It’s the sort of fish tale you wouldn’t believe if someone told it to you straight.
Okay, they’re the best team in the country, right? Only they haven’t been playing like it lately. Ace’s been out. Senior leader’s been hurt. They came into the tournament having lost five of six.
They needed to come back against some Ivy Leaguers. And they barely beat the little in-state school the next day — though, get this: The replacement for that senior leader and captain, who’s essentially never played, hits the game-winning homer.
And then the rains come — they always do — and they don’t get to play the next game until a full day after it should’ve started.
