6/19: Willy Yahn Pitches In Baysox Loss

MINOR LEAGUE GAME SUMMARIES

[Just Regular]

We took the freshly minted kindergarten graduate for fireworks, and what a doozy of a game.   635 start and unfortunately we had tears to manage at the 1100 curfew trying to ease the blow for a very tired 6-year-old he would not get to see fireworks tonight because the baseball men were not finished.   He got to learn that sometimes 1-2% outcomes do happen, but the Baysox did give ticket vouchers to everyone exiting afterwards.

We had front row seats right at the Rubber Ducks on-deck circle, and kiddo got an in-game fist bump from Will Benson, a new favorite non-Oriole.

Yes, a Baysox position player pitched (Yahn had a great night covering for Ortiz/Vavra, with three hits including two doubles - he was a 5-hour folk hero batting 9th and pitching), so obviously today all the limitations come off Grayson Rodriguez as he must save the Baysox bullpen, right?   110 pitches, let's go big fella!

We have to get the 6 year old to see fireworks at another game!  Thanks for sharing the story.

Here's some stats on Will Benson

New Hampshire (Austin Martin, Jordan Groshans, Gabriel Moreno leading the one lineup keeping up with the Baysox) are in next week. 

We're looking at Saturday fireworks night for use of our General Admission vouchers, which might also line up to be Grayson if he pitches Game 5 next week after this afternoon.
