September began with Labor Day aka The Last Day Of Summer, the following day I was at the health campus. It's an alternating-weeks lather-rinse-repeat deal: on Tuesday I get blood work done, Wednesday is the chemo treatment and the chemo pump is attached to the port in my upper right chest, forty-six hours later on Friday the pump is removed by a visiting nurse. In the evening we were back at the ballpark, the Stormers hosted their Old Friends from Across The River. The York Revolution was visiting for the first time since June, this was their third and final series in Lancaster (the only divisional opponent not to visit four times). On this night the Stormers jumped on top in the first on a Mason Martin RBI hit, in the third a solo home run from Brandon Lewis and Jeremy Arocho's RBI single put the Revs up 2-1. The Stormers tied it 2-2 in the bottom half on another RBI hit by Martin but from there the game was all Revs emphatically and without question. Solo home runs from Ryan Higgins in the fourth and Caleb McNeely in the fifth were followed by a Shayne Fontana RBI single in the sixth, another Higgins RBI hit in the seventh made it 6-2. William Simoneit's two-run homer in the eighth and a solo shot by Arocho in the ninth put away a 9-2 Rev win, Jimmy Burnette got the decision in relief of starter Braden Scott with Luke McCullough taking the loss for the Stormers. The series continues on Wednesday and Thursday. Take care, thanks for reading.
