A long day's journey into night.....

as the scheduled 2:05 doubleheader started at 4:00 due to the just miserable wet weather that has lasted about a week so far and naturally the first 7 inning game went extra innings with the Defenders winning 1-0 on a two out Tyler Von Schell single in the 11th. The game lasted 3 hours 21 minutes.. They're playing Game 2 as I'm posting this with the Defs down 4-2. I had a bunch of family stuff the front half of the day and got home around 3:00 and lo and behold Game 1 hadn't started yet so I hustled up to Dodd to and walked into Miracle ticket #4 of the season from a guy who was leaving and had an extra ticket. He'd been there since 1:15 and couldn't wait around anymore. I found a hundred of the faithful inside watching the Yankees/A's game on the video screen. Looked like great weather in New York. Anyway I had more stuff to do tonight and had to leave after the bottom of the sixth. The RockCats pitcher in Game 1 had great stuff and stuck out about 10 or so Defs batters.
Misc fan notes: I understand the weather Sunday is suppose to be worse and that's why this DH had to go off with the thinking Sunday's game could be washed out. It would be tough make up 3 games by scheduling three DH's later on.
