A little cool this morning but the skies are blue and although there is ample sunshine, it is mostly cloudy. It is Cape Cod weather. The field is getting a touch up now so the field logos will look good on the video. The white will be very white, the blue, very blue.

Today we crown a champion. Will it be Trinity or Johns Hopkins. Yesterday the UW-Whitewater Head Coach said he was already working on the movie script but he had his team coming in against all odds and winning the Walnut and Bronze trophy everyone has started out this season competing for.

Will Trinity meet the fate of the 1954 Cleveland Indians who won 111 games but fell 0-4 to the New York Giants or will Johns Hopkins be like the Red Sox in 2004, 3 games down too the Yankees.

Trinity will have to get their bats going unless they can shut down a Johns Hopkins offense that found their stoke yesterday. Trinity has trailed in only 12 games this year and none in this tournament as the Bantams put their runs up early and made the lead stand. This is what they have done in the regional and here in Appleton.

Never give up on the Blue Jays, they know what it takes to win and believe that they have the team that can end the dream of a perfect season.

Hey its a great day for baseball and why not – let’s play two.

Trinity (Conn.) and Johns Hopkins had the first rain delay of the championships this evening, and although it was a brief one, the players on each side still found ways to entertain themselves.

One of them was by tossing a ball back and forth between dugouts, playing a long distance game of tic-tac-toe.
