In an auto accident, now recovering from surgery at Lutheran

Scattering 5 hits. Mitch does his work in 1 hr 38 min. sure like that---

Game 2 rockets waste a fine pitching effort by dan
bollenbacher and lose to coach mark Delagarza team 5-3. bollenbacher struck out 8 giving up 4 runs on
9 hits. Travis gray finished up.
rockets make it interesting 3
times loading the bases and as sports
Writer chris Schanz ntoes,
still waiting for that one big hit
It doesn’t help when we hit in double plays, strike out or
runners running thru stop sign
At third, getting thrown out by a mile,
Reminds me of the question asked manager casey Stengel, what
do you think of the execution of your team,,,casey dead panned …” Im all in
favor of it”
Great story line---out of retirement brad Buckingham
answered the call to catch bollenbacher and the south adams
coach ---he played for the rockets several years in the
2005 era did a fine job.
34 years old and still an athlete, gotta love that \and great to see jim
Buckingham and family on hand.

Wapahani rocket guys,,,luce lassiter Bolton etc.
