Nice post TPM. Our high school team lost in the first round of their playoffs and I can tell you that the sadness was all about it being their last game together and not the actual loss.
I was thrilled to see SC win, especially after that fake pickoff to 2nd where the second baseman pretended to chase a bad throw into center field. I hate that play. Loved that the runner on 2nd ended up coming home. Take THAT!
