About this episode

Dave Schultz analyzes the potential upset of Troy Trojans over West Virginia Mountaineers in the College World Series, focusing on key players and team dynamics.

Troy Trojans seek to upset the West Virginia Mountaineers as the College World Series kicks off. Can Benjamin Stubbs' remarkable ability to shut down opposing base stealers slow down West Virginia's explosive running game and shift the momentum for Troy? Dave Schultz breaks down the pitching duel between Troy's power lefty Stubbs and West Virginia's finesse righty Chansen Cole, analyzing how each team's offensive strengths, bullpen depth, and situational hitting could determine the outcome. Key topics include Troy's late-season surge, West Virginia’s season-long consistency, and the significance of the game's day-time Omaha setting. The show also spotlights Coastal Carolina's hiring of Chris Lemonis as Head Coach and why his recent track record raises questions about the program’s future. Will Troy defy the odds, or will West Virginia cement their favorite status on college baseball’s biggest stage?
