South Oakland Ducks of the North Side (10-5-1)
vs
Bauerstown Grizzlies (7-7-1)
9pm
Springview Field
A win for the Ducks tonight would pull the team back within a half game of the Eagles (12-4-1) and the Bandidos (13-6). The Grizzlies are trying to stop a three game losing streak and get back over .500.
League-wide, this season has been characterized by a bunch of ties and blackouts. It reminds me of my early twenties, most which I also spent playing for the Ducks. Seven of eleven teams in Double A have a tie, and the new guy at the city can’t keep the lights on. The stretch run this season is going to be interesting.
We’ve already had a tie, a rain-shortened game, a suspended game, and a game in which the lights went out in the bottom of the first inning.
South Oakland’s previous game against Bauerstown was called early due to a thunderstorm with the Ducks leading 8-7 heading into the bottom of the sixth. That game will be made up after the regularly scheduled seven inning game is played, if time permits, and the lights stay on.
The Ducks are coming off a big win against the Express, and should field a more complete lineup than the last meeting between the two teams.
Bad News for the Grizzlies
One of the Single A teams somehow has three ties. Also, high praise for the Vancouver Grizzlies pictures
