Anatomy of a Rebel Celebration

When the Rebels finally nailed down their thrilling 3-2 victory over Washington with a Scott Weathersby pitch, the players raced out of the dugout to celebrate.
It was the culmination of a long day of tense baseball, tedious rain delays and hot Swayze cheering.
HottyToddy.com captured the images in time-lapse fashion through the lens of photographer Andy Knef. The dedicated Rebel fans who stayed though a 90-minute rain delay were just as delirious with excitement.
Enjoy these scenes of pure baseball joy that starts with Sikes Orvis’ triple, Will Allen’s happy landing on home plate and climaxes with Weatherby’s gritty strikeout and proceeds to a series of joyous celebrations on the field with the cameramen and ladies right in the middle of it.
Enjoy, onto Lafayette, then to Omaha, and Hotty Toddy:
Allen is scoring the biggest run of his life.
It’s official — the Rebels lead 3-2.
The last Washington batter strikes out against Scott Weathersby to end the game.
The celebration is on!
Here we come, Lafayette! Get ready!
We love you Scott for that gritty save!
Look out Scott, don’t get trampled.
Pure happiness!
It doesn’t get any better than this. Not yet, anyway.
Let’s all get in the act!
Guys, guys — we have to congratulate some valiant Huskies.
Congratulations on a great series.
Happy Rebel fans share the excitement,
