re: Tigers missed postseason under Skip

Wrong about 1987-
We won the Regional at UNO.
That was the year Stanford’s Paul Carey hit the very historic grand slam off Ben to beat us in the CWS semi finals.
I still am pained to this day remembering that game.

That Stanford game was brutal. Tied at 2 going into the 10th, Craig Faulkner hits a 3 run double with 2 outs in the top of the 10th to give the Tigers a 5-2 lead. I forget who followed Faulkner but he hit a sinking line drive to Stanford's CF, who made a great diving catch to save at least one run, Sadly, we know what followed in the bottom of the 10th.

BTW, Stanford's CF that day would later be drafted by the Minnesota Twins. He instead chose to play football and would go on to play for the Saints...DB Toi Cook.
