College World Series Update

Phillies first-round draft pick Joe Savery pitched the Rice Owls to an easy 14-4 win yesterday over the North Carolina Tar Heels in the second-round of the College World Series.  The Owls now just need to win one of their next two games to make it out of their side of the bracket to the championship series.

Savery hadn't pitched since June 3rd and wasn't particularly sharp.  But with the Owls clubbing around eight pitchers on the UNC staff, he didn't have to be.  Savery also went 2-4 at the plate, acting as his own DH, driving in one run and scoring another.  In fact, every Rice starter had at least one hit, one RBI and one run scored.
