Bracket play in Chesapeake began at noon at the
palatial Deep Creek Middle School, which was a really nice school in 1946. Let
this be fair warning: this blog comes with a content warning. If you have a
weak stomach, you may not want to read further and should just skip down to the
scoring summary.
This is an actual undoctored, unstaged photo of the bathrooms at the
facility:
Luckily, all the Canes were up on their tetanus
vaccinations, and they pounded out a 10-run inning in the third to cement a
13-0 win. A series of three Evoshield pitchers combined on a one-hitter and the
defense was flawless.

wild pitch. Ben drew a two-out walk. Asher slapped a two-out RBI single. Jake

Pitching Performances
Andrew started and faced the minimum in two
innings, striking out three.
Gavin tossed a perfect third, including a pair of
strikeouts.
Chace worked a scoreless third, ending it with
back-to-back strikeouts.
Dugout wisdom
This was the game in which we learned something
amazing: Colin makes the dot first when he writes his question marks. Stop the
madness.
