Back at the health campus on Wednesday morning for another visit with the surgeon, everything is on track for my mid-July "vacation" in Philadelphia. At the ballpark in the evening, after the Stormer win on Tuesday this night was all Revolution from the proverbial word Go. The visitors scored four runs in the second inning on a passed ball, Jalen Miller's two-run home run and a Frankie Tostado RBI double, they added four more in the sixth on a Marty Costes RBI single, a run-scoring single by Tostado and William Simoneit's two-run single. The Stormers got single runs in the sixth and eighth on home runs from Mason Martin and Nick Ward but it was nowhere near enough, the final was 8-2. The respective starters were of record, Foster Pace for the Revs and Keylan Killgore for the Stormers. On Thursday Jenny and I finally had our midweek lunch, it didn't happen on Tuesday or Wednesday for the obvious reasons. At the ballpark in the evening for the rubber match, the Revs again blew out to a quick 4-0 lead. A solo home run by Tostado in the first was followed by a Jeremy Arocho two-run shot and an Alexis Olmeda round-tripper in the second. Nick Lucky went yard in the bottom half to put the Stormers on the board but the Revs replied with a solo shot by Simoneit in the third to go up 5-1. In the home third Lucky's RBI double and Joseph Carpenter's two-run single brought the Stormers back to within 5-4. In the fifth an RBI double by Bubba Alleyne put the Revs up by two, in the eighth Lucky singled and scored on a wild pitch making it 6-5. In the ninth the Stormers loaded the bases with two out but could not score as the Revs took the series two games to one. Jordan Morales was the winner in relief of starter J.C. Ramirez with Cam Robinson working the ninth for the save, Michael McAvene started for the Stormers and took the loss. Take care, thanks for reading.
