The last week of June featured thunderstorms in the forecast for just about every day, on Monday evening in Willow Street there were dark clouds to the southwest and some light rain fell during the latter part of the first game. It was a doubleheader night for LCM and they dropped both ends of it, the opener to Peach Bottom and the nightcap to Kelly's. On Tuesday a strong storm blew through in the afternoon and wiped out the schedule for the entire evening, Wednesday night was an open date for the Southern End League but the over-60 league played its scheduled game on the lower field. On Thursday we made another trip West Of The River (patent pending), in York the Revolution hosted the Staten Island FerryHawks. This was the last of a four-game series which had started with a makeup doubleheader on Tuesday, the Revs were looking to complete a sweep but the Hawks had other ideas. Trey Martin's solo homerun to left-center gave the Home Team a 1-0 lead in the second inning, Staten Island replied with three in the fourth to go up by two. Tomo Otosaka's RBI single in the fifth brought the Revs to within one, in the sixth Martin went yard over the Arch-Nemesis in left to tie it 3-3. In the seventh the Revolution put together a four-run inning on Jhon Nunez's RBI single, run-scoring doubles by Drew Mendoza and Jacob Rhinesmith and a sac fly by Martin to go ahead 7-3. The FerryHawks did not go away quietly or any other way, two runs in the eighth and a three-spot in the ninth gave Staten Island a come-from-behind 8-7 win. Tom Sutera started for the Revs and went the first five, Tasker Strobel (the last of four relievers used) took the loss. Take care, thanks for reading
