Cinderella is a Bulldog

Congratulations to Fresno State for clinching the College World Series with a 6-1 win over Georgia. Fresno is one of the all-time Cinderellas in sports. The Bulldogs were basically a 13 seed in the NCAA baseball tournament (the committee only seeds the top eight teams). They were paired in the tournament pod across from Arizona State, the number three overall seed, which makes ASU a number one seed in their regional. One plays 16 in round one, and the winner gets either the number eight or nine winner in the regional. The winner of that second game would play Fresno State's pod, which would be the number four, five, 12 and 13 seeds. Fresno was the worst of that pod, making them the equivalent of a number 13 seed.
