Rowan and Wayne

Posts will be from the top to the bottom, the latest inning being last.

The connection here is tenuous, so bear with me. Also, unlike in the first game, I won't be sitting at a table at the top of the stadium.

The game is scheduled to start shortly before one. I may try to blog once an inning because it's too inconvenient to do it in the dugout. It doesn't have any power.

Scroll for a list of radio stations covering the game. But don't forget me.

Rowan first: Justin Rowland singles to center. Right fielder Alex Casey drops Phillip Miclet's fly ball. Trey Holmes grounds to short for a possible DP, but the throw to first is wide. Wayne starter Michael Douglas fans the next batter but gives up an RBI single to Noah Holmes. A groundout ends the inning.
