Pirates inch just one win away from Omaha

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.
