This is the location of “ball 4” from Walker McDuffie to load the bases ahead of USC’s grand slam 2 pitches later

Not only would this have been strike 3 but the 3rd out, meaning the game goes to bottom 6, UNC leading 5-2

Who knows what happens from there but that’s a HUGE CALL

To the Christian athlete/coach:

Remembering where our true identity rests can be challenging, especially when we are frequently met with expectations, wins and losses, performance, stats, injuries, and a multitude of earthly values/challenges that can fade/strip our joy, and make us quickly forget the gifts we’ve been given by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A lot of us have heard the saying “Audience of One,” and a lot of us say it often. Which is great. However, it can be hard to remember the truth of that saying in the heat of everything. I remember in college specifically asking one of my community group friends at church (who now plays in the NBA) how he kept this a constant aspect of his life as an athlete because we face a lot of the same struggles as Christian athletes/coaches.

So, what is something we can do to help us remember this when we’re the man or woman in the arena?

What my buddy talked to me about, and what I ended up learning from him and implementing into my own life, was giving myself a constant visual reminder when I was on the field so I could actually remember the truth of it.

In the dirt by my feet at shortstop, I would write “AO1” before the first inning of every game and rewrite it as the game went on so it was always there. (When we played on turf, I would write it on my wrist tape or somewhere else.)

The point was that I looked down at some point before every pitch, and I wanted it to be somewhere I looked often, somewhere that blocked out all the noise, where I couldn’t see ANYTHING other than “AO1.”

This was my reminder that I had been given the platform and gift of baseball to honor Jesus, and that I wasn’t playing for the approval of a worldly audience that will find every reason to disapprove at some point. Rather, I was playing for an audience of ONE who already approves of me always and forever, no matter what happens in ANY baseball game.

The weight this took off my shoulders, and still does, is indescribable. It helps the former athlete and coach in me remember what the real purpose of this platform of baseball (or any sport) is: to know Jesus as my Savior and help make Him known to those who don’t know Him, and to use the gifts he’s so graciously given to honor him and nothing else. When I start to feel the weight of everything else, this helps free me, and I’m only free because of Him and the price He paid on the cross.

This changed everything for me when I fully understood AO1 and committed to remembering the importance of keeping that mindset. I hope it can do the same for you. It’s great to say it, but it’s even better to help yourself remember it as much as you possibly can.

Path to Supers Difficulty

This takes who each team faced in the regional round and adds up the total TSR faced by that team.

Oklahoma facing Georgia Tech three times is the hardest path out of anyone. Even though Auburn lost game one, they still had one of the easier paths.

A huge thank you to the people of Chapel Hill and UNC, who are mighty kind and hospitable.

And a tip of the cap to @DiamondHeels. This program is absolutely humming. Crisp, well-rounded, and they play so dang hard. Opposing coaches gush about their effort. Dominant weekend.
