Memo to Section II baseball committee: Do whatever it takes to avoid another triple- or quadruple-header. Especially when Sectional titles are on the line.
Saturday's quadruple-header at Joe Bruno Stadium turned into a marathon that didn't end until more than 12 hours after it began at 12:30 p.m. with the Class C-CC final.

Yet, I must do a little self promotion for a couple of things that are happening with my music (yes, I haven't given up on being a singer-songwriter). This is mainly because over the next week, my profile as a musician is going to grow -- or at least be bigger than normal.
