Ballcoach, are you and TF fielding (or coaching) a softball team? I've got a buddy near your age who is swimming in these games.

Softball had a big presence at opening ceremonies last night. Jordan Dail carried torch into Vines Center and gave it to Dot Richardson, who lit the flame to signal start of games. Dail was handed the torch in Bedford by by D Day Veteran Bill Sisk.

His opponent was 1 point from winning the second game, but swung and missed the ball, opening door for TF to win.
