Last night in Raleigh the twice annual meeting between two grads from Northern Nash took place at Doak Field in Raleigh as the Pack beat ECU 4-3 in 11 innings. Last Tuesday in Greenville the Pirates won 6-5 . Elliot Avent and Billy Godwin have met for 20 innings this year and have played to a 9-9 tie. I guess the only way to decide who has the best team is to meet in a Super Regional in June as both teams seem as if they are capable of advancing in the NCAA playoffs this season.
Tonight ends the first round of Big East baseball as Rocky Mount will host Northern Nash at Gryphon Stadium for the last time. Northern is 2-2 in conference while the Gryphons look for their first of the season.
Wednesday was the first day of Major League baseball and the first game was played in Tokoyo as Seattle beat Oakland 3-1. I guess Seattle is the official major league baseball team in Japan.
I guess you all understand there will be a day when and NFL team will be in London and baseball will be played in Japan. You don't think the NFL has been playing all these games for the last four or five years in London are doing it just to make two teams travel there do you?
I can see the day when the Atlanta Braves road trip could be three games in LA, three in San Fransico, three in Tokyo, three in Yokohoma and they finish it up with three in Seattle.
All the west coast football teams complain now that traveling east is a hardship. Can you imagine being on the road two weeks in a row with a game in Cleveland and next week in London. Oh yea they already do that now.
