  1. Good point that. RT @ChuckGamble1968: @DarrylSlater OU is the last team to beat USC in the post-season. 20 games ago.
  2. Just listened to this wild Cal baseball radio call from last year. You must check it out. Hilarious. youtube.com/watch?v=YHsvdS…
  3. Oklahoma vs. Appalachian State tomorrow is at 4. If Oklahoma wins, the rematch is at 8.
  4. So No. 1 Regional seed Virginia lost to Oklahoma tonight. Oklahoma must beat Appalachian State twice to earn a trip to Columbia.
  5. The three USC players who will almost certainly turn pro -- Walker, Marzilli, Price. Maybe Holmes too.
  6. Covering dramatic, well-played games like the past two days' makes you remember that these two words are an oxymoron: twitter.com/DarrylSlater/s…
  7. Ray Tanner again says after today's game that he expects junior CF Evan Marzilli to turn pro and for Tanner English to play CF next year.
  8. Our web story. RT @postandcourier USC beats Clemson, will move on to Super Regionals #chssports #clemson #gamecocks j.mp/Loqja7
  9. 13-3 -- USC last year in one-run games. RT @TravHaneyESPN 13-4 last year, right?
  10. Webb on Will Lamb's "soft" comment from last year: "That’s in the past. I don’t think you need any extra motivation for this great rivalry."
  11. Time to write the game story from USC's 4-3 Regional-clinching win over Clemson. Lots more wiggle room than last night, in terms of time.
  12. So 43.3 percent of USC's games this season have been decided by one run, compared to 23.2 percent last season.
  13. USC now 43-17 this year and 14-12 in one-run games, including 2-0 the past two days. USC has won nine straight one-run NCAA tourney games.
  14. Ray Tanner said he sees the biggest sign of growth with this team through the younger players engaging him in conversation more now.
  15. Tanner said that eventually, Tanner English could still 35 or 40 bases. "He's tough on himself," Tanner said. Wants English to "stay level."
  16. "He was better than filling in nicely. He was spectacular back there." -- Tanner on Dante Rosenberg. Brought him up unprompted.
  17. "It's gratifying that we became a better team," Tanner said of the growth of his young group.
  18. Tanner: "Chase is one of those guys that he's not blessed with tremendous ability, but he gets everything he can out of the body he's got."
  19. "It's probably going to take me years to reflect back and go, 'Wow, that was a pretty good run,'" Ray Tanner said of NCAA win streak.
  20. Tanner said that for the first time in Webb's career, he told Tanner that he was good and wanted to stay in the game. Rare assertiveness.
