After all the ups and downs of this year it's unbelievably exciting. All the supporters and fans are excited. I've been deluged with emails by so many people who are excited about the team and about the fact that the team is alive and well.

Will success help solidify future of the team?

Definitely. Everybody is so enthusiastic. There are baseball fans that are coming out of the woodwork who have been somewhat complacent over the years. Nobody is complacent now. Everyone realizes the value of what we've accomplished in saving the Cal baseball program. This is a great story and I hope it keeps getting better.

Here's a video of the final out that advanced Cal to the World Series:
