FSU Rebounds, Knocks Off Florida
From ESPN.com:
OMAHA, Neb. -- To Florida State's Mike McGee, pitching is hard work and hitting home runs is fun.

Saturday, 19 June 2010 09:12 | Written by Mike Crook |
Eight teams begin competing for the College World Series championship in Omaha on Saturday, a quest that runs for nearly two weeks and will literally seem like a second season to the two teams that advance to play a deciding best-of-three title series. But regardless of who emerges from the dogpile as NCAA Division I champion on June 29 or 30, they will be at least partially upstaged by the venue that showcases their achievement. This is the curtain call for Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, which is hosting its 61st CWS but will give way in 2011 to a new downtown stadium.
