Mother of all underdogs

It was something when Oregon State shocked everyone by winning the college world series two years ago -- but Fresno State, the biggest underdog ever to win an NCAA championship -- did them one better in a great game tonight.

Earlier our other Cinderella team, Turkey, gave Germany all it could handle but lost in the 90th minute, 3-2. They did themselves proud, surprising everyone -- or everyone but the Turks, I suppose. An inspiring team to watch.

Fresno State lost 12 of its first 20 games this season, needed to win its conference tournament just to make the NCAA field of 64, fought off elimination in regionals and super regionals, and became the first No. 4 regional seed to reach the CWS since the tournament expanded in 1999. The Bulldogs from California (47-31) not only showed they belonged, they showed they were the best, even though no previous national champion had more losses. The national title was the second in school history. Fresno State won the 1998 women's softball title.
