Our house. Th, F, Sat. Let's start conference season right.

St Joes is 9-13 with a #247 RPI. The Cats are 11-13 with a #255 RPI.

We are 2-3 against Quad 1/2 opponents and the Hawks are 0-1.

Need to win the home series.

Clownish start. Hawks got their first two on an error and a passed ball. Their third run was courtesy of another error.

We just got one on a solo homer Friend.

Line score after 3 innings: 3/4/0 to 1/2/2.

St Joes pitcher has good stuff thus far. Wilson Perkins pitching well too - his fielder's have let him down thus far.

Lots of 2-out action in the bottom of the 4th. Up 3-5, runners at 1 and 2 for Shaggy...

Walk. Loaded. Cider to the plate to face the new Hawk...

3/4/0 to 5/7/2.

Perkins back out for the 5th.

Cats win on a walk-off base hit: 9-8.

Both teams pens struggled today.

That theft of home was nice.

2pm on Friday for Game 2.

Recap:

You might want to go today and/or tomorrow to see if McShane pitches in relief for the Hawks. He pitched 2.1 innings last night. One of the guys in the bullpen said that he regularly throws 94-95 and that he hit 98 mph in his first inning against us. We have a chance to reach .500 for the season today.

Hawks had the leadoff batter at 3rd with no outs (HBP, went to third when we threw it to the bullpen trying to pick him off), but didn't score. We had 2 on (2 walks) when Shaggy doubled Friend in. We put the leadoff batter on in the second with a walk. He scored. We have our first two on in the second (walk and single).

2/3/0 to 1/2/1 after 3.

Cavanaugh done after 6. 2 runs and 4 hits - leading after 6 inning 4-2. Fix in.

2/4/1 to 7/7/2 with 1 out, bottom 7. Wilhoit up...

8/8/2 after 7.
