We are in a stretch with a lot of baseball. All told, our kids will participate in 10 games over a six day period. Good thing we like baseball at our house….
Maria’s Rockies are suddenly on a tear. After winning their first game on Friday, the Rock Stars have won twice more, again defeating the Cubs 13-8 on Monday night at Sunnyside and then outlasting the Cardinals 5-3 on Tuesday at Bel Air. The kids have really been playing very well and they are now consistently making fine plays in the field. On a personal note, Maria got her first hit on Monday, beating out a grounder to the pitcher. She was delighted and so is this correspondent.
Continuing what has been a relentless stretch of action, the Rockies take the field again tonight, this time against the Reds. Game time is 6:30 p.m. at Sunnyside School in New Brighton.
As for Ben’s Brewers, they had a rematch against the Dodgers last night and lost 19-8. The Dodgers are a very good hitting team; their best hitter hit a long home run, the first over-the-fence job we’ve seen all year. I was not at the game but my trusted correspondent (a/k/a/ Mrs. Dilettante) tells me that the Brew Crew rallied late and made it a little more interesting. Ben singled in the game as well. The Brewers get another shot against the Dodgers on Thursday at 6:30 at Sitzer Park. The Brewers will have their better pitchers going in this game, so we’ll see if they can make some progress.
