75 minutes to first pitch

posted by David Cloninger, 6/01/2009 04:43:00 PM

Greetings once again from Greenville, N.C., and the final game of the NCAA Regionals. The crowd was here early, as were the teams and the writers. Not sure of everybody else, but I didn’t have anything better to do.

The Gamecocks are here and accounted for, wearing their warm-ups right now but each toting their gray caps with garnet brims. Since they’ve debuted, they’re 2-0.

East Carolina is the home team and will send freshman Patrick Somers to the hill. USC faced him on Saturday and scored four runs off him in an inning. Ray Tanner rests his hopes on veteran Jay Brown, who can make this a heck of a last week with a quality start tonight – earlier this week, he was granted a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA.

No. 7 North Carolina awaits the winner in Chapel Hill, N.C., next week (whether it’s a Friday or Saturday start will be announced at 11 p.m.) Should be a wild one tonight.

Back in a bit.
