Default Norwood's blast

The VU bench troop is a treat indeed. I was able to attend the Super Regional at Vandy against Stanford and sat in LF where they do their bowling, field goal, and hole in one chip theatrics. Super fun crew.

As for the inside chin high bomb from Norwood, I can't imagine anyone hitting that 97mph offering over the fence. I bet Norwood wouldn't hit that same pitch over if he had another 999 tries. It's just that one... Crazy and historic finish. What a great series... Virginia had the better hitting team overall top to bottom. VU did what it had to do on the pitching and small ball side. Both teams werre worthy of the ring.
