Wrong team


"O'Fallon right fielder Sonnie Rollins makes a diving catch in the fourth inning during the IHSA Class 4A State baseball third place game at Silver Cross Field in Joliet, Saturday, June 13, 2009. O'Fallon defeated Cary-Grove 3-2."

I had a marathon 12-hour day covering Cary-Grove in the third place game in Joliet and then driving back to the office to tone photos on the desk all night. It sure wasn't the ideal situation but it wasn't too bad since I carpooled again with writers Joe and Maureen and slept part of the way home. It seems as though we may be a bit of bad luck because once again our local team lost.

The sun was out and I had a whole overhead third position to myself outside the luxury suites so I didn't have much to complain about. For the second day in a row neither of my remotes produced anything but I did make a few average action frames with my handheld like the one above. The only problem was that it was of the wrong team, which happens to me way too often. This photo isn't good for our coverage but it's great for my blog.
