June 17, 2015 twin city bankers 6 portland rockets 4
Good morning baseball fans, it’s a beautiful day in Portland. On the day it did not rain, a gorgeous tues
summer evening at taylor university, the Portland rockets played
baseball .
Just not the brand of baseball we are accustomed to . they play nine inn, and we played pretty well
for 8, twin city bankers 6 portland
rockets 4,
Get off the bus gus, opening inn. Rockets score single by
dalton tinsely, and double by jegan millspaugh up 1-0
Starter jimmy west from Dayton, a big strong righthander
walked 2 hit one and this in just the first inn, throw the ball catch the ball,
we didn’t accomplish this fundamental and a dropped ball at first base allowed
2 runs, 5 in the inn. After a debacle of
a 1st inn, a 5-1 bankers lead
This big hole dug after a 30 min inn. Was just too big and
bankers win 6 4, they own 2 wins over Portland
in 3 games, rockets now record 8-2
The boys were not overmatched, just could not get the big
hit, we stranded 9 base runners, out hit
the opposition 9 to 4, but they always
made the big defensive play when needed;
In fact, Brandon reamon who
homered on Sunday, drove 2 balls to the fence tues, and was robbed of extra
bases both times, reamon still had 2 hits as did Dalton tinsley ,tj lindstrand, and
millspaugh. Rocket scored in 4 different inn,
but could never get more than one.
Kyle Selvey also had a single.
West settled in and pitched 4 inn, took the los 3 hits
walked 3 and hit 3 batters,
On a bright note, autin branock pitched 3 shutout inn, 0
walks, 0 hits,
Craig martin finished up and looked strong,
Branock and his bethel college teammate colin Affolder
return from their mission trip to the Dominican republic. Good to have those guys back.
2 hours 39 min for this titanic struggle, and we fired the
pitching coach, one inning our undoing,
as the not so wise manager told em,
“if you get em in, we will get them
out”
Did not get it done
Good rocket following in upland I hoped they made it to ivanhoes.\
Rockets still a good baseball team, lose 6-4,
Kinda like I heard soothsayer chris hearn say, like a one
legged man, in a round house looking for
a place….;. never mind
Rocket road trip…… always a fun time ….south bend for 4
games sat, sun at kennedy park\
Sat. dh Mishawaka
brewers, sun dh south bend cardinals,
Starters waters, bollenbacher, Reynolds and martin.
Rockets now 8-2
