Austin Regional - All Tournament Team and a comment on Stanford

The All-Tournament team:

• Greg Reynolds, p, Stanford
• Gib Hobson, p, NC-State
• John Hester, c, Stanford
• Aaron Bates, 1b, NC-State
• Chris Lewis, 2b, Stanford
• Chris Minaker, ss, Stanford
• Randy Molina, 3b, Stanford
• Michael Taylor, of, Stanford
• Matt Camp, of, NC-State
• Carson Kainer, of, Texas
• Jon Still, dh, NC-State
• Most Outstanding Player: Chris Minaker, Stanford

Granted, I didn't see any games from any of the other Regionals (I was at all the Austin games and I don't have ESPN-U) so my take is doubtlessly a bit limited. But, I have to say that I think Stanford's chances have to be pretty good to advance past the Super Regional and go deep at the CWS. For a team to come into Disch-Falk and dominate the way they did is pretty impressive. Mark Marquess hasn't won a CWS in nearly 20 years. He did get teams into the Championship game/series in three of the last six College World Series, though. Do you suppose he's due?
