The battle for a spot in the College World Series has begun. The regionals are now underway at Boshamer Stadium in Chapel Hill! Today I spent the day monitoring and maintaining the field as teams practiced all day. It was really cool to see all the teams and to meet the coaches. We worked with the operations crew to aid them in setting up the “front of the house” stuff that all of the fans will see. Also, we had to hang a lot of “NCAA” banners and wall stickers because since it is a televised NCAA event, it is regulation. It was a really busy day today, but we are all ready for the games to begin tomorrow. They’ve put me to work doing various jobs on and off the field including watering the grass, placing sod, raking the infield, posting NCAA advertisements, and a lot more. Towards the end of the day, we had to go over to the football stadium and get a refrigerator and relocate it into the baseball locker room. Tomorrow the first game is at 2pm, so everyone will be rushing around in the morning getting everything ready for all of the fans to come! It’s a great day to be a Tar Heel.
