Wait Till Next Year

The ACC streak of not winning a national title in baseball has hit sixty years. Vanderbilt  from the SEC  wins another title  beating Virginia 3-2.  The only home run Vandy hit during the World Series in the eighth inning is the difference.  Virginia had their chances leaving seven runners on base in the sixth, seventh and eighth.

How many teams in college baseball start with the letter V?  Vanderbilt and Virginia.  The Umpires did a good job Monday when the ump on second base not only called a Virgina runner who was safe but the Vandy player dropped the ball. One of the umps saved the day by saying, Hey I saw the ball on the ground.

No help tonight however as a similar situation occurred when the Virginia runner beats throw plus the ball was dropped and not called.  Second base umpiring has been awful this week. UVA should have had first and second no outs instead one out an on first.

The SEC versus ACC matchup went the ACC way this playoff with the ACC winning eight and losing three but two of those losses occurred since Monday.

Coleman Pitt Post 58 has a non division game tonight at home against Ahoskie.  There is a maximum of only four home regular season games left.  They will play a doubleheader Saturday against Raleigh Post 1 at 3pm. Right now a June 30 game at Wayne County and a July  1 game at home to Wilson.  Somewhere there is a makeup game at Apex that might replace one of those games.  Don't forget to get to the game early Thursday for the celebration of Grady Griffin being inducted into the NC Legion baseball hall of fame.
