  1. W & M lost to C of C 3-1. The Tribe will play either UNC Wilmington or Delaware in an elimination game later this evening.

  2. The ACC tournament is being held in Greensboro, N.C. In between innings at the Georgia Tech/Clemson game, they are playing R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People" over the sound system.

  4. Down the right field line at the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, there's a big grassy hill where people can sit and watch the game. There are about 15 boys down there playing some sort of never-ending athletic contest. Every once in a while a foul ball lands on the hill, and the boys all scramble after it.
