    After a 4.5 hr rain delay to start their game, Coastal/Fairfield didn't finish until 1:37 am. Sounds like something we would be involved in! Final Coastal 10-2. I watched part of it and Fairfield was holding on as long as their starter lasted (103 pitches), but fell apart when he had to stop. Coastal's starter, (Cameron Flukey) threw 99 pitches in 7 innings.

    Good question. Ole Miss threw their #2 last night vs #4 seed and got beat. It’s baseball. I would like to believe that Coppola and staff could get it done, but I would hate for King to have to head home unused at the same time.

    If we lose a game but we gave great effort you have to learn to live with that. It’s the losing with poor effort that is demoralizing.

    Seriously? We are heading down from Wilmington and were already leaving when we found out about the time change .lol.

    For people living in this region Myrtle Beach isnt where we want to spend the day.

    Oh well. Go Gators

    A friend of mine, who went up for the series, recommends Gator Zone Sports Bar & Grille in Murrells Inlet.

    Yeah ...I know. I live an hour + up the road in Wilmington. We've been down here a million times. It's Daytona's little sister. :D. But I guess we'll grab a good bite and head over to the park.

    It's very rare we get to see them play this close.

    Hoping to bring them some luck today. :)

    Hey Nick_Marcinko, could we start Liam again in a hypothetical game 6 or 7?

    Well, if you and your family needs to kill some time, head down to the shopping area by the beach and get some tattoos. I think most of them have a family discount.

    You know what they say, the family that inks together plays together!

    And if your young-ums get a Jesus portrait, it will remind them to be honorable and ask themselves "what would Jesus do?". It is just that when they get older and a bit frumpy, they will will be asking themselves "what would Willy Nelson do?". Hey, Willie is honorable...in a fun sort of way!

    He could go Sunday or Monday. 46 pitches not much and it’s crunch time every game. if we win this afternoon, I would say Pierce starts the first game tomorrow and if we make it to game tomorrow night, then say Liam would go.

    It'll be tomorrow, but hopefully with a different result than what Wing observed.

    Go GATORS!
