"You get up one". Others deviate from the norm, and, unfortunately, form into the opposite of what they were the entire season. The Titans are the first team eliminated.
Not surprisingly, Florida State showed no quit after a disappointing loss on Saturday night.
Those walks, combined with seven hits and one hit-by-pitch, gave the Seminoles a team on-base percentage of.400. "Be ready. If we had a little pity party and pointed a couple of fingers, we wouldn't be sitting where we are today".
Typically, Cal State Fullerton patience on the mound can cause some impatience at the plate, but their opponent on Monday afternoon seemed unfazed by anything they threw at them. We definitely got to know the field here at TD Ameritrade, because the last two games I think these guys stood out in every inch of their position for longer than anybody in the history of the two games that we played. "Because it was a nice and lovely day, we'll head back to California with a sun tan, that's for sure".
It was another heart-wrenching loss for the Titans. That trend continued against the Seminoles. The Titans came to Omaha ranked fourth in the country with 2.41 walks per nine innings.
Florida States dugout was a bit deflated after the Seminoles gave up three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to have a two-run lead against Cal State Fullerton turn into a one-run deficit.
Just like the CWS opener against the Beavers, things got dicey in the middle innings. With Taylor Walls on first, Dylan Busby launched a drive to left-center field that Scott Hurst caught, but dropped when he slammed into the wall.
Vanderhook summoned Workman and that's when things unraveled.
Of course, the veteran FSU lineup can swing it, too.
"I said, 'Nobody. This is his game'".
"I tried thinking about it before", he said. "And it was like, dude I can't do that [keep Pabich in the game]".

Haney struck out Hudgins to open the bottom of the seventh, retiring both batters faced and improving to 3-2 on the season. I called it. He didn't mind me calling it because he probably had it on his mind.
"We had the guy on the mound that we wanted", Martin said. And we made a mistake.
Fullerton will enter the game with a 39-23 overall record.
Gavin Velasquez extinguished the threat after Wells' second RBI, sandwiching strikeouts of JC Flowers and Dylan Busby around a walk to Taylor Walls. I mean, they grinded him. "And Quincy's I thought was really, really outstanding". "I'm pretty sure I'm not, but if I'm not mistaken, John didn't throw one off-speed strike". Mendoza came in to score in the second on Steven Wells' two-out single and a second base on balls to the FSU freshman helped load the bases for Wells' sacrifice fly two innings later. "I was looking for fastball still, just seeing if something would pop". "If it's not there, we leave it alone and go to the next one". They work deep counts, control the strike zone, fight off two-strike pitches. So that's not been a problem, and we kind of took that mentality in as well.
On cue, Wells put the next pitch in fair territory and gave the Seminoles an early 1-0 lead.
All those hours spent practicing pitch recognition and plate discipline paid off on Monday, when the Seminoles worked eight free passes from Cal State Fullerton pitchers to bring their season total to 393 - the most in the nation and the most by an FSU team since 2010.
The Titans are again headed home quickly because they strayed from that path at inopportune times.

The Titans won't be that team, but Vanderhook has no regrets.
I know Im 0-4. I knew how hard it was to get here. Fullerton has committed 46 errors in their 62 games.
