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.

Thanks to John McGraw for passing this along. I know he’s been in a few rain delay situations in his broadcast career (including one on a D3football.com football broadcast this past season) but this may well take the cake.

One thing for sure — it can’t be said that Lynchburg and Christopher Newport were at all tight during their rain delay Thursday night. And thanks to someone with a camera and JTSliders’ YouTube account, you can all see for yourself.
