May 18-19

Saturday began with weather conditions we've become all too familiar with, it was raining while I was with Jenny and her mother for lunch. By mid-afternoon it began to clear up, with the presence of the new turf at the ballpark the ballgame went off on schedule. After four wins by the Revolution in the season series the Stormers finally broke through in a big way on this night with a little-doubt-about-it 13-2 win. All of the runs in this game except one were scored in the first four innings. the Revs' runs coming on a Trey Martin solo home run in the fourth and Kobe Kato's ninth-inning sacrifice fly. The Stormers scored twice in each of the first two innings, put six on the board in the third and topped it of with three more in the fourth. Nick Lucky had the big night with three hits including a double and a home run, four runs scored and three RBI, Chris Proctor had three hits, scored once and three runs batted in. Joseph Carpenter added three hits and three RBI, Trace Loehr had three hits, an RBI and scored three runs. Chad Sedio had two hits, scored twice and had one RBI, Justin Farmer added two hits and a run scored. Cristian Santana had an RBI double and scored a run, Jack Conley rounded out the book with a single and a run scored. On the mound Augie Sylk went seven innings for the win, Zach Neff started for the Revs and didn't survive the third inning. The series concluded on Sunday afternoon in my absence with a win for the Revolution giving them a 5-1 lead in the eighteen-game War Of The Roses, the clubs have twelve meetings left including three in July when the Revs return. On Sunday morning we were in Rothsville for the first time since April 28, after two straight weeks of rainouts we finally got some hockey played at Lions Park. I had put the word out on Saturday that we were going to play if at all possible, there was a leftover puddle in the one corner which needed to be cleared out but once that was accomplished the games went on without issue. This was the original Week Six, the matchups were the same as the last time we were there. Warwick avenged an earlier loss with a win over Hillside, Ephrata made it two straight over Township. No games on the 26th because of the holiday weekend, we're back with rematches from Week One on June 2nd. Take care, thanks for reading.
