Lineups are in: Coleman catching on - still

Virginia coach Brian O’Connor is staying with the hot hand (and hot glove). What does that mean? David Coleman, the flying, flipping outfielder is in the starting lineup against a lefty. It has been a long time since Oak gave the rookie that chance. It had been Patrick Wingfield in that spot. The lineup is as follows: 1. Miclat; 2. Cannon; 3. Adams; 4. Farrell; 5. Grovatt; 6. Gosselin; 7. Valdes; 8. Coleman; 9. Barr. ... Several Virginia fans made the trip, including former player Gabe Spooner (2002-2003). ... The weather is amazing. There is not a cloud in the sky and humidity is not a factor. They have a tarp, but they have unrolled only once all season. Back with further updates as the game approaches. ... The food at the ballpark is interesting. I have not seen a Kettle Korn stand at a college venue in my life. Fullerton fans must not be interested. Those jokers were tailgating at lunch, some seven hours before their team plays.
