In a game shortened to 5 innings because of rain and darkness the Orioles ran their record to 2-1-1 with a victory over the 3-1 Cubs.
John Pologa and Chris Abrams combined on the 3 hit shutout for the Orioles.
9 different Orioles had at least one hit and 8 different O's drove in at least one run to l...
thunderous claps, thin, jagged lightning moving from left to center to right, rain starting as a drizzle then pouring. the umps were kind enough to wait for about 45 minutes before calling it. we got in 1/3 of an inning, peppers up, 2-0. the pirates haven't played since the first week in may. the pepper...
hi guys - just a heads up. for any teams that use cba, a list of things to do - and not do:
1. please park in the parking lot. do not park on the grass near the field or school.
2. if you need to bring equipment in a van or car to the field, use only one vehicle, drive slowly (5 mph) up the service road, park...
In a game shortened to 5 innings because of lightening, then eventually rain, the Giants defeated the Blue Jays 7-2.
Scotty Card appeared in his first game since heart surgery and showed he's lost nothing.
He hit the first pitch he saw since last year to center for a single, stole a base and scored....
The A's and Reds squared off at SUNY for what ended up to be a rain shortened game. A good call by the umpire's. Kevin Moon started for the A's and pitched a great game before having to come out in the third. Bonaporte scored the A's only run with Smith going 2-2. Ron McCarthy had a 2 RBI double along with Denn...
In a make up game on Sunday the Yankees 47+ team had there hitting shoes on and played solid defense. The Yankees scored 8 runs in the first inning that provided a nice cushion as the Bum's pitcher settled down and the Bums scored a few runs to get within 7 runs. The Yankees scored in the third and then had a 6...
Has anyone ever inquired about using the old " babe ruth" field located at Hoffman Park off McCarty Avenue. I know some softball leagues use it once in awhile but really don't the extent of it's usage. It looks unused most days.
You could tell right from the first batter that things were not going to go the Peppers way. Lead off batter Meyers tags a pitch that on any other night screams over the left fielder's head. Instead. Blustery Bob, the Bethlehem Wind God comes up with a strong gale to blow it back to the left fielder for an a...
The La La battery of Mike LaBarge behind the plate and Mike LaCouture on the mound kept the Cubs going as they worked diligently against a very ready Waterford team, although Ralph Marrero had Visa problems that caused him to get to the park late, Mike La C struggled with his fastball and curve (the five...
The Orioles and the Reds squared off last night in Ravena and Bob Bolt was the story for the Orioles. After the Reds scored 4 times in the top of the first Bolt came on in relief and threw 6 scoreless innings. Bob allowed 3 hits, 1 walk and struck out 6.
Paul Scutieri led the offense with a single, double...
it was a good, tight game, a game of small-ball, on a pretty night at cba. it was also the blue jays' first game since may 2nd and a month of rain.
we faced a very good pitcher in andy sheehan – 7 strikeouts, no walks, 1 unearned run – as he mixed his pitches (fine curve, well-located fastball, good chang...
Potato Trick Update: Potato reappeared in my back pocket. It was baked. A bit leery of the sour cream that was now on it. Hmmmm....
And again, back to the game...
The Highlanders used some key hits to score their runs in defeating the A's. The A's once again scored first on a single by Newcomb, a s...
The Highlanders held off a last inning rally (bases loaded when the last out was made) for the win at the Knick last night. It was a crisp, well-played game, especially since we finished five and a half innings after having to wait until 6:30 to start the game.
First things first (which is what they always are because if they weren't first then they would not be the first thing and I would have a problem). Anyway, in my last post (5/11 A's vs. Peppers), Jim Dalton responded to a question with a story about a "Potato" trick. I'd like to say that I was all set to try i...
What a night for a game, cool and cloudy with a steady breeze at a soggy Bethlehem ballpark. Field conditions were marginal to say the least. It was good to finally play after a 16 day layoff. The Reds scattered 10 hits and scoring 3 runs in the 7th while the Hummingbirds spread out 6 hits through 7. Both pi...
