I read a blog post on the San Diego Union Tribune website about the success of College baseball In San Diego. Not only is the University of San Diego in the top 17 in the nation but San Diego State has made the first appearance in the polls at 22. This is the first time that the Aztecs have been in the polls since former Padre Tony Gwynn took over his alma mater as baseball coach.
I picked this blog because it hard to find any articles about college baseball unless it is about the power house teams in the nation. And two I glad to see that Tony Gwynn has finally had some success turning around a program that has struggled for so long and was playing second fiddle to another team 15 miles away with half the enrollment.
Nothing can be taken away from the University of San Diego they do have to players that played with the US olympic team this past summer but SDSU did split a wekend series with USD who was in the top 10 in nation's preseason poll.
I learned from this blog that baseball in San Diego doesn't end with the Padres I would have to alot more college baseball games as a kid if either of these two schools were even competitive now at least one school USD can have a realistic shot at a National Championship.
The one thing I would have liked to was the author of the blog Kirk Kenney got into a little more detail on the results of the series played last weekend between SDSU and USD only two score were given and that was the first two games I had to go find the other scores elsewhere.
