And the Battle for first continues . . .

What a contrast from Monday’s game to Tuesday! A pitcher's duel the first night and hits galore the second. Wished I’d made it to the park, but got lost driving to the park and ended up umpiring at a little league game. I knew I shouldn’t have worn my mask while operating a vehicle. What a show it must have been from both teams. I’m so proud of the Railroaders for not resting on a 6-0 lead and good thing too. Those Hounds just don’t quite, do they? The game appeared to have everything and I see it lasted almost 4 hours too. A combined 32 hits total, 4 homeruns including a grand slam by Cory Hodskins (not Cory White) and a 3 run homer by Zak Shy, 21 men walked, 5 hit by pitch, and more. With a final 19-13, I’m wonder if that isn’t a league record for most runs scored in a game at 32. I need to try harder to get to the games when I’m called upon to serve, I always seems to miss being a part of the best ones!

The Railroaders head back to U.C. tonight for the final series and regular season game with the Greyhounds. Our record thus far against the Hounds is 4-5, what a race this is turning out to be!

We all also pray and wish for a speeding recovery for Greyhound short stop Ross Muirhead who was injured on the first at bat of the game. A bunt attempt fowled off into his face and he had to be taken to Jackson for treatment. Hang in there Ross!

  2. Hey, everyone cancel their plans for the all star game, because apparently the league can't figure out how to post the roster!

    :(
