Notes: Japanese appreciate hospitality
The Japanese Collegiate All-Stars were told to be prepared for new experiences on their visit to Omaha to play the U.S. national team. So imagine the surprise when the players showed up in Clarinda, Iowa, on Monday to play a baseball game and found about 20 of their countrymen in attendance. “They asked, ‘What are you doing in this town?' ” said Jyunpei Tomonaga, who is serving as an interpreter during the Japanese team's trip.

The last time Drew Maggi played in Rosenblatt Stadium he wore the maroon and gold of ASU. When he steps onto the Rosenblatt field Wednesday, Maggi will be wearing the red, white and blue of the USA.

Last ’Blatt ball located at last
Brett Krill took home from the College World Series a piece of Omaha baseball history. But don’t assume the UCLA right fielder is thinking that having in his possession the last baseball hit in a CWS at Rosenblatt Stadium is his ticket to riches. “I don’t want anything out of this,’’ Krill said. “It’s not going to be showing up on eBay.’’ In a phone interview with The World-Herald from his home in California, Krill said he is uncertain what...

Chemistry was key for S.C. title team
By winning the College World Series, the South Carolina baseball team showed everyone how well it played together on the field. But the national championship was won by how well the players got along off it. Successful teams find a way to develop a unity that can best be built when the pressure’s not on.
