Intentionally walking a guy with a 54-game hitting streak? I understand that it was a close game and they want to win. But, if I'm coaching that game, I pitch to the guy just for the integrity of the game. UCSD is still ranked #1 in DII going into the West Regional - but I've lost respect for them. Whatever happened to showmanship? Go after the kid! See if he can perform. It's not ALL about your team. Respect the game. Head Coach Dan O'Brien blew that one. What have you taught your players? Winning is everything...?  Damn UCSD. Intentionally walking a guy with a 54-game hitting streak? I understand that it was a close game and they want to win.
