UNC vs Stanford NCAA baseball super regional game
North Carolina baseball players celebrate with coach Mike Fox after defeating Stanford
I took pictures last weekend at the North Carolina vs Stanford super regional college baseball game for the Associated Press. I’ve never been particularly good at shooting baseball; add to that the fact that I haven’t shot baseball in over seven years. All in all, though, I was pretty happy with the pictures I got. UNC won and advanced to the College World Series, so there was some pretty nice celebration pictures after the game. The only bad part of the night was the 3.5 hour delay for rain and lightning. Fortunately, I was able to make a decent photo illustrating the scene.
