Though Penn would top the War Tigers, Rider would take down Coastal Cackalacky—both in extras—and Oral Roberts would establish state baseball dominance over The Okie Pokes, The Diamond Dores had no such issues with their #4 seed, the Eastern Illinois University Sex Panthers, dispatching them 12-2 in a game that was effectively over by the 3rd inning.
Our Saturday opponent, the Mighty Ducks, though, nearly got Jaime Moyer’d to death, as Xavier’s soft-tossing crafty lefty Brant “Dr. Zaius” Alazaus had the Jesuits up 4-3 until the 7th inning. In the 7th, all those pitches Dr. Zaius threw in the 1st inning caught up to him, and Xavier had to go to the pen.
