"When I was a kid, we would come to this ballpark."

Placerville native, former Nevada baseball coach and Mariners field coordinator Jake McKinley says it's a "surreal moment" to be back in Sacramento as Seattle faces off with the A's.

Right foot lands 3” in foul territory. Natural back to bag will be fair to inside part of the bag.

[Zak Blair @coachzblair10]

Coaches: When a runner is on 3rd base- is it down in foul back in fair or down in foul back in foul?

[Dan Tating @DTating]

@NAIABall Such a travesty that these two teams were in the same bracket! With 10 sites, how do two teams from the west end up in the same place? Especially when multiple other sites are similar travel for Hope.🤔

[Nate Rasmussen @RasmussenBase]

When I said the PNW and CCC were underrated by every metric, this is what I meant. @PEARatings and other predictive sites have had UBC as a top 10 team in the country all year, but RPI and BoChip / the selection committee put them as a 3 seed. The three true West teams in the 46-man field are 5-1, with the only loss being to another West team (LCSC over Hope today). Frustrating stuff.

@JermaineCurtis @Br0Dude We use the Blast which can actually give attack angle feedback while we give an external target at the back of the cage that is 12 degrees.
Also, set the machine at 12-15 degrees. All help towards the goal.

[Dan Tating @DTating]

@JermaineCurtis @Br0Dude 8 to 20 degrees…although difficult to train launch angle (result). Training attack angle (process) is much easier.

@NAIABall @LCSCBaseball @tamuvjagball @HIUBaseball @KeiserBaseball Surprised they didn’t put UBC in this bracket too. Anything to consolidate the West Coast teams.

FINAL! Simpson stays alive behind a 13-5 victory against Florida National. Red Hawks score 10 runs across the final two innings to pull away in the 3-1 contest.

🚨CAC Baseball Hitter of the Week: JJ Torrente

[Dan Tating @DTating]

@NWBBstats Par for the course. Teams from the west are always underrepresented, Midwest teams are always overrepresented.

In the last 30 years, 28 of the national champions are from the West or the South, but 1/2 the ranked teams every year are from Midwest.
