You mean the Wayne Graham Invitational Regionals?Johnny Bear said:MrGolfguy said:

You can also add in 2000 - Smith's first B12 Championship team - that as a National Top 8 seed went 2 and que in the regional at own ballpark. Plus there isn't enough time to go through all of his CWS capable teams that choked away late inning leads to blow both regionals and super regionals (his teams were especially cursed if it involved playing at Rice).

The 2012 Super Regional has to be one of the most baffling and frustrating moments in Baylor Baseball. I have never been that angry about a Baylor Baseball series. Well maybe that one regional elimination game we blew after being up like 12-1. I think that one was the Summer of 2011.
I was at all 3 games. Still not over that series.Alf said:Bear8084 said:MrGolfguy said:

Ugh, I was at the 2012 super. Room service dp ball hit to short that if converted would've sent us to the ws. Alas, it was booted Arkansas came from behind to win the game and then also won game 3. Hated all those hog fans celebrating at our expense.
I'm talking about the game 3 play. Miller had great range. I thought taking him out was a mistake. I thought Miller could've gotten to that ball. I agree it was a hit.parch said:
Unless it's a different moment you may be misremembering.
The error that cost us Game 2 in the 9th inning was on starting SS Jake Miller, who ended his BU career 3rd all time in double plays initiated and was one of the best defensive infielders we've ever had. That actually makes it worse than a backup making a mistake if you ask me. We ended up with two HBP to end the game in the following two ABs after that E which would've ended the game.
Game 3 did end with a single past DalPorto at SS in the 10th, but it wasn't an error. Just a seeing-eye single through a gap that would've been unreasonable for anyone to get to. And even if he had gloved it, no way he could've gotten it to 1st on time. Just a good piece of hitting.
No kidding. Brutal. FTR I don't blame Dalporto at all. Like I said, it was a hit.parch said:
Fair enough, either way pretty wild that both losses turned on a play not made from the hole from two different players.
Rice in 2001(?) I saw us lose game 1 on Friday afternoon. We were down 9-0 going to the 8th in game 2, but rallied to win 11-10 in 10 to force game 3. I missed that one celebrating my engagement with my now wife. We continued the celebration the next afternoon at game 3Stefano DiMera said:
Was that when Smith pinch hit a pitcher in game 3?
Also..there was a debacle with Rice we lost some crazy way in the 9th.
And 2011 we were up on Cal in the final of the Houston Regional 7-1:and lost 9-8.

Smith also subbed out our shortstop late in one of those games for either a pinch runner or a pinch hitter. When it happened, I said we are gonna regret that. Then the backup SS couldn't make a play that cost us the game. Brutal. Smith out-thunk himself.

In game 3, we were up 4-2 going to the bottom of the 9th. Rice had 1st and 3rd no outs, but Matt Williams threw wide of 1st on a grounder that scored one.
