Weather Man's Forecast Was Right

The Division two World Series crammed four games into one day so just in case it rained Sunday no team would lose a starting pitcher who might pitch  an inning or two and then sit during a rain delay and not return to the game.

Any time you might have to play four or five games in a week pitching becomes the most valuable commodity any team has  and no one wants to lose a pitcher in a game that might get delayed to the next day.  As many showers and at times heavy rain we had Sunday the NCAA made the right call making me watch baseball until after one am on Sunday?  Weather permitting the losers bracket double header is today and Lander and all the other winners play Tuesday.

Coleman Pitt Post 58 American Legion team 1-3 travels to play Pitt County Post 39 tonight at Pitt Community College in Winterville.  Tuesday they have a home game with Cary which is the first conference game of the season.  Wednesday they travel to Wilson to play Post 13 at Fleming  for the only meeting during the regular season.  The only other meeting now would be if they meet in the playoffs.

Will they host or not and the answer is The NC State Wolfpack will be the only team from North Carolina hosting an NCAA Division 1 Regional starting this weekend.  The Pack will join five other ACC teams hosting the 16 regional sites.  Clemson 6th in the RPI, Miami 3rd, Louisville 2nd, Florida State 13th, Virginia 17th and NC Start 10th all all host three other teams and they will be announced at Noon Monday.

Up in the air  will they get in at all are ECU, North Carolina, Duke and Wake Forest.  If it happens that Carolina, Duke and Wake join State some where in the tournament it will be the first time ever all four of the so called Big Four made the NCAA tournament the same year.

Today is Memorial Day  where we honor our fallen heroes who fell defending this country.  We are a free people who can go to ball games whether it is a professional game, a college game and all the different level in college to American Legion.   No one will stop us and ask us why we were where we are and what we are doing unless of course we are violating a law and need to be stopped.

Thank a veteran today and every day for the freedoms they have helped us keep.  Those that you thank came back but there are so many laying in a grave in many foreign country's who didn't come back.  This is their day. Remember them for what they gave us all.
