I just got back from the game. What a roller coaster of emotions. I gotta say, it's been a couple decades since I've been to a game at Sunken Diamond, and it's just as polite and non-hostile of a ballpark as I remember...although the fabled heckler Larry was not present tonight. Maybe that's what we were missing. My voice is hoarse...I didn't really get loud until later in the game.
Lot of missed opportunities early on (esp in the second inning) that could have made a difference. But those UConn bats were hot tonight, and Alex Williams didn't have the stuff for whatever reason. I wasn't sure about some of the pitching substitutions by the coaches...Cody Jensen was excellent in relief, and I think he should have come in earlier. Hope the pitching staff is ready to make a stand tomorrow.
I actually hadn't planned on going to the game. I'm in the area for unrelated reasons, and it just so happened that I was lucky enough to schedule this and buy actual paper tickets off of someone selling near the box office. Many stars aligned for me; they did not align for the Stanford bats and pitching early in the game. Wish I could have met everyone on the board who was at the game in person.
Do or die tomorrow.
