HOLE 4: 220 yds., par three (average score: 3.27). This hole often makes you think you're playing in a wind tunnel because of tall trees behind and alongside of the green. The wind is usually against you, but it shifts quickly, and you've got to watch it like a sparrow hawk. Once when I was paired with Hogan, Ben hit a full drive into a gale and he was short.

...contest was played in a Dumbing wind, much like Monday's game. Both teams suffered from cold hands, committing a total of eight fielding miscues. Every infielder for the Crimson flubbed at least once with Durso, off to a rocky start, making two errors...
...Jumbos capitalized on a five-run fifth inning (all unearned) to capture the victory under gray skies as a 25 mile-per-hour wind blowing in from left field made it feel colder than the 40 degrees recorded...
