As two wins away, goes to one win away, Cliff Godwin and his Pirates’ baseball team can taste the first College World Series in program history with a 8-6 victory over the No. 5 seed Texas Tech.
What a game for the Pirates. It was the biggest win in program history. The Pirates were previously 0-6 in the super regionals. Now they are just one win away from head coach Godwin, and subsequently his late-coach coach Keith LeClair’s, dream of wearing number 23in purple and gold in Omaha.
The first inning and a half were pretty quiet for both sides.
