The year’s top athletic feat? Is there any doubt? The Bulldogs have the best collegiate baseball team in America.

The value is as much in how the Bulldogs did it as that they did it at all. From the bottom of the third inning in the championship round’s second game through the third game, Fresno State outscored No. 8 national-seed Georgia 25-6.

To describe the Bulldogs’ textbook excellence under the highest pressure as “scrappy” is to damn it with faint praise. Don’t be fooled by the four errors in the championship game — Fresno State won the title because it was the best.
