Matt pitches for the Central Michigan University Chippewas and was the losing pitcher yesterday despite pitching five strong innings--the sixth was a problem, but the bigger problem was the shutout Western's Chad Mayle threw at the Chips. Original photo (not much different) here . 99 game photographs--none especially good-- here .

Central Michigan shortstop Jordan Dean relays the ball to first in the sixth inning of yesterday's game between the Chips and the MSU Spartans at CMU's Theunissen Stadium (which is apparently pronounced like Tennyson). The second baseman is Pat MacKenzie, who initiated the play , the umpire's Mark Ditsworth, and that foot belongs to MSU's Ryan Jones, who was forced out but came in hard . The relay failed to catch MSU batter/runner Torsten Boss. Ugly game, though both starting pitchers did well; Michigan State won 11-1. Original photo here . 1,413 game photos here . I may have gotten carried away. The little camera did all right.

Took my new camera to the ballyard this afternoon. Experimented a bit. Solved some things. Got chilled. Nearly lost my hat to the wind. Michigan State's Ryan Jones at bat; William Arnold catching for the Central Michigan Chippewas. Aluminum bats just don't sound right.... Original photo here .
