Message: [QUOTE="orangetom, post: 299386, member: 246"] Au contraire! In the Coral Gables losers bracket, Stony Brook trailed both Missouri State and Central Fla by five runs in elimination games. They battled back to win those games to reach the finals where they beat Central Fla again to advance to Baton Rouge. I would also consider them battling back after losing the first game to LSU in 12 innings. In that 12 inning game, LSU hit solo home runs in the bottom of the 9th, 10th, and 11th innings to tie and extend the game. Then the game is suspended by rain after 11 innings to the next morning where they quickly lost in the 12th inning. Furthermore, an hour after losing the 12 inning game, they then faced and beat the 4th pick (1st pitcher) taken in the MLB draft. all in front of 11K+ fans. I would say they had guts and battled back. [/QUOTE]
