The momentum from their 1982 title game appearance helped spearhead the building of a permanent facility, Eck Stadium, in 1985. Under his leadership, the Shockers made seven College World Series and 26 NCAA tournament appearances, i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
