Louie Helmburg is a sophomore, and the backup catcher for the Marshall Thundering Herd. He hit .226 last year, with three RBI and four runs scored, and missed part of the season when he fell off a deck at the ATO house after one of the brothers fired a bottle rocket out of his ass. More »

The University of South Carolina held its second straight welcome home rally for its national champion baseball team on Wednesday. Everyone cheered and said nice things about the Gamecocks, and then it was Athletic Director Eric Hyman's turn to speak. Hyman said some more nice things, and then he closed with a celebratory comment about ice cold cocks and symbolically dropped the mic. More »

Woe be any major-league baseball team that doesn't give University of Florida catcher Mike Zunino a shot at the bigs. In May, he nearly beheaded pitcher Brian Johnson with a throw to second base in the conference semifinals. In yesterday's win over Vanderbilt, which clinched a spot in the College World Series finals, Zunino's aluminum bat broke and went flying into the stands. More »

On Monday, Devon Rodriguez singled to right field with Cal down 8-7 in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the bases loaded, and with his hit, the Golden Bears beat Baylor. It was a realization of the moment that every kid dreams of and narrates to himself on the neighborhood's playground diamond. It is unlikely, however, that that imagined narration ever sounds like Danny Fry, an announcer for the Berkeley student radio station KALX. More »

When University of Florida catcher Mike Zunino flung the ball toward second base during yesterday's game against Georgia, it's not like he meant to nail his sophomore pitcher Brian Johnson behind the ear or anything. He just did. More »

Golly. Augie Garrido sure gets steamed. I guess you can't argue with the results: Garrido has more wins than any NCAA Division I coach in baseball history, along with five national championships. This video is old and pulled from a Richard Linklater documentary that aired some time ago on ESPN (after being edited, one can only imagine, into some kind of Disney-fied gruel) is circulating about the internets. Still worth a gander though. More »

Fresno State beat the U of San Diego in baseball 3-2 last night. It took them 7 hours and 12 minutes to do so, though. At 22 innings played, it's tied for the third longest game in D-1 history. San Diego kept them scoreless through eight, but blew it like a typical 4-16 team. More »
