Underdogs to Wonderdogs: Fresno State's Road to Omaha and the College World Series Championship (Hardcover)
Description
Capturing the rollercoaster ride of Fresno State’s unlikely victory in the 2008 NCAA College World Series, this account tells their story through more than 200 color photographs, radio play-by-play excerpts, and comments from the players themselves. The Bulldogs, originally ranked 89th in the country, triumphed over elimination through six weeks of unprecedented upsets to become the lowest seed ever to win the NCAA baseball championship. Told in the unique style of the team’s radio announcer, this is an exhilarating and inspirational tale of the metamorphosis from adversity into achievement.
