Congrats to coach Tim Corbin and his staff for bringing Vandy their first national championship in baseball. For years, maybe going back to the Mark Prior years, it seems like they have been developing great pitchers and advancing them into the pro ranks. Lets hope that trend continues for Tyler Beede with the Giants.
It was definitely a different College World Series from the gorilla ball days. We've gone from blasting to bunting in a decade or so. Given the lack of scoring, you would think the games would be a wee bit shorter and less tedious to watch. At least with a football score, you get a little bit more excitement for your 3 1/2 hours of time. Something to watch out for in the future, how this effects viewership and attendance.

Norwood, Ravenelle Lead Vanderbilt To First CWS Championship - BaseballAmerica.com:
Corbin and his fine coaching staff have built a model program in part through their incredible ability to recruiting marquee players with winning makeup. The current groups of sophomores and juniors both rated as the No. 1 recruiting classes in college baseball when they showed up on campus in the falls of 2011 and 2012. Vanderbilt has gotten plenty of meaningful contributions from talented freshmen in recent years, but Norwood and righthander Adam Ravenelle were raw talents when they arrived in Nashville in 2011, and both played sparingly for loaded Vandy teams over their first two seasons.
