It's a showcase for the Big West Conference today in the College World Series as Cal State Fullerton and UC Irvine are playing one another in an elimination game. As I'm writing this, it's 1-0 Titans in the fourth inning. Four teams from the Big West advanced to the postseason, probably a good recruiting tool for UC Davis, which finally becomes an official member next season. Oregon State, another team the Aggies played this year, are in action later in the day in Omaha. If you're wondering, the Ags were 1-7 against the three teams with Brad McAtee and Eddie Gamboa beating Irvine 3-2 for the lone win.
Speaking of baseball, former Aggie ace Dave McKae continues to dominate in Double-A in the Giants' system. In three starts with the Connecticut Defenders, McKae is 2-0 with a 0.39 ERA with 19 strikeouts and no walks in 23 innings. Yes, NO walks. McKae was promoted from Single-A San Jose earlier this month.
And updating previous information, outfielder Aaron Hanke has been assigned to play for the Yakima (Wash.) Bears in the Northwest League after getting taken by the Diamondbacks in the draft. The Bears begin their season on Tuesday. Daniel Descalso, the Ags' ex-sweet-swinging third baseman, will play for the Batavia (N.Y.) Muckdogs of the New York-Penn League. The Muckdogs, a Cardinals' affiliate, begin play on Wednesday.
