The Twitter feed has been hot. Hot to the touch. I almost can't touch it without my wife's fancy cooking mitts.
Oral Roberts punched their ticket to the World Series as an original four-seed in their regional. For those wondering how crazy that is, it's similar to a 16 seed in March Madness making it to the Elite 8. With a double-elimination tourney in Omaha, this could get spicy!

From the Rundown
Tulsa Tiger goes viral.
What happened? Mason Rainbolt stepped on the mound in a showcase and started chucking upper-80s fastballs. He's 14. The internet took over, accumulating over 100k views.
What happened? Stanford is heading to Omaha, and here's how it went down. The bases were loaded, tied ball game, and it looked like we would watch another inning when a pop-fly was hit. Nationally recognized Texas right fielder was closing in on the ball until he lost it. Watch it to see how the play unfolded.
1. Is Vitello the best college coach to play for? I don't know, but it looks like he's always having a good time. (see him here)
2. Numbers fade, but who you are as a person doesn't. Southern Miss coach delivers a heartfelt interview after his last game at the helm. (watch now)
3. "Chase Burns is an absolute sicko and I love it." Tennessee pitcher throws 102mph fastball and goes gremlin mode after the strikeout. (@bigdonkey47 has the post here)
That's it for this Rundown. See you next week.
