Long Island University And The 2006 College World Series
Winson Thai
June 8 marks the start of the 2006 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska and the Long Island Blackbirds have two new, but extraordinary closers, Ivan Chen for baseball and Sarah Gilbert for softball. They have been good friends for many years and played huge roles in their teams’ successful appearances in that tournament, the first time for softball and second time in four years for baseball, who won in 2003.
A hilarious incident happens to each LIU team in the first round. In the top of the fifth against the Tennessee Lady Volunteers, Softball Coach Roy Kortmann is in his team’s dugout talking with the ESPN broadcasters when a very odd sound is heard. The LIU players look at Gilbert, who is standing next to her coach and admitted that she just passed gas. As a result, everyone who heard it starts laughing out loud. A really awful smell soon blankets the dugout and everybody inside is forced to run out. The game is paused for ten minutes while utility men spray the area with Lysol. Gilbert does not pitch in this match, which the Blackbirds lose 9-1, but they beat the Oklahoma Sooners 9-4 in their next game and move to Round Two.
LIU gets all nine runs in the bottom of the fourth against the Sooners. Vanessa Mejia homers after a walk and LIU two outs later scores seven runs on four hits aided by two errors with Mejia ending it with a three-run shot. The Sooners outhit LIU 11-7, scoring a run in the fourth and seventh and two in the fifth.
A day after Gilbert’s mishap, the LIU baseball team begins its first World Series match against the Washington Huskies. LIU is up 7-5 in the bottom of the eighth, but Washington with one out has the bases loaded versus reliever Paul Lopez. Chen is brought in to face Jeff James, but some mayflies arrive after he takes the mound. Their numbers multiply during the at-bat and by the time he strikes out James, they have overtaken the stadium. Being more than a nuisance, the umpires declare a stop to this game and fans try to cover themselves from the flies. The players run to their respective team’s dugouts, but Chen, unwilling to abandon his post, stays on the mound, shielding his face with his glove and Coach Don Maines repeatedly demands he return to the bullpen, but he cannot hear him until he yells out loud, making some fans laugh. When play resumes 25 minutes later, Chen gets this inning’s last out, then throws a scoreless ninth to give LIU a win. They face the Sooners, who seek revenge after their fellow softball team lost to LIU, in Round Two and, batting first, win 8-3. In the first, Marcus Wynn hits a two-run double. After OU scores two runs in the third off of Rich Moran, LIU scores five in the fourth as Jimmy Lopovich homers in the sixth off of starter Matt Lovelady. OU’s Freddy Rodriguez homers in the eighth off of Kenny Cedel. LIU strands two.
The LIU softball team is up 3-0 versus the Wichita State Shockers when Gilbert comes in to pitch the top of the seventh. Wichita scores two and puts ladies on first and third with two outs, but Gilbert gets Erin Peters to fly out to send her team to the semifinals. However, she and Chen would falter in the round.
The softball team is atop 2-0 in the seventh, scoring in the third and fourth, when Gilbert allows a game-tying, two-run shot to Caitlin Benyi of the UCLA Bruins. Brittany Murphy’s blast in the eighth puts LIU up 3-2 off of Lisa Dodd. Shane Stewart in the bottom half reaches on Gilbert’s strike-three wild pitch with one out. Whitney Hom hits a fly ball to right. It appears Amanda Devan would catch the ball, but she drops it. It lets Stewart run to second as Hom goes to first. Gilbert gets the inning’s second out. LIU needs only one more to move to the finals. They sadly do not get it. Danielle Peterson doubles to center. Stewart scores the tying run. Hom beats Renae Beauchman’s throw to home to score the winning run for her team. LIU suffers an embarrassing elimination due to Gilbert’s first career blown save plus Devan’s costly error.
Chen pitches even worse days later against the OSU Cowboys in the bottom of the ninth with LIU up 6-2. He gets two quick outs, but falls apart afterward. Steve Psak homers, then Rafael Thomas hits a 2-2 pitch just over Chen’s head, scaring him. Shelby Ford walks on a full count pitch, then two straight RBI singles by Corey Brown and Tyler Mach, the latter of who was down in the count 1-2, cut LIU’s lead to 6-5. With men at first and second, Chen moves them up by throwing a wild pitch to Rebel Ridling, who hits the next one over the center field fence for his second walk-off home run of this series. OSU wins 8-6 and another unusually bad performance by a top closer leads to LIU getting eliminated from the early-summer series. Down 1-0, then 2-1, LIU scored four runs via two hits and two walks in the seventh off of Brandon Gaviglio (Jimmy Lopovich hits a three-run homer to finish it) and one unearned run in the ninth off of Joe Kent. Chen is not charged with a blown save as LIU was up by over three runs when he came in the ninth.
LIU fans acclaim Chen and Gilbert for their overall series performances despite the losses and the two eventually begin to date, but other colleges poke fun of them for what happened in Round One. In the final rounds, OSU and UCLA would lose to the Oregon State Beavers and Arizona Wildcats, respectively.
