But with UVA's arms and good defense and they seem to be the best hitting team to boot, they look really good. They could be in the mix for the National title for the next few years with that young squad.

Obviously, beating Strasburg was huge, but in the ACC tourney they had comeback wins against Clemson (regional host), Duke, and Florida State (regional host), and blew out UNC (regional host). So to be on the run they're on is pretty impressive, and fun to watch. The thing that amazes me is that there are only 2 juniors (and no seniors) in the typical starting 9...should be good for a few more years, barring defections/injuries/academic problems. Pro prospects? Hultzen, Jarrett Parker, Dan Grovatt, and closer Kevin Arrico?

O'Connor's had a solid program there, but not getting to a Super yet was a big hole. This is their regional to lose, and I'll be surprised if they lose it. Hultzen looked good. Raw, but good. A few years of college development, some added muscle (seems a bit scrawny), and I could see him as a solid first round pick come 2011. Packer's breaking ball had some bite to it.

Looks like we might be able to get another super regional in Oxford.....UVA vs Ole Miss would be a great matchup of very similarly style teams(though I fear the cavies are the significantly hotter team right now) Gotta think this plays well for all the Ole Miss fans…I know I was one of many glued to this game tonight.
