The Hounds are now 5-3 after losing to the Aviators by 20+? runs in only 4 innings. It was a rough one today as we couldn’t do much right. The highlight of the game was the Aviators catcher stealing both second and third base while up 11 runs, spiking Brent Schoenbach (#7, 3B) in the leg, but this did not prevent Schoenbach from making a diving play later in the contest, seemingly the only defensive highlight on this hot windless day at Winnemac.
When I was a kid we would play “running bases” where you had a runner in the middle and a fielder at each base, practicing run downs. My cousins from Boston called it “pickle.” Well, whatever you call it, the Aviators bested the Hounds in that game 4-0 today.
But have no fear, the Hounds have 5 games in a stretch of 5 days coming up, including a double header v. the Electrons on Sunday, so this is the time for the Hounds to bounce back and win a lot of games. Hope to see you there.
