What a day!
Second scheduled doubleheader of the season after Monday's rained out opener. First and foremost I have to highlight #
2's (Neal) perfect day at the plate and the stellar error free play of #
22 (Al) at
second base. Al pulled off a diving play regaining his equilibrium and from his knees fired
to Tom at
2B to initiate a double play! Narcissistically, I'll mention Tinker's
two legs enjoying
20-
20 eyesight to start game one with
two consecutive walks followed by
two hits. We jumped on Harford from the git-go and prevailed 19-3 in the opener. Thunderous hits started us with Bobby D, Al, Jr and Fred showcasing muscle. Larry went the distance for win #1. In Tinker's rounding of
second base (having stepped in a hole) Evers played the last
two innings flawlessly in the infield.
OO started game
two and after
two innings of struggling with the wind requested Larry come in
to relieve. Having spotted Harford a sizable lead, Larry pitched a scoreless five innings
to claim victory #
2, 20-8. There were contributions from everyone
to include the hitting of Dave, Jim, Jerry & Tom. After
two seasons of failed attempts to become a "Bluesman" Joe White is finally on the roster and the man had a great day at the plate punching hit after hit in the gaps (Way
To Go Joe!).
Now that Evers has begun his managerial career
2-0 I'm celebrating with
TWO Black and Tans.
Two others
to mention with that being
double L (Lee Ludwig as 3b coach who excelled and Ben Davis as 1B coach {ain't no greater motivators}). Let's cube
today's number on Monday at home! And, yes Chance, the muscle was
too sore
to run in game
two.
It was a good time today. It is a pleasure to be part of a great bunch of guys. Thanks for letting me join in the fun.
