May 6

On the road at 10:30 for the ballpark as we wrapped up the series with Erie. For the first time this season the R-Phils lost a series as the 'Wolves took two of three on the weekend, winning on this day 9-4. Darin Ruf had a home run and two RBI, Cesar Hernandez had a run-scoring triple and Sebastian Valle hit an RBI double. David Buchanan struggled through five innings and took the loss. The game started at 1:35 and wound down shortly before 4:30, I high-balled it down 222 for the evening's street hockey games at Reservoir Park. Ronnie was already there when I arrived (I had let him know that I might run a little late), we got going right on time at 6:15. These were the makeups for the April 23 postponements, with these in the book every team has now played eight games. We'll be back at the rink on Monday as the ballclub takes a off-day, the Trenton Thunder comes to town on Tuesday. Take care, thanks for reading.
