June 9-11

Jenny had an afternoon medical appointment in Willow Street on Friday, we had lunch together and I took her to her appointment from there (the access van took her home). In the evening I traveled west across the mighty Susquehanna for my third visit of the season in York, the Revs were hosting the Barnstormers in the opener of a three-game set. Before the game York manager Mark Mason was recognized for recently posting his 300th win as the club's field boss. The Barnstormers struck first in the first inning when Rico Noel was hit by the pitch and scored on a K.C. Hobson base hit, in the bottom half the Revolution tied it when Isaias Tejeda singled and came home on a fielding error. The Revs put two on the board in the third, Travis Witherspoon was hit by the pitch and Alonzo Harris followed with a base hit. Tejeda's RBI double plated Witherspoon, Harris came home on a Joel Guzman groundout to make it 3-1. In the fifth Tejeda continued his big night with another base hit, he would score on a wild pitch to put the Revs up by three. In the Stormer sixth backup catcher Tyler Clark (from the Arizona D-Backs system) singled and touched home on a groundout by Noel to cut the margin to two but that would be the game's last run as the Revolution held on for the 4-2 win. Curtis Partch was the winning pitcher with ex-Toronto property Brad Allen earning the save, Nate Reed took the loss for the Barnstormers. Temperatures in the 90s were forecast for the weekend, on Saturday the blast furnace opened for business. Since Jenny and I had done lunch on Friday there was little reason to be out and about. The series in York continued in my absence (and in the heat) with a Stormer win on Saturday night and a Rev victory on Sunday afternoon, the next series between the two is in York from June 23-25. Take care, thanks for reading.
