Since postseason play began, the Titans have looked more like the Titans of old in making their 15th CWS appearance. After losing 11 of their last 17 regular season games, they've won five straight in postseason play.

Both sides of the ball have picked up the pace. Fullerton's averaged eight runs per game in NCAA play. They haven't needed nearly that much support, though, with a team ERA of 2.0. They haven't just been beating their opponents. They've been dominant. Only the 2-1 clinching victory over UCLA was close.

A big part of the postseason success is the resurgence of star pitcher Wes Roemer. After being named Collegiate Baseball's Co-National Player of the Year in 2006, he fell a bit off his game in the regular season. But three straight complete game victories have improved his middling record from 8-6 to 11-6. In postseason wins over Minnesota and UCLA, he’s thrown 14 strikeouts and allowed just three total runs.

Any team matching up against Roemer won’t have an easy run.

Meanwhile, Clark Hardman is on fire at the plate and takes a .391 average to Omaha. He was 4-of-9 with three RBI in the Super Regional series with UCLA. The rest of the lineup has joined in on picking up the pace.

Fullerton will have its hands full with a tough opening matchup against defending champion Oregon State. The Beavers are coming off a Super Regional sweep of their own over Michigan.

It won't get any easier after that, with a matchup with either fellow Big West member UC Irvine, which won the season series 2-1, or an Arizona State team averaging almost nine runs per game after the opening game with the Beavers.

But it's Omaha. None of the matchups are supposed to be easy. If Fullerton keeps playing like the Fullerton of old, it can play with anybody.
