Bluer than blue
The Jaguars' opponents today in their 8 a.m. (CDT) game — the Bayside Blues — have yet to taste victory this week.
The Blues dropped their first-round game of championship play on Wednesday morning, 6-5, at the hands of the Windmills, from nearby Rock Point, Ill.
In pool play, the Blues went 0-2. They lost their opener on Monday, 6-1, to Matton Pride (Ill.) and bowed to the Hoosier Pride (Ind.) on Tuesday, 10-1.
In their three games, the Blues have been outscored, 22-7.
Breakfast of... ?
Before the Jaguars' pool-play game against the Lemont Rockers on Tuesday at Campbell Softball Complex, Jim Wilson was spotted destroying a bratwurst sandwich, loaded to the gills with toppings.
It should be noted, that was at 10... in the morning.
“The breakfast of champions!” Jim, the dad of Jaguar Liz Wilson, said through his trademark smile. “It was the smell... I just couldn't let it go, so I had to have one.”
The following morning over at Campbell Sports Complex, Wilson was sitting next to the dugout... sans the bratwurst sandwich.
“That didn't do much for me yesterday,” he said. “Today, I had a Poptart and some juice.”
Double duty
Not only did Courtney Francis smack two hits — including a double — and catch six innings in the Jaguars' first-round championship game against the South Dakota Flash on Wednesday, she also saved tournament officials from a possible call from PETA.
