The games are underway at Boshamer Stadium at UNC! Today I began the day by setting up the field for the first tournament game and made sure everything followed NCAA regulations. There were many officials from NCAA who were checking every tiny detail of the stadium and telling us what we needed to do to ensure fair and legal play. After this, we had some down time before UNC and UNCW would come out to warm up before their game at 2. We had lunch catered for us and we had to wear special event shirts. I felt really cool because I could walk anywhere I wanted and I could go into the staff only tent, park in the reserved parking, go underneath the stadium and in the locker room, and go on the field. I am really happy that I chose this as my WEP because so far it has been a really cool experience that I would never have been able to do otherwise. The first game was in the final inning, the game was tied and runners were on the bases and UNC was batting – they were about to win. Then it started pouring and there was lightning. So, we had to pull the tarp over the field. I have always seen other people do this when I’ve been to pro or college games, but it was really fun to be able to do it myself. While it was raining, we sat in the dugout and talked to the team. They were upset about the rain delay. The game was delayed for two hours and it still is, so I headed home. I am not sure if they will be able to fit in the second game tonight, so I think they will have to postpone it until tomorrow. In the end, I had another fantastic day at the baseball stadium. The people are great, and the job is great. It’s a great day to be a Tar Heel.
