Not a bad day at the park.
L 6-0
Armstrong was not that bad on the hill, but did work behind in the count all day (4 walks and 1 K)Edgin had 1 good inning and then lost it. Just could never get a hit with Runners on base,Hit into 2 DP also.
Missing Ryan Meade so far this weekend.Hope all is well with him. Delucia struggled at DH today.
W 4-1
Another great start from Dean W. He looked in control for most of the game.I really like his potential as a Buckeye pitcher.
Kennedy and Rupert with 2 hits each and Miller got going a little.Still does not look 100% to me? Hurley is playing well right now and has found a spot in the lineup.Toussant had a big PH rbi today in the 6th.
Best weather day this season by far!Nice to watch a game not wearing the winter gear.Lol
Hope JB Shuck comes to play sunday and can take 3/4.
Go Bucks!
