Well, baseball on Saturday night. The Chiefs had a Cardinal pitcher making a rehab start…and he promptly gave up a single and a double with his first 2 batters; a double play allowed one run to score and so it was 1-0.
But the Chiefs had a pep in their step all evening, and the pitcher got comfortable and frustrated Kernel batters with sharp breaking balls the rest of the evening. Result was a very nice 7-3 win.
The game featured a Chiefs player being ejected over an argued 3’rd strike call and a brief stoppage due to a drone over the field.
It was “Faith and Family” night..and I wondered how many were vaccinated. When someone standing behind me complained about a vaccine mandate at work, I moved.
Still..great game and perfect conditions.
Sunday: sparse Sunday crowd as usual but Lynn joined me and ..of course, B wanted to go (someone she could talk to).
The Chiefs lost 3-1 and didn’t get their first hit until the 7’th inning…and still had 2 on base in the bottom of the 8’th when they got their 3’rd out; it was a winnable game. Kernels’ pitching was too much.
The Kernels got their first 2 runs via towering solo home runs.
Later B and I attended a Cornstalk production of “Complete Works of Shakespeare” (comedy)
Note: in the “3 of us photo”, I had taken off my mask; for much of the game our row, the row behind us and the row ahead of us was completely empty. I did wear the mask in the concourse and to and from the stadium..every time.
