Baseball was played in the Crescent City this past Sunday. Early in the morning, the @nolapelicansbc sealed up their first win of the season against the hot-in-the-streets @beefslidersbaseball. Rain clouds loomed as @s9nola and @cretestreetriot took the field. An exciting matchup ensued and don’t worry folks, the grounds crew confirmed that no potatoes were sprouting around third base. The @bsjbluesbaseball and @rougarou_nola then had themselves a high-scoring, post rain ballgame filled with excitement and cigar smoke lofting through the third base dugout. Then, the Purple Team and the Green Team took Larry Gilbert Stadium under beautiful skies and a vibrant rainbow bestowed by the Baseball Gods for our league’s use of untethered bases and neighborhood plays. The night game swiftly became a pitcher’s duel before the @fifthwardweebies clawed their way back to their second walk off win in a row. Note, a HBP resulted in the walk off so take it however you like.
We’re off this week for JazzFest but also the travel game in Nashville (don’t worry I’ll post something about that soon). Have fun while we’re in Nashville and maybe play some pickup?
