August 5-10

The middle part of the week was quiet save for an eye appointment for my mother on Tuesday (in the late afternoon at 4:00) and a Thursday morning lunch visit with Jenny and her mother in Quarryville. On Friday Marty and I made a trip across the river, the York Revolution hosted the Sugar Land Skeeters in the finale of a three-game series. The Skeeters took an early 1-0 lead in the first but the Revs replied quickly on RBI doubles by Eric Patterson and Travis Garcia. The home team added single runs in the third on an double-play groundout, the fifth on another Patterson RBI double and the sixth on a Justin Greene base hit. Chad Tracy's two-run homer in the seventh ended the scoring as the Revs won it 7-1, Logan Williamson worked eight innings for the victory. On Saturday Jenny and I had our usual weekend lunch, on Sunday Marty and I returned to York County for another "Santander Sunday". The Long Island Ducks were the opponent in the middle game of a three-game set. This was one of the Atlantic League's oddball weekends for scheduling, each new series started on Saturday instead of Friday. The Ducks took a quick 4-0 lead in the first inning, it stayed that way until the fifth when the Revs tied it on an Alberto Espinosa sac fly. In the seventh a two-run single by Travis Garcia gave York the lead, Chad Tracy followed with a two-run homer to clinch a 5-2 victory. Alain Quijano (the hero of the Revs' first-half playoff clincher) was the winning pitcher with support from Ian Durham and Rommie Lewis. Take care, thanks for reading.
