This is one heck of a way to win a baseball game. UC Santa Barbara was facing Louisville in game two of the best-of-three Super Regional in Louisville, Ky. Louisville, the No. 2 seed who lost just 12 games all season, was already down one game to the UCSB Gauchos. Down 3-0 with three men on in the bottom of the 9th, UCSB sent true freshman Sam Cohen to the plate to face Cardinals' closer Zack Burdi. Burdi was just drafted by the Chicago White Sox with the No. 26 overall pick in the MLB Draft earlier this week. Cohen drilled it to right field for a walk-off grand slam that sent his team to the College World Series.
What's even crazier is that Cohen, who sent the ball way deep to right field, only had 26 at-bats all season — and he was facing one of the best pitchers in all of college baseball.
What an and unbelievable incredible finish. Congrats to Cohen and the Gauchos — they're headed to Omaha for the first time ever in program history.
