We have a ridiculously early morning ahead of us, so this post is going to be short and sweet. Minus Kohrs, who was under the weather, the Road Trip crew paid another visit to Rosenblatt on Wednesday night and witnessed the No. 1 team in college baseball (Miami) have its season ended at the hands of the Stanford Cardinal.
We arrived in plenty of time to watch both squads take batting practice, and got insanely close to a few balls that found the bleachers. The park packed 22,000 more people inside tonight, bringing the total attendance thus far in the tournament to over 185,000. That's amazing.
Despite the fact that they boast so many first-round draft picks from the most recent Major League Baseball Draft, I was completely unimpressed with the Hurricanes. They had no emotion or focus during warm-ups. They were lethargic and nonchalant during the game. And when they finally decided to turn on the jets late in the contest, their time had already run out. Kudos to Stanford for taking advantage of such cockiness by Miami and for advancing as another underdog. As it progresses, the World Series is shaping up to be an interesting list of rare teams having success down the stretch.
On another note, my sunglasses broke today. If you have a suggestion on where or what kind I can get (relatively cheap for the time being) that might last a couple more months, I would welcome and appreciate the suggestions.
We are back at it first thing Thursday morning, picking up with Session #2 of the Omaha Slumpbuster Tournament. We're planning on taking yet another trip to Rosenblatt tomorrow night for the elimination game between North Carolina and LSU.
Thanks for reading and goodnight (or good morning/afternoon, depending on when you read this). Talk to you soon.
Until next time,
