The Humminbirds and the Orioles played to a 4-4 tie last night in a game stopped by darkness after 6 innings.
The Humminbirds scored four times in the fourth inning to take a 4-0 lead. Earl Mitchell held the Orioles to just three hits through 5 but the Orioles capitalized on an error, two walks and th...
The Silver Marlins lost long time friends and teammates Jon Martin and Ralph Caputo to free agency, but added log-time nemesis Jim Latorre and Mike Cleary. By the looks of game one Friday night at New Scotland, it'll be alright!!!
Jim Ansel, Phil Gadomski, and Jim Latorre held the Fordians to 1 unea...
Darrell Duncan has two baseball gloves left at the NS field over the weekend.
Could belong to someone on DaBums, Fordians/Vets or Silvers/Goldens. Let me know.

I was watching baseball highlights last night and saw??? Paul Lo Duca tag out the runner at the plate. The ump called the runner safe. In the heat of the moment Lo Duca threw the ball into the ground. He was promptly ejected from the game. After being ejected he picked up the baseball.
My thought/que...
about the new 38+ cubs, there's good news - and bad news.
the good news is for the league: we've got a competitive team here, they're going to put lots of teams to the proverbial test.
the bad news was for the red hot chili peppers who didn't fare so well on that test: the expansion team from scotia...
The Reds and Highlanders started their season on Sunday at the Kinderhook Town Park. The weather was beautiful for baseball.
The Reds bats were a little slow out of the gate trailing 5-1 through 4. True too form the bats started to heat up scoring 6 runs in the final 4 innings. A good team effort by all,...
In a rare Saturday night game, the Giants opened their inaugural season with a 6-2 win over the Orioles at New Scotland.
Jerry Solomon pitched 5 solid innings, giving up both runs on 4 of the 7 hits he allowed in the second inning.
Bill Smith knocked in the first-ever Giants run, plating Dan Maguire...
Call it a hangover from our March trip to San Antonio (seven Pirates went), but we came out wearing our hitting shoes. Big night for Richie Knaupp in particular, who went 3-3 with two BOMBS that would have cleared the fence (if a fence had only been there). Newcomers John Comensky, Jimmy McQuade, and...
The new Mets, came out looking good with some new talent against a powerful Yankee team. The Mets have a great team but the Yankees pitching was great. The Mets had a great start from Jerry F. but for the Mets it was the same old story, a few errors but very poor coaching, the coach went on the mo...
Dave Madden pitched three strong innings and got solid relief from Al Wolfert and Marc Tryon to help the Hornets win their opener.
Defensive gems by SS Ron Smacka and 3B Al Wolfer drew some gasps from the crowd and both benches.
Several Hornets had key hits, but it was DaBums who made a statement.

I just wanted to thank all the individuals who put together yesterday's Opening Day ceremony (47's). The moment of silence at shortstop to remember our friend, Jim Jordan, was especially touching.
What a PERFECT day for baseball. I can't recall ever having such good weather for Opening Day.

They are cramming the entire babe ruth schedule into the small timeframe they have for Harris field. Therefore, we will not be using Harr...
Finally, the first game of the season!
In a very close game, the A's defeated the Blue Jays 3-1 at Bethlehem. The game was marked by some very spectacular plays and tense moments. Both pitchers, Gianakos for the A's and Coffredo for the Blue Jays, went about their tasks very well.
The A's score...
