Thanks for the live feed....almost felt like I was there. two wonderfully pitched games by the sounds of it.

 

Butler v Providence

Great performance by Butler, especially the key hits in the 7th. Varnadoe was masterful on the mound and got it things started in the 7th with a lead-off double. Great game (as was the MP vs. AK game that opened things off).

Best part of it all was watching two of the best players in the state make huge plays in the deciding 7th inning. With bases loaded, the score 0-0, and nobody out a swinging bunt was hit down the 3d base line. Shaffer gloved the ball on a dead sprint. The runner is also flying down the line, so there's no way he's gonna get him out. Shaffer then proceeds to shovel the ball straight from his glove to the catcher, making the spectacular out at home. It was unbelievable. While the crowd went absolutely nuts, I glanced over at Tewell, who was getting ready to step into the on deck circle. To say he looked determined might be the biggest understatement I've ever made. 2 minutes later he hit an absolute bomb to dead center field. Only at MP, with its 400 ft fence in center, does that ball not go out. It traveled 399 feet, hit the base of the wall, and cleared the bases. Nothing better than clutch plays by clutch players at clutch times. The level of baseball played in this conference never ceases to amaze me.

 

Shaffer's was the absolute best defensive play I have seen all year!
