In early June, Tunkhannock graduate and University of Virginia star Mike Papi thought he was headed to Wisconsin for the summer. A conversation with Virginia head coach Brian O'Connor changed Papi's plans. O'Connor convinced Papi he had a shot to represent his country instead. Rather than playing for the Chinooks in a collegiate summer wood bat league in Lake Shore, Wis., Papi went to Cary, N.C., with hopes of making the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team.
