Next game: June 20th at Home vs Phillies 9 am start

Gents:

We return to our home field for next Sunday's ( June 20th) single game as we host the Phillies at 9am.

We have several we know are out this week: Shawn, Mike ,Bobby U, and Jose are declared out on Sunday. We do anticipate Bob Ryan will be with us and
we look forward to getting him on track. We hope Raff's hammy is back in shape

Please let us know if you will not be there.

Recap of last week's win vs Mets:

Tim started and shut them down for the first two innings while we racked up a 5-0 lead. They walked Roneil and Danny to start off the game
and Jose reached on an error . Brian got he first run in with a sac fly to CF. We added another run on Alex's base hit to start up 2-0.
we added three more to lead 5-0 after 2.
They came back with three in the third to get back in the game but Jose had a bases loaded double and Bill Bowen had one as well. Shawn added three hits. Danny had two solid hits as well as several catches in CF. Roneil walked again and had another hit and we inexorably pulled away. Alex shut down their running attack and we surrendered no stolen bases. and Alex added a couple hits-again-as he has been ripping the ball lately- to have a nice day Brian got his first mound time in and went 1-2-3 in the 4th. In the fifth we helped them with a couple errors but Brian did a nice job battling them.

Mike came in and wrapped up things including 4 shutout innings as well as hitting a long double over the left fielders head.
Bobby U made the defensive play of the day with an over the shoulder grab of bloop while filling in for Roneil for an inning.

In a baseball oddity I had never witnessed. The Mets had a runner on third ,leading off in foul territory and their hitter lined a shot down the line.
The ball ricocheted off his arm and into his shirt where is stayed unbeknown to him. ...a new method of the hidden ball trick..


The Phillies game is an important one for us and I hope we can arrive at 8 to prepare for infield at 820am


see you Sunday
