Had lunch with Jenny and Helen on Wednesday, Jenny said John messaged her online to thank them for the card I had given him on Tuesday. She has always been very sensitive, when she does something nice for someone and they acknowledge the effort it means a lot to her. At the ballpark in the evening for game #2 with the Revs, on this night Jalen Battles' second-inning sac fly gave the Stormers a 1-0 lead. The Revolution went up 2-1 in the fourth on a Drew Ramirez two-run double, Shed (short for Shedric) Long's RBI hit it the sixth made it 3-1. In the ninth the Stormers pulled even on Joseph Carpenter's two-out double to tie it 3-3 and set the stage for extra innings. In the tenth the Revs scored twice on an error and a wild pitch, the Stormers replied in kind on Corey Rosier's two-run home run. In the eleventh the Revolution scored three times on a double by Nick Dunn and DeVonte Brown's RBI hit, in the bottom half the Stormers got two back on singles by Melvin Mercedes and newcomer Dean Mihos but the rally ended there as the Revs held on 8-7, Shane Gray won it in relief with Ronnie Voacolo taking the loss. The series reached its midpoint on Thursday, on this night the Revs jumped on top in the first on a Nick Dunn double and a Jackson Ross single. Brian Rey's two-run double in the fourth made it 4-0 but the Stormers got two back in the bottom half on Tristan English's RBI double and a David Smith sac fly. In the sixth Dunn struck again with a solo home run, an RBI hit by Shed Long made it 6-2 Revs. Nathan Martorella's solo shot in the home seventh accounted for the game's last score, Hunter Parsons took the 6-3 win with Brady Tedesco suffering the loss. Take care, thanks for reading.
