I wish I could have gone... I wasn't sure how long things would go and had to be back in Merrimack, NH to umpire a Legion game by 415P. Although considering my son was the cause of 5 Maine runs - maybe it was better I was at home :-). I'm told at first he didn't miss by much and then got a bit too wild... Oh well - he had pitched over 100 a couple days earlier, but that's no excuse for not throwing a strike in what amounts to an exhibition game. At least my son did have his grandparents and uncle come to watch. Although they didn't see him do as well on the mound as he would have liked - it wasn't a completely bad day as he did get a walk and sac fly.
Unfortunately for most around here - it's a friends and family type event. Whether the Mainers had more representation at USM who knows... Even when it's around here - does it really get the publicity? Oh well - that's a different issue...
