CWS: 7th inning stretch

By Lindsay Schnell - June 24, 2006

Let's reflect on a few things during the 7th inning stretch:

--I'm convinced an OSU coach went and worked with the UNC defense on double plays. Who's the traitor?! The Tar Heels look great in the field -- they've turned two (and were close to turning a third), picked off a runner at third and caught a runner stealing second. But they're also on their third pitcher -- right-hander Jonathan Hovis came in midway through the seventh to replace Matt Danford.
--Roy Williams is cruising through the crowd and looks remarkably tan. Rumor has it that Mr. Basketball himself, Michael Jordan, will be here tomorrow ...
--Erin Andrews and the other ESPN sideline reporter are BOTH dressed in light blue ... let's hear it for objectivity!
--During the rain delay I saw quite a few UNC fans hiding under the shelter. Psh. The true Oregonians know a little rain never hurt anyone and were out in the stands the whole time. Nice work, Northwesterners!

Buck just got pulled. He had a MUCH better showing than the other night against Miami, even if he did give up three runs. It's all tied up at 3 apiece. Joe Patterson is in to pitch for the Beavers; UNC has one runner on second and there's just one out.
