The Bucknell baseball team won the Patriot League tournament as the #4 seed over the weekend and have now gained an unlikely birth in the NCAA Tournament. Bucknell has a 26-33 record this year and will likely be playing the top seeded team in the country in the Regional. In 2008 the Bison beat Florida St in the first game but then lost their next two and were unable to advance to the Super Regionals. One has to think that there will not be any magic this year but hey, anything can happen in double elimination tournaments. While beating Kansas will always be the best David-Goliath upset of all time, advancing to the Super Regionals will be nothing short of a once in a lifetime miracle.
I'm throwing all my support behind the team after the lacrosse team choked away a 4-0 lead in the PL final only to see the team that beat them, Army, take out #2 Syracuse in the first round. Could have been us, boys. So baseball, let's get it done.
