Monday marked the end of the holiday weekend and the Unofficial Start Of Summer, at the ballpark the Barnstormers and the Revolution finished the weekend series with a rare Monday game (in the Atlantic League Monday is almost always an off-day, this and a July 4 game in York are the only Mondays either club plays in 2022). Game time on this sultry afternoon was at 5:00, in the third inning LeDarious Clark went yard with a man on to put the Stormers up 2-0. In the fourth the Revs tied it on an RBI hit from Jack Kenley and a bases-loaded walk issued to Josue Herrera. In the visiting sixth Herrera's RBI hit put the Revolution ahead 3-2, in the home half the Barnstormers answered on Colton Shaver's run-scoring double. The Revs took the lead again in the seventh when Elmer Reyes singled and scored on an error, in the Stormers eighth Kelly Dugan singled and advanced on a steal and a wild pitch, Shaver's sac fly plated Dugan to square it at 4-4. In the top of the tenth the Revs started with the "ghost runner" at second and cashed it in on a groundball double play to go ahead 5-4. In the bottom half the Stormers started with Jake Hoover on second, Devon Torrence's base hit put runners on the corners with none out. A sac fly by B.J. Boyd tied the game, after Clark flied out Dugan singled to center scoring Torrence with the walk-off winner 6-5. Starting pitchers Austin Nicely (York) and Augie Sylk (Lancaster) were both long gone by the time it ended, Josh Graham was the winning pitcher with Jim Fuller taking the loss. There was a postgame fireworks show scheduled, it had been announced that it wouldn't begin before 8:45 to allow for darkness to set in. The game was moving at a good pace and for a while it looked like there might be some down time but thanks to the extra inning the game didn't end until almost 8:30. The midweek had little going on outside of Wednesday lunch with Jenny and her mother, with temperatures approaching 90 degrees my outside time was as minimal as I could make it. Take care, thanks for reading.
