For someone who is anal-retentive about time and is never late, I was really late today.  I thought the game was at 3pm so I arrived at 2:10 thinking I would be early and could get some photos of the warm-up.  However, the game had been moved to 2pm and I arrived at the bottom of the 1st missing Andrew Brackman&#8217;s opening pitch.  That was something I wanted so I&#8217;m already messing this project up.  Thankfully Brack&#8217;s pitching was better than my luck as the Wolfpack took out the William &amp; Mary Tribe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gopack.com\/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9200&amp;ATCLID=791527\">9-4<\/a>.  I didn&#8217;t spend much time getting action photos; instead I spent most of the time in the dugout and clubhouse getting pics of the players.<\/p>\n<p>When the game was over, I rode with Brack to the weight-room where he took the initiative on his own to get some running in before going to dinner.
