Nice to meet you last Sunday and thanks for doing this Seth, so much different than the pre-blog days! Nice to have a head start on seeing this year's Cedar Rapids team.

Hurlbut was all Seth describes. In command the whole time. Good control, although high eighties on what might be a slow gun is a consideration. Williams and Atherton similarly strong. Ryan was there and it might be the pitching that emerged as the most notable feature of the game.

I will say this was one of the better played games of the year, great double play, until you factor in hitting with runner in scoring position. Also fear it suggests my expectations have totally eroded.
