Down But Not Out
Rough start for the Titans tonight.
The good guys dropped their opening game of the College World Series in a heartbreaking 7-5 loss in 13 innings to North Carolina.
It was an ominous game from the get go as the Titans fell behind 4-2 after the first two innings. But the team rallied back to take a 5-4 lead in the third on a three-run home run by Jared Clark. North Carolina then tied the game at 5-5 in the fifth and the score would remain that way until the Tarheels took the lead for good with a two-run 13th inning.
And while the final results were a downer, the pre-game festivities certainly were not.
I swung by the Titan House -- a gathering point for Titan fans and alumni -- around 1 p.m. There, myself and probably close to a 100 other Titan supporters mingled, ate some good barbecue, watched the early baseball game between Clemson and Georgia Tech and had an all-around great time. CSUF President Milton Gordon even made a special appearance and rallied support for the team.
The Titan House is a wonderful place for Titan fans to spend time together, and I'll have more on the house later this weekend.
But it's just past 12:30 a.m. on Friday night, and after spending most of the day on my feet in the hot sun, I'm pooped.
So I'm going to head to bed, but I'll be back at Rosenblatt Stadium on Sunday at 11 a.m. Pacific time to cheer the Titans on as they hope to avoid elimination against Georgia Tech. Hopefully the team can get rolling and continue their run toward another national title.
