1) Everyone knows that it takes pitching to win in Omaha- Our bullpen is our strength; it's possibly the best in college baseball.
2) Whether you liked it or not during the regular season, our "punch and Judy" hitters play to our advantage at TD Ameritrade Park. In such a large park, those gaps will look huge to Henderson, Frazier, etc. Our team also has just enough power to make you respect us and play us straight up (see UVA game 1, Frazier and Renfroe's triples), especially Rea and Renfroe.
3) Speed Kills- This is one thing our team did against UVA that helped us win big time. The speed of our team on the basepaths, sans Rea, puts a lot of pressure on good defensive infields to make routine infield plays. Even really solid teams, like UVA, are forced into errors that they don't normally make.
