Arizona 6,
Long Beach State 5
LONG BEACH Trevor Crowe hit
a go-ahead triple off Neil Jamison (3-4) after Brad Boyer's two-run single
tied it during Arizona's four-run ninth inning to help the Wildcats beat
Long Beach State 6-5 Friday night in the first game of their best-of-3 NCAA
super regional series.
The Wildcats (34-24-1) took a
win away from Jered Weaver, who struck out 12 and allowed one earned run on
five hits in 7 2/3 innings. Weaver was drafted 12th overall by the Anaheim
Angels on Monday.
Brad Davis hit three singles
and Danny Mocny drove in two runs to help Long Beach (39-20) take a 5-0 lead
by the fourth inning.
Arizona cut Long Beach's lead
to 5-2 when 49ers center fielder Josh Buhagiar dropped Jeff Van Houten's
sinking line drive, allowing Crowe to score from second base.
Arizona starter Koley Kolberg
went 7 2/3 innings, giving up five runs on nine hits with five strikeouts
and two walks. Scott Burns (1-1) got one out for the win and Mark Melancon
got his second save.

ATLANTA Bobby Felmy hit a
three-run homer and reliever Johnny Dobbs escaped a bases-loaded jam to lead
Georgia past Georgia Tech on Friday in the first game of their best-of-3
NCAA super regional series.
Marshall Szabo went 2-for-5
and had a two-run single to move the Bulldogs (42-21) within one win of a
trip to the College World Series. Clint Sammons scored two runs and Will
Startup pitched the final three innings for his ninth save.
Mike Nickeas had three hits
including a home run and Eric Patterson also homered for the Yellow
Jackets (44-20), who lost for only the third time in 26 games.

innings in relief of starter Michael Hyle and allowed only Nickeas' solo
shot in the sixth. He struck out one and walked one.
Dobbs came in to relieve Hyle
with two outs in the fourth, inheriting a two-ball count on Mike Trapani. He
promptly walked him and Patterson to load the bases before he got Brandon
Boggs to ground out.
Georgia Tech's Micah Owings
lasted six innings and gave up seven runs on nine hits, both season highs.
He lost for the first time in 10 starts since March 12 against Virginia. He
threw 104 pitches to bring his total over the past three outings to 381.

single in the eighth.
