Jack Perry and Bob Bolt led the Hornets to their second win in a row a 9-4 win over the Golden Marlins.
Bolt who apparently is time challenged thought the 2:30pm contest started at 3pm and much to his surprised pulled into the parking lot as Jim Konstantakis fired the first pitch. The Marlins jumped on the board early with 2 in the top of the first but Bolt entered in the second and shut down the Marlins for the next 5 innings.
In the meantime the Hornets put up crooked numbers for the first five innings. Jack Perry fresh off of catching a Hobbs league game in Saratoga in the morning drove down to Vooheesville for the afternoon contest and went 3 for 3 with a double and 3 rbi.
A couple of other highlights in this game that the Marlins can elaborate on.
Jim Ansel fresh off hip replacement surgery in March showed up at the game in what we all thought was a cameo appearance to root his team on. But much to our shock Jim confidently strolled to the plate in the first inning and drilled his first of three singles on the day; absolutely amazing! As Jim ran to first I could swear he is faster than ever.
Tom Maney after suffering through separating his right throwing shoulder numerous times was out in centerfield for the Marlins with a left handers glove on. Tom is running down balls like he always has and catching them with his right hand and teaching himslef how to throw left handed!
we all know tommy maney, bless him, has a grand case of boomeritis. (for those who don't know, that's propelling aging bodies, which long to sit, forward.) now, we see that jim ansel has it too. is this catching, or what?
evidence beyond these two remarkable specimens would suggest it is. isn't mr. stark, for instance, playing with a fractured finger?
ah, the future.
welcome back, jim. you too, lefty. waggle your finger soon, dick.
