Look, all the details are below. What you really want to know about--or maybe what you really don't want to know about--are the postgame shenanigans. Apparently, there is a Big Lots in Laurinburg. Do I really need to say more? That leads to photos like this one. If you take a really close look at this picture, it has just about every possible detail you could ever want.
We've got Cook-Out, we've got other beverages, we've got a Big Lots frequent shopper, and we've got John holding a sign that reads, "Imagination has no age limit." Wait, that just reminded me of something, which I have saved on my computer under the file name "Poobah."
Just shut down the blog. We've reached peak blog content, folks. I really can't believe you get to read this for free.
Oh yeah--state championship bracket play is tomorrow. West Raleigh faces (surprise!) Deep River at 1:30, with the winner moving on to the state title game. Here's the bracket.
First inning
Bryce singled and stole second, then scored on Gavin's two-run homer that was crushed through the wind. Chace singled. Drew doubled. Banks doubled home Chace. Andrew lifted a sacrifice fly that eventually scored two after a throwing error.
Score after one-half inning: 11U Blue 5, Roanoke Rapids 0
Second inning
Chace reached on a shot through short and stole second and third. Drew walked and stole second. Banks walked. Andrew was hit by a pitch ("We got ice!"), scoring Chace. Jake cranked a grand slam, but Shannon wasn't there, so no one mention it. Also, Shannon now has to sit in the car facing away from the field for all Jake's at-bats.
Score after one and a half innings: 11U Blue 10, Roanoke Rapids 1
Third inning
Bryce walked and went to second on an error. Gavin walked. A wild pitch moved Bryce to third, and Gavin stole second. A wild pitch moved up both runners. Elias hit an RBI single.
Score after two and a half innings: 11U Blue 12, Roanoke Rapids 1
Fourth inning
Andrew reached on an error and stole second. A wild pitch put him on third. Jake walked and stole second. Ben singled home Andrew. JT walked. Colin drew an RBI walk. Bryce beat out an RBI fielder's choice. Gavin lined a two-run single. Elias smacked another RBI single. Coach Sean committed some egregious rules violations.
Score after three and a half innings: 11U Blue 18, Roanoke Rapids 1
Pitching Performances
Andrew allowed just one hit in his two innings.
JT threw a scoreless third.
Colin fired a hitless fourth.
Dugout wisdom (PG-13 rated!)
It was very nice of Ashlee to make a delicious between-games snack for everyone. Unfortunately, she didn't have an exact name for it, which resulted in it somehow being known as (EARMUFFS!) "schweaty balls."
That led to, as West Raleigh put up five runs in the top of the first, Asher turning to Coach Kevin and saying, "Those schweaty balls are really working."
JT threw a scoreless third.

Game 3 Web Gems
- 11U Blue has found a lot of ways to turn double plays this summer, and they logged their first 3-6 double play in the second. With a runner on first, Drew snagged a grounder and tagged the bag, then threw a missile to Gavin covering second, who slapped on the tag.
- Asher made a nice running catch on the line in right against the leadoff man in the third.
- Textbook PFP work from Andrew (at first base?!?) and Colin in the fourth, as Andrew gobbled up a grounder and Colin got over to cover the bag.
