It’s a great story and I hope they do well, but they are
a long way from winning the championship. They lost their first game before winning on the walk off HR yesterday. They have to win 3 straight to advance to the finals then win a best 2 out of 3 series for the championship. I linked the bracket below.
I followed Lynchburg during the D3 CWS last year and watched most of their games online. Very few pitchers if any were touching 90 mph which makes it hard to evaluate the hitters. Obviously with players like Ben Watson at VT this year there are players that can make the jump, but it’s really hard to evaluate them unless they have played well in a more competitive summer league.
I’m pulling for Lynchburg to repeat as national champions, but I hope Birmingham Southern can make it to the finals.
