DAWGS Survive to Play in Finals!
Aquin v. Winner of Dakota v. Rockford Christian Life
Whatever it was, It turned into a 'W'!
For those who weren't there to witness the stunning 'come-from-behind-rain-delay victory' pulled off by the Aquin DAWGS last night, we can sum it up for you quickly. Think back to the Chicago Cubs' World Series Game 7 victory. That is what happened.
Now, whether it was the coaches' shout-out to Jason Heyward from the dug-out when the game was delayed--or the text sent to Fr. Anderson for a few extra prayers for his DAWGS while he was in Adoration--we'll never know.
But whatever it was, it was a 'W' by 1 run and that's all we needed to advance to the finals on Saturday. Click here for photos and videos of the game.
So come out on Saturday to Highland for the 1st pitch at 11am. Admission is $5 and concessions--featuring Mr. Flink's Fabulous Grill--will be open. Please park in the paved lots on the HCC campus and come up over the hill. If you are elderly or handicapped, the lot off Pearl City Road is reserved for you.
We do know that there is rain in the forecast for Saturday, but are hopeful the game will be played--and no 'rain delay miracles' will be needed! Our usual alert systems (Remind and Facebook) will be used if changes to the schedule are made.
