Memorial Day baseball in York as the Revs and Barnstormers wrapped up their five-game series. Dick Myers was there on Sunday for the doubleheader as well, he and Marty suggested coming back for the Monday game since it was a 5:00 start and it beat sitting at home doing nothing. Since the ladies and I rode with Marty on Sunday and Dick drove over on his own I assumed the chauffeur duties on this day to make it fair. The Barnstormers had won four straight coming into this series but that meant little to the Revs as York finished a series sweep with an 8-3 win. Before the game the Revolution hosted a holiday salute to veterans, it was not as lavish as the celebration in Lancaster but it was very well done nonetheless. The Stomers took a 2-0 lead in the first on a Cole Garner home run, the Revs got one back in their half on an Eric Patterson sac fly. York took the lead for good in the third on a Chad Tracy RBI double and a Johan Limonta two-run homer, they added to it in the fifth on another Tracy RBI double. The Stormers got one back in the seventh on an Austin Gallagher home run but Tracy's two-run single and an RBI hit by Sean Smith in the eighth capped the scoring as the Revs won it going away. Jorge Martinez picked up the victory for the Revolution, Shunsuke Watanabe was the losing pitcher. The Revs stay at home to open a new series on Tuesday, the Barnstormers play at home as well. Somewhere along U.S. Route 30 over the weekend the local club lost its mojo, perhaps some home cooking is the ticket. We'll be there over the weekend when they host Sugar Land. Take care, thanks for reading.
