Boston College Vs. Miami (NCAA Super Regionals): In Miami, Birdball Continues To Play For Pete

The mainstream knew Pete Frates as the architect of the Ice Bucket Challenge. Now they're being reintroduced to him as the best friend and big brother of Boston College baseball.

This past weekend, two teams from two totally different backgrounds played some exhibition baseball. The Lexington Blue Sox of the Intercity League traveled south to take on the Cotuit Kettleers of the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League to play a doubleheader at historic Lowell Park. It served as the unofficial kickoff for the Cape League season, and it's a sign that even as the college season winds down with the NCAA Tournament, the summer season is dawning pretty quickly.
