 | Acosta Takes Tumble Over Tarp
Thursday, May 31st, 2012: "I just need to pay closer attention to my surroundings," chuckled Manny Acosta of the Sycamores, after tripping over the automatic tarp at Pit Vipers Ballpark this afternoon. The tarp had been rolled out as the result of a brief rain shower during afternoon practice. Acosta raced out onto the field as the tarp was being rolled up and, after being momentarily distracted, stepped awkwardly on the edge of the mechanism. Having apparently twisted his ankle, Acosta immediately fell to the ground and writhed in pain for a few moments. "It looked pretty painful", said teammate Mike Anderson. Acosta was able to make light of the incident, despite the fact that it might cost him a game or two. "Hey, I'm lucky," Acosta said with a smirk. "Those things can be real death traps!"
