So I went to a NECBL game today. I saw the Keene Swamp Bats host the Holyoke Blue Sox. I was going for the Blue Sox because the Blue Sox have UConn players Mike Nemeth and Doug Jennings on it. They also have a kid that went to my high school on that team.
We had a long rain delay. It was raining really hard. Thankfully we were playing on turf so it was playable after the rain left.
I worked the scoreboard while I was there.
Mike Nemeth hit a home run in batting practice. I saw that. He gets credit for it.
He hit 6th today and was the designated hitter. After tonight he's probably hitting in the mid to upper .270's. He went 1 for 4. He had an opposite field shot that was hit well but to the wrong spot. He got a rbi single later in the game. Everything he hit was either up the middle or to the opposite field.
Doug Jennings didn't pitch today, he started yesterday and picked up a win.
There was a pitcher on the opposing team from Georgia that was nasty. He struck out 5 of 6. He was just nasty.
I must say that the Keene Swamp Bats have a lot of loyal fans. They played this game at a neutral site, yet they still got a good crowd. They had regular people dressed up in jerseys for a NECBL team. They have a lot of history in the league and are one of the top teams in the league once again this year.
I had fun and I'm glad I got to go and do something useful.
