The Baseball Gods and the weather goddess @margaretorrwdsu hath spoken: Autumn in New Orleans is a baseball paradise. This past weekend, conditions were perfect for baseball and therefore baseball was played. Taking full advantage of our sacred 48 hours of freedom at the end of each week, the Secret 9 and Gentilly Giants took the field Saturday in a high hitting contest. The crack of the bat filled the air with runners coming home in 8 of 9 innings. The following day, the Beef Sliders and the Rougarou saluted the rising sun with an exciting bout of their own. A tense match ensued as the Beef slid their way into their second victory on the season. The Pelicans hosted the Crete Street Riot thereafter in a game where the later innings took center stage. CSR rallied over the Pels as the Blues and Weebies looked with worry at their watches and sun. Eighteen ball players took the field at 3:15pm in hopes of 9 innings before the sun dipped below the horizon. A beautiful — and at times emotional — game ensued as both teams looked to squeeze a win out of each of their nine-player lineups. Two hours and 15 minutes later, the game drew to a close. The Baseball Gods were pleased with the offerings on the hallowed ground of Perry Roehm Stadium this weekend and hence granted the @saints a victory shortly after baseball drew to a close (you’re welcome).
