June 10-13th


Friday - Baseball Super Regional – Set Day

Long set day.  Lots of graphics.

Cranky & tired.  

I chose to eat left over pizza from last night.  I had a fridge, so I was able to keep it.  Just no microwave.  Never fear, I have been in this situation before! Dinner was cooked via blow dryer!

Didn’t sleep well at all.


Saturday - GM 1: UC Irvine vs 1 Virginia










Through three innings, UVA led by a 2-0. Then a rain delay was called in the top of the 4th inning.

It lasted 1 hour, 23 minutes.
Cranky Nicole.

Virginia eventually won.

It is crazy hot here.

Went to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays with my long time friend Barb and Christine.

We were able to make it back to the hotel in time for a couple of beers in the concierge lounge.


Sunday - GM 2: 1 Virginia vs UC Irvine










Since this is a “best of 3”, all we need is the favored team, Virginia, to win and we are all on a flight home tomorrow!!  This was something I really wanted because I have been on the road for 2 weeks now. I leave at 6a on Wednesday for vaca, so a bonus day at home would be HUGE!

Insert 4 hour rain delay here.

UVA led 3-0 in the 5th.  

Then in the 8th, the damn Anteaters scored 3 runs.  Serenity now!

UC Irvine one 6-4.

We left not knowing what time our game would be tomorrow.  Have to wait until all the games are finished tonight, to see how many games there are tomorrow – then programming will assign our time slots.


Monday - GM 3: UC Irvine vs 1 Virginia















Game tied… bottom of the 9th….  

UVA was down to its final strike with the bases empty before loading the bases, and Chris Taylor singled home the winning runs to set off pandemonium at Davenport Field.

There MAY have been some pandemonium in the truck too!

I helped the A-2 strike the booth and the field.  For some reason there was only one A-2 today and there was a ton to do.  Plus, I was in no rush.  Nothing to do tonight anyway.

Got back to the hotel late, hot and sweaty.  Showered, packed and headed to bed.

It’s official, my summer is here!  I managed to survive another year!!!
