Yep. Not looking as well in the second game. I've been real busy so thanks for the update. Just haven't had the time yet.

It's a frustrating listen. I had to give up on it. It's 9-2 in the ninth.

Game 3 - starts out with the catcher getting engaged it would seem.

The opening pitch was thrown out by his now fiance and then he proposed. Either that or one really quick courtship just took place.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Apps win 6-5 with a bases loaded walk off double by Zupcic in the 9th. They are the 5th seed and will play Ga. Sou Wednesday am for the first game in the tourney.

That win turned out to be the difference between 5th and 8th place. 5th place means we get a bye into the double-elimination tournament. 8th-place Furman now has to play UNCG on Tuesday in an eliminator for the right to play top-seeded WCU on Wednesday.

Opening game is the 4/5 game versus Georgia Southern, 10 am from Riley Park in Chuck Town.

The young lady was Jamie Medford, in her 4th year as concession manager, and a very successful athlete from McDowell High. Her boyfriend is not a player just dressed as a catcher so he could be disguised. After the first pitch from her he started toward the mound, dropped to a knee and proposed.

Plus she stepped on the rubber and didn't bounce it.

The ending to the game was just awesome. Highlight of this App sports season for me. Also the second year in a row we end the home schedule walking off a purple team.

Amazing how important one game can be. Great win for these guys as it seems they've been fighting up hill all season. Now let's make some noise in the tourney. It starts by stomping the stink!
