LEADING OFF: Top Dogs ~ from SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

“Fresno State celebrated the College World Series championship with a Bulldog pile after a 6-1 victory over Georgia on June 25 in Omaha. While rightfielder Steve Detwiler drove in all of Fresno State’s runs in the decisive Game 3, third baseman Tommy Mendonca (inset) was the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, tying a CWS record with four homers. The NCAA title was the second in school history; the softball team won the 1998 championship.” --SPORTS ILLUSTRATED; July 7, 1008; pg. 7-8. Photograph by Chris Machian/The Gateway
