Portland rockets sweep ft. wayne kekionga 11-1 and
9-2
Sunday game 3 of the grand lake Celina
set called due to rain
Good morning baseball fans, it’s a beautiful day in Portland.
When the one great scorer comes to mark against your name,
he asks not it you won or lost but did you beat ft. wayne
Portland rockets did Saturday, winning over northeast kekionga
from Indiana
tech 11-1 and 9-2 at runkle-miller field. Rockets won game one in 5 inn. Pretty
much kekionaged ntheir booty, breaking open a 2-1 game in the 4th
with 2 runs then mercy ruled em with 7 runs in the 5th, Brandon reamon from Dayton 3 hits, tinsley 2
run and a 2 run triple, billy geeslin got us on the board with a 2 run double,
Thomas mccowan walked 4 times on the day,
and chandler ingle, rookie infielder just up from south adams, highly
recommended from coach brad Buckingham, himself a rocket veteran, smacked his
first rocket hit down the line scoring 2 runs.
All quite enough for a very effective manager of the game,
our trusty lefthander tyler
Reynolds. Happy birthday tyler 24 years old, one of my favorite success
stories does the mound work, 86 pitches 3 ks, 3 walks no earned runs 4 hits.
Game ended before righthander jimmy west could get his turnl
It was a great breezy day at the corner for baseball and it
was persimmon ridge day, several made the bus trip out to ballgame, sang take
me out to the ballgame,
Happy 85th birthday this week, Weldon hamma,
And thanks Jamie walker and staff for making this day
possible.
Thanks also to fred bailey for his contribution and his
resolve to work on our American legion.
I had baked steak there, good stuff.
After a watermelon break, thanks coach tim devoss and
spiritual leader, oh my
Rockets went to work in game 2 scoring 3 runs off the bat
for starter garrett scott,
And never looked back winning 9-2. garrett is a smooth easy gas righthand
flamethrower from Goshen, and Huntington
university, he comes with other good guys from Huntington, that’s what good players do,
girlfriends, too.
Garett walks 0, ks 3 in 4 inn. Jimmy west from Dayton 1 inn, Wesley hibbard 1 and Carson cruea 1.
Reamon 2 more hits, that’s 5 on the day, 2 hits with a
moonshot double for alex delk, 2 hits kyle Selvey, double and rbi Dalton tinsely, ryan penley from Sidney 2 run bingo.
Justin segers from marion
2 run bingo as well.
20 runs on the day, enjoyed by our friends at the ballpark,

Great to hear the sounds of the crack of the bat, and the
chatter and of course, our public address guys ---samantha Thomas and tony
