    JerronCarney my Golden Chickens advanced to the super regionals!! – 1st time ever – Miracles still do happen.

Several notable, highly-seeded teams (Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, UC Irvine) lost in the four-team regional format to the surprise of some and the dismay of others:

    ESPNDariNowkhah Wow – OU getting BLASTED! 11-0 Razorbacks in the 9th – looks like a SuperRegional for Arkansas… But the Dodgers are rolling!
