Because I left my scorebook in the team's equipment bag, and because that bag is now miles from my desk, I am forced to rely on memory and imagination to reconstruct what I can of the over-62's Americans' 14-1 victory over the Peppers on a very pleasant, blue sky Tuesday evening, May 23rd, at the A-Diamo...
The Dodgers scored a dozen runs in the 3rd inning to roust a boat-load of Pirates. 17 Pirates showed up to Watervliet looking to pillage or plunder or whatever Pirates do. They did hit the ball hard, ran the bases aggressively and made some very good defensive plays. But, arghh! Greg Gougler hit two bom...

On a beautiful night for baseball at New Scotland on Tuesday night, The Cubs bested up the Twins 13-3. The Cubs pushed 13 runs across on 15 hits and two walks, in just 4 innings.

The Arachnids put up 2 earned runs in the bottom of the first off Cards starter Bill Chichester via a Kenny Wellington single, a long double by Darrell Duncan a stolen base and a fielders choice. Those were the only runs scored until the top of the 4th when the Cardinals scored 2 of their own capitalizing...
One of the deep philosophical questions of the modern age, or, at the least, a dandy one for baseball teams, is, "Do you have a rally in you?" It could be called a "defining question." Then again, it could not. Philosophers are a funny bunch. Turns out on Monday last ( the 15th) both the Americans and the P...
Now that I have your attention, let me tell you the story that the final score does not tell you: After 3 complete innings the Pirates held a 3-0 lead, and after 4 complete innings they held a 3-1 advantage. The Bucco's scrapped for one run in each of the first 3 innings, with the help of 3 Cubs' errors and 2 w...
