth. The batter hit a sky-high foul ball that dropped right between three Razorbacks, any one of whom could have made the catch and most likely would've had this one motherfucker not come dashing out the blue to call everyone off and then overrun the ball and let it drop. The batter who should've been out then singled to tie the score. The next guy walked, and the fellow after him hit the ball to Wyoming to force Game 3 tonight. It's on ESPN at 5:30 p.m., one game for the whole ball of marbles. As you can imagine, everyone around here is pretty excited. Arkansas has never won a national baseball championship. It lost in the final game in 1979, 1-0 to Cal State-Fullerton. Here we go again. My best guess is that Oregon State wins, 400-2.
RESULT Oregon State won, 5-0
