Trinity (Conn.) and Johns Hopkins had the first rain delay of the championships this evening, and although it was a brief one, the players on each side still found ways to entertain themselves.

One of them was by tossing a ball back and forth between dugouts, playing a long distance game of tic-tac-toe.

The game gets started, reportedly by Trinity first baseman Kent Graham

Trinity is impressing folks here. They play late again and Trinity is the one team who has escaped without the obligatory press conference due to the late hour. Johns Hopkins has yet to play their best game and still in the winners bracket. They will need those bats when they face the Bantams tonight.

With three errors each, the Liinfield/Trinity game was not the best played defensively. Linfield did played well offensively. They had a lot of runners on base but could not get the big hit. They threatened to pull off the upset and almost did, coming up just a run short.

The game is on and Kevin Zalnis just ties a WS record with assists in an inning (3)
