Good morning baseball fans, it’s a beautiful day in Portland. What is hotter than playing baseball in ft wayne at Indiana
tech during a heat advisory last evening?
It said 88 on my phone, 92 on my car, and catcher tj
lindstrand who caught all 9 inn said he lost 10 lbs.
What is hotter than the Portland rockets winners over kekionga
13-9, rockets have now won 9 games in a
row pushing their record to 23-5. maybe
hotter than anything, rocket ss zach
tanner, the Yorktown yakker went deep again at Indiana tech wed. nite, his 5th home
run in his last 4 games, number 14 on the season, and it was a rocket launcher,
over the fence in straight away cf onto Anthony blvd. holy cow
It made the day for this old guy,
Rockets had just taken the lead in the 5th inn
when billy ballgame, bill geeslin hit a jack into the net in left cf, a 3 run
blast rockets now ahead 5-2, the back to back jack, tanner hits his bomb
As yogi said, anything hit that far should have a stewardess
on it
Kevin sharp also hit a 3 run homer, that guy puts some lift
on the ball, a sky shot to left, in the 7th
Rockets took a 10-5 lead and held on, starter Andrew bobeck
went 2 plus inn before leaving with a blister, Derek thobe from coldwater went
5 inn, 4 ks he was the winning pitcher, alex delk and mitch waters finished up
nailing em 1,2,3 in the 9th
Tanner went 3 for 4, 2 doubles that one hopped the fence, he
is 11-19 in the last 5 games, a .579 batting ave.
He also knocked a couple batting practice balls out of the
park, I know I pitched batting practice. And that may be
the last time, too sweaty for this fella
Rockets had 13 hits on the evening, 3 by tanner, 2 each by
waters delk and sharp
