Bob Bolt ran his record to 4-0 by throwing four shutout innings on Friday night. John Pologa threw the last three innings to combine for the Orioles third shutout of the season.
Doug Reisinger drove home three runs and Mike Kravitz had two hits and two rbi for the Orioles who are now 10-1.
The Lansinburgh Royals are going to work on the Knick field tomorrow (Sat) evening 6:00pm. They have asked us to supply some manpower to complete the task faster.
Just show up at 6:00pm.
Any help will be appreciated.
And who can forget Eli Wallach's immortal lines from THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY: "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"
After last night, maybe that's how we feel about umpires.
The Pirates and A's were set to go at SUNY last night, but due to a miscommunication, no umpires showed. So...

After a terrific baseball game which came down to a winning run by the Kidz in extra innings, Blue Thunder came "thundering" back the twilight game of the doubleheader to walk away with a 15-3 win and a split. Hats off to both teams for enduring the heat on the field for almost six hours. Kevin McDonald we...
Thanks to an ambitious crew from Troy, the heavily rained on field at the Knick became playable. As always, it was a well played game by both teams. The Marlins actually out hit the Vets 12 -8. The Vets were a little more efficient, taking advantage of a few timely walks. Each team utlized two pitchers. T...
Joe Torre lined a one out single in the bottom of the 8th inning to lift the WhizKids to a hard fought 8-7 victory over the Blue Thunder. Anthony Torre went 3 for 4 in his new role as leadoff hitter.

The 38+ team from Albany, known as the New England Mutts, put in a superb effort this Independence weekend here in Portland, Maine and finished runner-up.

A's ----- 1 2 --- 3

i frequently start these notes with comments about the weather - because in summer ball that always seems to play some role. but in the two games the catskill rockets and red hot chili peppers have played this season, the weather has gone from playing a role to being a role player.
