Panoramic view of J.L. Johnson Stadium during Summit League Tournament Championship Game, May 29, 2010, from balcony outside the Grand Slam Room. I made this by joining eight pics, using Microsoft Image Composit Editor (ICE), a free and very easy to use "stitching" program - I highly recommend it!

For those of you that are out of town and others that are interested, here are the highlights of the ORU Championship game. It has a great view of the play showing the flyout to LF and tagout at the plate for a double play. Enjoy!

Glad to get to see Elder's throw home to make the out. I had a wedding to attend on Saturday and left exactly at 2:30, so I missed that play, which occurred JUST after I left JLJ. I was walking to my car, listening on my little radio, and hear Geoff say something to the effect of, "Fly ball to left field, Elder is under it and makes the catch, the runner on third tags up and heads home, Elder's throw to home is . . . . IN TIME!!! Sawyer is out at home!!" There was no one at JLJ more excited by that play!

I'm pleased to see it after hearing Geoff's description. Classic bang-bang play at home.

Wow, another game mysteriously low on score updates from the opponents. Must be a Van Halen concert going on or something

I just don't get this. To my knowledge there are just 3 SDSU fans that visit on here and none have talked smack. In fact 2 of the 3 of us have offered congrats on your tourney win. I offered congrats on Saturday night b/c I knew we wouldn't take 2-in-a-row and b/c I knew I was going to be gone Sunday and Monday. But I know you need to hate me, so, go nuts...

I think Pickar has really matured, or improved, or whatever you want to call it, over the course of the season. He missed some plays just like that earlier in the season. I wrote up a fairly lengthy post on that very subject on Saturday night, but somehow I lost it, and didn't have the energy at that point to re-write it. Bennett made not one but two big-time plays at home plate over the weekend - he also made a similar play in the first game, in the sixth inning, where Stitz, I believe it was, tried to go under the tag. Couldn't tell for sure if Bennett got him or not, but he sold it to the ump, and Stitz was called out, to his boisterous disapproval. Sowers made a very heads-up play from third to get Stitz on his way home.

Two great plays by our freshman catcher that I'm not sure he would have made earlier in the season.
