Miners Prevail, as Wildcard Goes to the Wire:
Mark one up for the UTEP Miners.
In the crucial final game, they put away the Oklahoma Sooners 5-4 at L. Dale Mitchell Baseball Park to win the Wildcard, 2-1 and advance to the Regionals.
Although his team came up short, Oklahoma's Jack Glasscock was named the series MVP, with many of the league media feeling the series would have been over much sooner if not for his contributions.
"Glasscock did a lot to keep Oklahoma in it, no doubt about that," said Miners manager Justin Murray.
The UTEP Miners don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Baylor Bears - Fresno State Bulldogs series. That series is tied at 1 game apiece. The Regionals schedule will be announced after the Wildcard finishes.
