Portland
rockets renewed their rivalry with the grand lake mariners wed nite at
Montgomery Field, Celina. Wood bat
baseball, 9 inn. Great crowd, playoff atmosphere on astro turf, 2 hr 50 min and
it was intense, Portland rockets 2 Grand lake mariners 1
Maybe it was yogi berra, the great soothsayer, who said of
turf, “if cows cant eat off it, I don’t want to play on it” this observer notes
rockets liked it 0 errors and many a stellar defensive play to save the day.
Get off the bus gus, rocket scored 2 in the first, and that
held up for all nine inn.
Dalton
tinsley walked and scored on billy geeslins single, he scored on Mitch waters
double,
Rockets had 5 hits, zach tanner, alex delk, Kevin sharpe,
and tristen becher also had hits.
The mariners had 6 hits but the story line here

4 inn. 1 run on 2 hits, then 4 rocket relievers finished it out, dan borchers
from Versailles, billy geeslin big time punch outs with traffic on the
