Salukis chase perfect title in College World Series
Larry Qdell reports that only two teams have won the College World Series without a loss in district or national play. Southern Illinois University Salukis aim to join that elite, with district and national contenders from Massachusetts, Tulsa, Mississippi, Texas, UCLA, and Arizona State. SIU may become the first from District Four to win the national title. Barry O’Sullivan was drafted by the White Sox, with Coker and Paetzhold also listed. Massachusetts faces LIU first, while Tulsa posts the top batting average and strong win percentage. Texas eyes back-to-back titles from 1949-50, as Omaha hosts the 20th CWS.
