Slippery Rock, PA June 7 & 8

We took our second road trip on Thursday and Friday. Thursday morning I woke up at 6:45 and made myself an omelet with a toasted English muffin on the side. Since we were going on the road for two days I wanted to get a good workout in before I left so I went to the gym and did a good upper and lower body workout. Then I drove to the stadium and went for a mile run around the VA complex. After that I packed my bags and loaded my stuff on the bus. The ride to Slipper Rock wasn't too bad. We stopped just before the PA border and got lunch. Once we got to our hotel we checked in and changed into our uniforms then went to the park. We played fine at the beginning of the game but we couldn't hit very well late in the game. When I came into the game it was the 8th inning when we were down by 1 with the bases loaded. I did ok, not too great. I ended up giving up two runs before the inning was over. They weren't hitting the ball hard but it just kept falling in the gaps. We didn't score any runs in the top of the 9th so we ended up losing the game. Afterwards we went back to the hotel, showered, then went out to eat. The restaurant was about a mile down the road so it was like an 8 minute walk. The place we went to was called Elephant & Castle. I got chicken fingers with fries and it hit the spot.
The next day we had to be out of our rooms by 11. We weren't gonna leave the hotel til 4 so we made a trip to the outlet mall down the road. It was a huge outlet mall. They had every store you could imagine; Polo, Nike, J Crew etc. I made a couple purchases today; I got a Polo T Shirt and a J Crew button down. When we got back to the hotel we watched part of the NCAA Super Regional games in the lobby. We left around four and when we got to the park JT Miller and I went for a run. The stadium is on the Slippery Rock University campus so JT and I ran around their campus which was actually pretty hilly which made the run tough. The game tonight went much better than last night. We hit the ball well and the pitching staff was on top of their game. The final score was 10 to 3. We're currently on the bus back to Chillicothe where we will sleep tonight then leave tomorrow at 1 for Richmond.
