Wednesday, June 9, vs Elmira
I almost sent around another rain warning for last night's game, but the clouds closed up in the afternoon and held off until well after our game was finished. My socks were wet from the outfield grass, but the field was quite playable.
Eleven of us came out, including five old guys like me, meaning that the young bucks who don't need the rest had to trade off catching and bench duty. We could all hit, however, and we did. The first four batters in the first inning all had hits and scored, driven in by the next five batters. The last two batters that didn't get up in the first then hit and scored in the second inning. By holding Elmira to three in the first and one in the second, we were up 6-4 after two innings. Mark DH had the big hit of the night, sending a line drive over the fence in left, but Mackenzie F also had a nice drive for a double, and there were a few other doubles on the night, as well. I wasn't coaching third, we had good baserunning to help score some runs. We ended up with eleven (11) runs, which Cal pointed out is double double digits. Elmira did mercy us in one inning, but then the relief pitchers (Steven M, John P, and Dave F) kept the score down in the last three innings.
Next week we play Tuesday, June 15, 7 pm on Diamond 'B', home vs Breslau. I am expecting (I think) Scott A, Brian M, Nathan M, Dave F. Cal J is gone the next two weeks, and some others are maybes. We could use some more over-30's! Please let me know if you can come.
