The new week started with some distressing news, right before midnight on Sunday night Jenny's mother called. Helen said Jenny was on her way to the ER in an ambulance, she has been having discomfort in her legs recently and apparently the pain became unbearable. Helen was upset because the ambulance crew wouldn't allow her to go along and she had no other way into town, I told her to try to relax and stay close to the phone. I will admit to not sleeping very well myself overnight, when I awoke on Monday morning and there were no messages I called Helen to see if she knew anything. She said Jenny was home and asleep, the hospital ran some tests and x-rays, prescribed some medications and sent her home in a taxicab at 5:00 that morning. They said it was some sort of muscle spasm but it was still worth checking out, you never know when it could have been something much worse. Monday night softball in Willow Street, LCM played a doubleheader losing the opener to Peach Bottom and winnng the late game over Memorial. On Tuesday the Barnstormers opened a new series, the Lexington Counter Clocks were making the last of their three regular-season visits. Both teams had unimpressive first-half records, thus far in the new half the Stormers have been doing well while the Clocks are still running in reverse. On this night the Stormers posted five runs in the first inning, a walk and two singles loaded the bases with nobody out. Ariel Sandoval waked to force home Melvin Mercedes with the first run, after one out Joseph Carpenter doubled to score Yeison Coca and Andretty Cordero. Jack Conley drew a two-out walk putting two men on base, he and Carpenter came home on Trace Loehr's two-run single to make it 5-0. The Clocks struck for single runs in the fourth and fifth, in the home fifth newcomer Chad Sedio doubled and scored on a Wilson Garcia sac fly making it 6-2. A Lexington run in the eighth was offset by a three-run Stormer eighth, all three scoring as a result of Lexington fielding errors. 9-3 was the final score, Jaret Lakind started and went five innings for the win with Bret Clarke, Brian Marconi and newcomer Nick Duron in relief. Take care, thanks for reading.
