Mid-Illini volleyball tonight for my first stop. The Morton Potters (16-6, 6-2) host the Metamora Redbirds (10-9, 5-3). Their first meeting was back on Sep. 12, which the Potters won in three sets.

If I’m the coach, this is the first bullet point on my resume for any future job interview.

This is a big brother swing.

The beautiful Shirk Center at Illinois Wesleyan.

What a play by Morton's Hannah Nieukirk to somehow dig this ball out to keep the play alive and moments later dumped the ball over for a Potters point. Potters (Morton Potter Athletics) beat Metamora in two sets to complete the season sweep.

This was a new one for me: A national anthem rendition on the electric guitar. This guy at the Normal West-Normal Community volleyball game crushed it!

Patrick Cunningham So you heard Victor Rodas' performance of the national anthem at last night's volleyball game? Check out the Inkspot's interview with Rodas from May and give his guitar playing a listen at bit.ly/4bHpRVE

Meanwhile the American League teams with a bye are 3-1 in their opening round series. Quit complaining and go win.

OMG. We all had a collected gasp when we saw this from our reporter. The fabric on the roof of Tropicana Field is shredded. #StPete #Milton

Fire and Rescue report NO INJURIES! Lineman and first responders were staging here for storm recovery. 🙏🏻

My first MLB regular season game was at the Trop. Born and lived in Tampa until I was 9. Very somber to see.

Confirmed on the reports on Tropicana Field: No first responders were being staged at Tropicana Field and the essential personnel that were there are all accounted for and safe.
