8/11/11 makeup game and NE Semi-finals

Yesterday was a great weather day here in Bristol. We had our two games that were postponed from the other night along with the two New England Semi-finals. We are down to final 8 teams, 4 NE and 4 mid-Atlantic. Now we are win and move on or lose and go home. Winners in finals. CT vs RI and NH vs Mass. Much to our surprise the two lower seeds won. RI knocks out CT and Mass knocks out NH. NH was 4 and 0 in pool play. Really thought NH would at least be in finals. But 7 errors in field and cold bats did not help them. Lesson learned by teams yesterday was play to win today not tomorrow.
My assignments were first and second yesterday. Nothing to close while on first. While on second had one play that stood out. Ball coming in from outfield player trying to stretch it to a double. The ball arrives to base in time, but a very high tag let the batter/runner slide under the play. He was safe. That was the TV game, and I was told by those watching I had it right. But 50% of the people at the field did not think so.
Today is the mid-Atlantic semi final I am at first base for the 3pm game. ESPN will be carrying that game. Then we have New England Final on Saturday and Mid-Atlantic Final on Sunday. Weather for Sunday is not sounding good. Stay tuned for assignments and other details.
