"Pine Creek left-fielder Christian Hinson comes up short on a double off the bat of Cherry Creek's Grant McCabe allowing a run to score in the top of the third inning of a CHSAA 5A State baseball playoff game at All-City Field in Denver, Friday, May 20, 2011. Cherry Creek defeated Pine Creek 10-4."
"Pine Creek relief pitcher Josh Prater is framed by Cherry Creek on deck batter Ian Wilson (4) while delivering a pitch during the seventh inning of a CHSAA 5A State baseball playoff game at All-City Field in Denver, Friday, May 20, 2011. Cherry Creek defeated Pine Creek 10-4."
I walked into All-City Field around 3:30 for what was supposed to be a 4 p.m. start between Pine Creek and Cherry Creek but to my surprise the 2 p.m. game hadn't even started yet. I panicked for a brief moment, thinking I was at the wrong field, before seeing Pine Creek sitting in the stands...waiting.
The delayed start turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I was treated to some of the best late afternoon light that you're ever going to get. Good light and decent action and you'll rarely hear me complain.
The near 9:15 finish had me scrambling to make a 9:30 deadline but I made it with two minutes to spare.
