Hounds Split DH at Walther
The Chicago Hounds split a doubleheader v. the Orioles at Walther Christian Academy today. Both scores were 5-3, the second game (and the Hound victory) took 8 innings instead of the regular 7.
Former Hound Jake Tedlund got his 3rd win v. the Hounds with the victory in game 3. The Hounds scored 3 runs in the first (the first 3 batters all scored), but they never tallied another run in the rest of the game.
Hounds have best win of 2019!
The Chicago Hounds are now 6-5 after a spectacular 2-1 win over the Electrons tonight at Winnemac Park. The play was outstanding on both sides, but the Hounds came out with the victory.
Hounds are back to .500
The Chicago Hounds are back to .500 (5-5) on the 2019 CMBA season after losing to the Yankees 7-2. The Hounds won the season series 2 games to 1 v. the Yanks, but were unable to complete the sweep.
Opener becomes starter?
Was it that Alec Reinke (#14, P) finally found an umpire who would call his ridiculously moving and just-so-difficult-to-follow pitches as strikes? Was it the first appearance of pickles on the bench (albeit, not Clausen)? Was it the fact that the Yankees just aren’t that good?

Hounds win in best overall game of the season
The Hounds defeated the Red Sox 4-1 today in the best overall game of the Hounds’ 2019 CMBA season. Both teams brought their best today, and there were at most 1-2 errors overall. The pitching on both sides was outstanding and it was just a tremendously solid win for the Hounds. Continue reading “Hounds win in best overall game of the season”
Hounds give another team their first win
The Chicago Hounds are now 3-3 after losing 13-8 to the formerly winless Pirates at a sloppy Proviso East baseball field today. It was sunny, but after the flash flood watch last night, Maywood was unplayable–despite the clear lie by the opposing manager who claimed it was playable prior to the game. But, I am happy with my apology. Frankly, that started an overall lousy day. But hey, Stephen Correa Jr. got his number 5 jersey and was on the winning side with Lili and Maddie, so all good.
Hounds win 16-5!
Q: When is a walkoff, not really a walkoff?
A. When the team is leading by a wide margin, and does not take the lead with the final hit?
B. When the the final run results from a triple with an error, and not a home run?
C. When the umpire calls the game after an 11-run lead, when the league rule is 12?
D. When the umpire may have called the game for the cannot-start-an-inning-after-8-pm-CMBA rule?
E. When the player who hit the triple, sneaks into the manager’s bag and tries to change the official scorekeeper’s ruling?
F. All of the above?
Tonight, the answer was probably all of the above.
