NCAA College Baseball Regionals – Irvine, Ca – Day 3
Sunday. We finally had a game while the sun was still out, which meant two things: 1) our team had lost a previous game and had to win all the rest to not get eliminated, 2) better for taking photos (ISO 200 rather than 1600). The game was scheduled to start at 4pm and I [...]
