I post tonight because the scheduled ump failed to show. In his stead, Herb Carter's son, Jesse, filled in, calling balls & strikes from behind the mound and he deserves a hearty shout out. Yes, Jesse is Herb's son and Herb was on the opposing team. Jesse is a certified umpire, so I had no reservatio...

Ron Massaroni twirled a complete game shutout in a 1-0 win over the Black Sox in a high noon showdown, and then capped off a Marlins sweep by producing the game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh for a 3-2 comeback victory over Shasky''s in the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday at New Scotland...
The Twins forgot to take down their black metal bat hanger from the 1st base dugout after our game there last week. It holds 10 bats and is new this year. If anyone found it please contact me at cljvedelman@aol.com or respond on this forum please. Thank you.

Implicit in that question is another: Why can't every manager, or for that matter, most every player take a shot at writing up game stories? After all, this website is the p...
on a nice night for ball Tuesday at the Bob, after another pop up thunderstorm, the Indians took on the Warriors and defeated them 7-0 behind a stellar performance from Jami Burnetter, who tossed a 1 hitter with 8k to out duel the Steve the (weatherman) Adamson, who had forecasted a dreary night for the...

The Marlins wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard, when Scott Ross led off the game with a walk and a stolen base. Wayne Newcomb reached on an error, and Mike Girar...
Somewhat recently, John Reel sent an email to say a student from Voorheesville High School (Lukas Fisher) was collecting money to have a gazebo placed at the Satellite Field. The Giants handed over some money last night, but Lukas was apprehensive about coming over to ask for money or donations. I we...
A decent, seeing-eye singles game, with two mysteries. Hats off to anyone who can solve the second one. First, the game: Mike Girard pitched very well for the Marlins, striking out nine Peppers and allowing six singles over seven innings as the Marlins won, 7-2. Several walks and stolen bases helped...
The 55 Giants defeated the Twins 7-0 at New Scotland field this evening. It was a 5 run first inning that would hold up for the Giants with many seeing eye hits dropping in to all fields. The last 6 innings was just 2-0 Giants, but the Twins could not plate a run although they hit the ball hard and deep a numbe...
