Day 1: Women's College World Series - May 28, 2009 | 16:09:25
posted by: Ryan Powell
Here's a slideshow from the afternoon session. The morning session had the second-highest attendance ever - 6,093. EARLIER:
Couple of early observations: The weather is great. The smell around the stadium is a mix of fresh air and sunscreen. Lemonade seems to be the drink of choice for folks. There's a great crowd on hand for the opening games. Washington had a small, but boisterous crowd for their game. Lots of Missouri fans ... they're easy to spot in the yellow shirts. ESPN has cameras everywhere. After the games, fans can get autographs from the student-athletes. The Bulldogs stayed out for 10 minutes signing posters for fans. Pretty cool stuff, since they lost to Washington. There's a photo in the gallery. Missouri's players warmed up by juggling balls in a group. Check out the photo in the gallery. Washington (making its 9th trip to the WCWS) improved to 9-4 this season versus teams in the WCWS field.

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
