Tight one in Ladner, as the Buzzards lose a nailbiter 9-8 to the Delta Stars.  Lot of swings in momentum, the Stars got the walkoff hit to win it this time. A sunny day but as always in that park, a windy one, the buzz' shutout string of 13 innings, ending with a thud, with 5 for Delta in the 4th. Tony pitched well for 3,  until the ol' base on balls got him in trouble.  A Buzzard comeback had us briefly back in front, but we couldn't hold them off in the last inning. Both clubs had their share of offense (guess so, 17 runs on the board). C Mike Bryan led the way for us, 3 for 3, including a double in the gap, and two ribbies. Jack Allen delivered 3 RBI's, with a couple of timely hits and a sac.fly.  Dave Reeves scored twice and stole 3 bases atop the order.  Good ballgame, tough one to lose, but so she goes. Buzzards now 7-6, in another tight divisional race, heading into August.   No game on the long weekend, and no practise this coming Wednesday. Back at er' vs. the Royals Wed. Aug. 8th. 6:15 start at Robert Burnaby.
