Wednesday saw a portion of the team take a trip to Allegheny College for a midweek matinee game. We left 13 players behind to catch up on classes. We named the starters and took a few fill ins. A group we like to call the Skeleton Crew.
We put up a season-high 19 runs and all 20 players got in. Kenny Johnston made his first start of the season in centerfield and made it count. Another double and three hits mixed in with some SB's. Adam Bronson also had a good day. He came on to catch in the sixth. He roped a two-run double. Adam grew up just across I-79 near Allegheny, so he got to play in front of his family.
The two shared The Hammer for the day (although the actual Hammer is still in Ramsdell's bag). Adam spoke of how he watches the starters play hard every day and felt their support when he got his chance. He really feels like his teammates are behind him. Kenny spoke of the team continueing to win. We have a couple Sunday before heading to Brockport for a single SUNYAC game.
After the game, we had dinner at the Safari Grill. A shout out to Brandon Crum -- former Gannon U. catcher -- for recommending a place to eat. He also coached Adam in legion ball.
At the Safari Grill, there were polar bears, grizzelies, an elephant, zebra -- everything. Pretty sweet. Right on the ninth green.
A good game followed by a good dinner -- can't beat that!
