Wittels' pursuit of NCAA history is over. He went 0 for 4 against Southeastern Louisiana, leaving him two games shy of matching Robin Ventura's 58-game Division I record set in 1987 and four short of the NCAA all-divisions mark of 60 games by Damian Costantino of Division III Salve Regina from 2001-03.

The dark locks now extend well below the helmet of college baseball’s reigning hit king. But superstitions are superstitions, and Wittels vowed not to get them trimmed until his 56-game hitting streak — still going from last season — ends. “Gets annoying sometimes,” Wittels said, tugging one of his curls. “But it’s not that...

    Gamecocks eager for CWS repeat

    The days when South Carolina baseball coach Ray Tanner's offseasons were mostly quiet are long gone. That's what happens when your program wins its first national title. “After a while I would start my speeches with ‘Repeat,' so I could save some time,” Tanner said Friday. “It's been great.
