All the emotions are on display in the College World Series final, and for good reason. With Michigan one win away from a national title, pitcher Isaiah Page is leaving it all on the field.

File that one in the "stop complaining about players having fun" category. Seeing players show emotion like that only makes the game more exciting and may actually attract new fans, something the sport desperately needs.
While he wasn't quite as intense as Louisville's Luke Smith, we love the energy Page brings to the mound.
After a 7-4 victory on Monday night, Michigan can close it out Tuesday for its first national championship since 1962. Meanwhile, a win for Vanderbilt would force a decisive Game 3 Wednesday. Winning Tuesday will be no easy task for the Wolverines, as Vanderbilt hasn't lost back-to-back games since April.
Michigan was one of the Last 4 In.

It drew the regional hosted by the defending national champ.
It drew the super regional hosted by the nation's No. 1 team.
It entered the College World Series with the worst odds to win it all.
Now it’s in the national championship series.
This underdog Wolverines team has proven a lot just by getting here, and it'll surely be an emotional night if they can close it out. Page's excitement should make it a fun one.
