Pack's Ready In Florida

The NCAA baseball Super Regionals get underway Friday and Saturday as it is down to who will make it to Omaha for the College World Series.  North Carolina State  is in Gainesville Florida all ready to meet Florida starting Saturday.  Before the Pack left  Wednesday night the entire squad made a visit to the Memorial Bell Tower which was lit up in all red in honor of the teams quest for it's first trip to the College World Series since 1968.

Carlos Rodan the Wolfpack pitcher was named the freshman of the year in college baseball.  There is strategy in when you pitch your ace or when not too.  Rodan can't pitch but once in the series with Florida and when is the best time is a major decision.  My gut feeling is pitch him Saturday and hope you win and worry about the next game come Sunday and then worry about Monday's game if needed.

Tonight Coleman Pitt Post 58 journeyed far to play a double header.  Hank Jones has never been one to worry about records but show me who are my best players and when it is playoff time let's see what we got.  Rocky Mount played rand game one of the DH goes to Cherryville by a score of 7-6.  The seven inning game Post 58 had every chance in the world to win as they left 11 men on base.  Cam Webb started on the mound but surrendered two three run homers.  As they say in the newspaper business game two had not finished by(press time) aka  bed time.

I find it hard to see that any team out of the Eastern Division can beat the Oklahoma Thunder in the NBA finals.  Wednesday OKC beat the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Finals.  The never ending NBA playoffs  finally gets down to the last series next Tuesday.  Tonight Miami wins as LaBron James put on a show and there will be a game seven in the East.
