3 run homer by Charlie Taylor! Vols up 9 to 1 in 5th.
He just hit another one! He was a double away from the cycle too.That’s awesome. A coworker of mine knows Chuck and his family and updates me periodically on him. He’s apparently a great defender, but has felt pressure to improve his hitting to stay in the lineup. Glad to see him have some success. It sounds like a total grind to be a college baseball player, particularly with so few scholarships, etc. Many of these guys are doing it out of a genuine love of the game, that’s for sure.
Ah yeah, those make sense because of the neighborhood. People plant crazy stuff. Only 4 native Acers (sugar maple, silver maple, red maple, and box elder) but people plant Japanese, Norway, and a plethora of weird crosses and Frankentrees.There was a bad fire back in 2019.
Wildfire rages deep inside NC’s Linville Gorge. Cause is found at abandoned campsite
Going back and looking at history of that walk. Virginia, Slash, Scots, EW, Red, Sand, Shortleaf, and a black. (it was in a gated community).
So my recollecrion of 20 was just a bit outside. Now that I go back and look, i was confusing many of the pines with the sheer amount of Quercus and Acers'.
Invasive throughout the US. Brought over from Asia.Considered invasive species in Georgia. Planted one in my yard back in 06, by 2015 was 40 feet tall and yard was nothing but dirt. Hurricane force winds in 18 tore it to pieces and I still fight to regain the yard
