Apparently UVA challenging a VT substitution mistake
He was likely gone last year until they went on the once-in-a-lifetime run that auto extended his contract by 2 years. Year later, $7M to get rid of him. lmao
Hokies with a couple runners in bottom of 5th but Wahoos stalling
Lemley gives up a leadoff homerun. 2-2
Pretty clear they are pitching around Chatfield and unfortunately it worked
New pitcher for UVA
Lemley overcomes, still 2-1 to bottom of fourth
Lemley had ball bounce in front of plate and then hit a girl and it's a HBP. Didn't know that was a thing.
It does. Right now Hokies are 4th mainly because of how many byes we had. Curious if other schools didn't send their lesser guys on purpose.

what if I want to send the pizza to a dog? They're doing the heavy lifting/s
I've got to know if Jessie took the gold nuggets or the phone. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the phone won't appreciate in value.
Speaking of Unalakleet, wanted to make sure I let everyone know early enough about the pizza for the mushers tradition at Unalakleet. Last year I mentioned it late and remember the comment from someone about why didn't know this sooner as they would have totally sent Paige a pizza! And then the discussion about how to explain it to their wife.
Peace on Earth will have fan-ordered pizzas ready for the teams. Article linked below from last year and the website for the restaurant if anyone wants to send one.

"UNALAKLEET – They're selling love by the slice at the local pizzeria.
Encouraging messages from all over the globe come with each pizza that the Peace on Earth restaurant delivers to this Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race checkpoint, about three-quarters of the way into the 1,000-mile race. The mushers have been arriving here at the edge of Alaska, cold and tired after long stretches with only sled dogs to keep them company."

The top teams are all well on their way through the Kaltag loop. Discussions with some of the mushers further back suggest that they are planning to try and take it easy on the loop to make sure their teams have enough left in the tank for the Kaltag portage to Unalakleet on the coast (more on that below) as and the final 400 miles to Nome.
Jessie Holmes pulled into Anvik at 12:34 AM local time/4:34 AM east coast with 14 dogs and is resting there now. As the first to reach the checkpoint, he wins the Dorothy G. Paige Halfway award. He has the choice between $3,000 worth of gold nuggets or a new phone with 1 year of service.
Current standings at about 10:45 AM:
1. Jessie Holmes resting in Anvik 603 miles in/525 to Nome (14 dogs into the checkpoint)
2. Paige Drobny running 13 dogs 594 miles in/534 to Nome
3. Matt Hall running 11 dogs 589 miles in/539 to Nome
4. Michelle Phillips resting in Grayling 582 miles in/546 to Nome (14 dogs into the checkpoint)
5. Ryan Redington resting in Grayling 582 miles in/546 to Nome (12 dogs into the checkpoint)
6. Mitch Seavey resting in Grayling 582 miles in/546 to Nome (11 dogs into the checkpoint)
7. Nic Petit resting in Grayling 582 miles in/546 to Nome (12 dogs into the checkpoint)
8. Millie Porsild resting in Grayling 582 miles in/546 to Nome (14 dogs into the checkpoint)

10. Travis Beals running 14 dogs 548 miles in/580 to Nome - Travis is the only musher that has completed their 8-hour layover on the Kaltag loop. I also heard from someone on the Insider's chat that you can take your 8-hour in Kaltag and that a lot of teams hope to go it the second time they are there before the portage to the sea.
Goes against the Hokies and ends the inning with bases loaded
