Tuesday night: back at the ballpark (as opposed to the ballFIELD), the Stormers continued their homestand with a visit from our friends West Of The River. The Stormers began in 2005, the York Revolution started two years later and there has always been a strong rivalry born from the fact that the cities themselves are portrayed as such (War Of The Roses and all that stuff). Although I'm a Lancastrian born-and-raised I've never personally viewed the Revs as The Enemy, I have friends there and I get to games in York on occasion whenever circumstances allow. On this night the guys from the White Rose City took a quick lead in the first when Matt McDermott reached on an error and Kobe Kato drew a walk, consecutive sacrifice flies from Donovan Casey and Jacob Rhinesmith put the Revs up 2-0. The Stormers got on the board in the second, Chris Proctor singled and scored on a Kyle Hess groundout. The Revolution added a run in the sixth on a David Washington sacrifice fly, in the seventh they broke the game open with six two-out runs. An RBI hit by Washington, a two-run single from Trey Martin and a Jamari Baylor three-run missile over the wall in right-center brought the final score to 9-1. The starting pitchers were of record, Zach Neff for the Revs and Caleb Baragar for the Stormers. The series continues on Wednesday (I'm out for the game at McCaskey) and Thursday (should be OK if it isn't raining). Take care, thanks for reading.
