September 1

The final one-third of 2015 is upon us, it's hard to believe it's already September (although it felt more like July with daytime temperatures in the low 90s). The Barnstormers were scheduled for a home game on this evening but it was postponed under unusual circumstances. The ballpark hosted professional soccer games on Saturday and Monday, over the weekend it was announced that the Tuesday ballgame would be postponed to allow proper time for converting the field back to baseball configuration. With no game in Lancaster I elected to spend the evening on the other side of the river, the Revolution returned home to open a series against the Camden Riversharks. The Atlantic League season ends on the 20th and the second-half division races are far from decided. The Revs are currently second in their division with the Barnstormers holding the top spot. The Stormers could qualify for the postseason either as the second-half champion or as a wild-card, for the Revs it's largely division title or bust. On this night at Santander Stadium the Revolution suffered a critical loss as the visiting Riversharks took an early lead and held on for the 4-2 win. It was 3-0 Camden in the fourth when Brandon Boggs went yard with a man on to cut the deficit to one but an insurance Shark run in the seventh ended the scoring, Rommie Lewis started for the Revolution and took the loss. The series continues through Thursday before the Sharks come to Lancaster for the weekend. Take care, thanks for reading.
