ODU takes down #2 UNC

Well what can I say???? Old Dominion rallied and brought down the #2 team in the nation last night, University of North Carolina. Sounded like a crazy game, wish I was there...but I have never heard Travis on such a high from a win!!!! This makes it all worth while! Today the Monarchs are travelling to Charlottesville, VA to play a #16 ranked UVA Cavaliers. I just hope that their high and enthusiasm carries over to tonights game at 4pm!!!! Once again
CONGRATS OLD DOMINION MONARCHS!!!!

Opening Weekend

Hey all!!!! Well this last weekend was supposed to be Opening Weekend at ODU baseball complex...due to weather issues Friday and Saturday's games were cancelled due to excessive rain in the outfield!!! BUMMER!!!! The Monarchs finally got to play a double header yesterday against Rutgers. First game was difficult to watch, not because it was only 30 degrees but we couldn't hit very well...we lost our first game of the season 7-1. The second game we looked much better, the pitcher had a vendetta and really threw beautifully! I think the 20 scouts there helped a little with the adrenaline!!! Yes I said about 20 scouts all with their radar guns ( I know that's not the official name of it but that's what I call it) poised so nicely waiting for the pitch and simultaneously view the speed of the pitch. It was so intriguing to me to watch...A whole other world at Division 1 play...back to the game...the boys had a solid 3 or 4th inning scoring 4 runs to their 3 errors...and we pulled it through in the end for a 8-5 victory. So the weekend wasn't totally shot. I can't wait until next weekend's events...HSC is coming into town playing Virginia Wesleyan and Temple is playing ODU. I am excited to see the HSC boys again...yes I am skipping the ODU Saturday game to go and watch HSC, traitor I know, but a promise is a promise!!!!
This week is a busy one for Travis and the Monarchs. They travel to University of North Carolina tomorrow and back onto the road on Wednesday headed to University of Virginia. I will keep you all posted on how this week goes...Have a great week!!
