July 16,, 2015 rockets 8 twin city bankers 6

Good morning baseball fans, it’s a beautiful day in Portland. And the sun shineth, and the Portland rockets winneth.  Portlands team played nine innings of wood bat baseball on a lovely quiet wed nite at taylor university,  success story Portland 8  twin city bankers 6

Get off the bus gus, Dalton tinsely and Brandon reaman teamed up to score 3 rocket runs in  the first 4 inn and the team never trailed.  Get em on, get em over, get em in.   In fact, reaman  4 hits and tinsley 3 hits, include colin Affolder with 2 hits, tom mccowan a double,  and we had 13 on the evening. 

A 4 -0 lead in the 4^th , usually enough for starter dan bollenbacher,  the big fella goes 6 inn. 88 pitches strikes out 9  scatters 5 hits, 1 earned run.

Austin branock pitched 2 inn. …keep in mind these guys have been itching to pitch for a couple of weeks,  alex delk pitched a perfect 9^th, in fact delkie has struck out 6 of the last 9 he faced.

Key blow in the game, with Portland leading 4-3 in the 6^th , alex delk hit a monster shot over the fence 3 run home run . 

Special thanks to cr sports editor chris Schanz for making the trip to upland, he noted we left 14 runners on base.  Again, get em on, get em over, and dag nabbit silly rabbit, get em in!

Rockets record now moves to 15-4. 

Pretty cool to have in our dugout coach mark Flueckiger of Huntington university .  even cooler having 5 year old son calvin circling the bases in his black and gold rocket attire. Love ya in Portland flick
