Posted Jun 25/15 - rockets win in extras 7-6

June 25, 2015  rockets 7-6 over n.e. kekionga\ 11 innings

 

Good morning baseball fans, it’s a beautiful day in Portland.  It was a beautiful evening in ft wayne wed eve.  A large crowd on hand at Indiana tech warriors field, lots of rocket rooters in the summit city, and they were in for a treat. I mean, suspense, drama, action, homeruns double plays, agony, blown calls, and did I say agony, and tears and billy ballgame

Now I  say triumph, Portland wins 7-6 in 11 inn. One of THE most memorable games , one I certainly will not forget. Nor will billy ballgame, bill geeslin—chips were down=-traffic on the base paths, we need a rocket arm to strike em out,  I can see billy at 3rd base has removed the tape from his forearm,  he wants the ball in the 10th with the winning run at 3rd, 1 out.  Now billy has been a pitcher of note in the past, but several arm surgeries, tommy john plus screws in the elbow  to attach muscle, a broken hand and more, he has had his thrills on pitching hills, but he found a way this day,

A comeback you might say, and he struck out 2 in the 10th and 2 in the 11th to get the win and his own save, and that is why after the game we hugged and we cried.

We love ya in Portland billy ballgame

Get off the bus Gus, rockets score in the early frames cruise to a 5-1 lead after Dalton tinsleys blast onto Anthony blvd, his 2nd homer in 2 games. Rockets had 14 hits all starters had at least one.  Tinsley our leadoff man, scored 3 runs 2 hits, ofs Brandon reaman and colin Affolder each with 3 hits. Tj lindstrand had 3 rbi,.

Starting pitcher Austin branock from gas city was mowing em down for 6 inn. Then they put together a 4 spot in the 7th . jimmy west kept us in the game into the 10th before billy ballgame saved the day.

Branock 74 pitches 0 walks, West 51 1 walk, billy ballgame 23 pitches0 walks 4 ks

I was on a cloud all the way home.  Just an hour earlier my guts hurt, then my eyes hurt.

I know what it was, I wore my dads socks for good luck,

11 inn. 2 hrs 43 min, rockets win 7-6

The losing pitcher alex delk. Alex is a rocket but he attends Indiana tech and he is a very fine player, his catcher jegan millspaugh also a rocket. But they are also required to play with their college team.  Doesn’t make rocket people happy,  in fact delk struck out 5 in a row in the last inn. Before reamon reached base on an error and then came in on lindstrands double, Affolder then smashed a single thru the middle for what proved to be the game winner.
