Posted Jun 22/15 - rockets take 3 out of 4 in south bend

June 22, 2012  portland rockets take 3 of 4 in south bend road trip

 

Good morning baseball fans, it’s a beautiful day in Portland.  Happy first days of summer
the Portland rockets made the road trip this weekend to south bend.  You know we like success stories, and this is a success story.  Portland wins 3 out of 4 games at kennedy park, south bend. 

Saturday it was thunder and lightning,  mitch waters and dan bollenbacher success stories on the mound, rockets over the Mishawaka brewers, 11-1 and 7-0.  another great outing by both rocket veterans, mitch scattered 6 hits, dan gave up 3 in his shutout.

And it was great to have Justin Marrero from Reynoldsburg, oh back in the lineup,

Marrero played all over the field in the 4 game set, and here is a success story,  he scored all the way from second base on  a sacrifice fly. Chris miller sent a fly deep to rightcenter, as the fielder caught the ball and tumbled, Marrero never hesitated.

How about that.

Home run in the game, Dalton tinsely, our cf a success story, 9 hits on the weekend several doubles and 8 runs scored. In fact, tinsley was a shining star in the 2 days even threw a runner out at home,  he is going to a postdraft workout, I know the Evansville otters are looking at him.   Rockets took both games in less than 4 hours.

Success story, bench clearing in the second game after a mouthy fan actually came onto the field,  it seems he had some issues,  and they could very well have been medical issues if chris miller and coach doug tinsley had got to him,  after some heated exchanges, order restored and big dan bollenbacher went out a pitched a shut down and shut up inn.

Rockets beat the brewers twice.  Mishawaka record now 7-11.

Sunday happy fathers day, and we had several rocket pops on hand; 

The matchup Portland 10-2 vs south bend cardinals 10-2.

The success story here, tyler Reynolds goes 6 inn. 0 walks and 5 hits, rockets win 7-2.

 Jimmy west closes the 7th on 6 pitches.  Tj lindstrand and colin Affolder each with 2 hits.

Every starter but one had a hit. 

Rockets can sweep south bend if they can handle the cards in the last game.

And we should have.\

South bend rallies twice, come back after down 4-0 . they tie the score off starter craig martin of marion,we had solid relief from Austin branock,    then down by one in the last inn, score 2 off jimmy west to win in walkoff fashion 7-6.  our boys were tired, but they were warriors to the end,  we out hit em 13-7 but our pitchers walked 9 batters, 

We preach :  if you get em in, we will get em out.  Ouch. 

22 rockets and family all at applebys on sat. nite, 

Rocket take 3 out of 4 in south bend, and boy we were tired.

Record moves to 11-3

This week Portland will play northeast kekionga wed at Indiana tech, then home sat for 2 vs the expos, then 2 in ft wayne Sunday.

 

Happy birthday this weekend to 2 of my good chums, gary Bernard and scott stauffer from Geneva.\

Wish coach seth zartman well , the bethel baseball coach a former rocket had a heart attack this weekend,

Great to see also ron milovich, senators and Indians coach back in the day, and also Jason best 48 years old and still playing the game he loves

Rocket success story 3 of 4 in south bend,
