September 6-8

The weather turned markedly cooler overnight into Friday, the day felt more like October than early September. In the evening I made a trip over the mighty Susquehanna, the York Revolution was hosting the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. York High's football stadium is in close proximity to the ballpark, they were playing a home game which made for some crazy traffic issues since a lot of the baseball crowd uses the football parking lot (I usually park in an auxiliary lot next to the ballpark thanks to my parking placard). On this night in York the offensive highlights were few and far between, the Revs scored in the opening inning on a Justin Trapp single and a Telvin Nash sac fly but that would be their lone run. The Crabs tied it in the second and took a 2-1 lead in the fifth, those tallies would stand up for a one-run SM win. Duke Von Schamann (one of the Great Names in the Atlantic League) started for the Revolution and took the loss. The game ended shortly after 9:00 (it started at 6:30) and the football game was still going so most of the baseball traffic got a head start on their drive home. The rest of the weekend was quiet save for my regular Saturday visit with Jenny, wall-to-wall college football on Saturday and the start of the pro season on Sunday. Take care, thanks for reading.
