ORU v. Western Illinois


Bogus Smith

Recommended Posts

The good guys start a three game series with 3-17 Western Illinois.  Although all teams have at least one good pitcher, if we do not get a sweep out of this weekend, there should be a level of frustration that none of us would want to tolerate.

Should be a lot of home runs for the right handed batters tonight. 🤣

Currently 25-40 mph winds out of the southwest; left field at Beautiful J.L. is going to be a launchpad as long as this keeps up.

Unfortunately, said winds took out about 8' of our fence and a gate today...will need to spend the evening on repairs. 👎🏻

Home run derby the first 3 innings; the wind has died down somewhat at sunset, and the Leatherneck bats have warmed up:  10-5 Golden Eagles through five.

TheEagleman is hoping that Grip got his fence repaired and will be out at JLJ later this afternoon for game 2 vs. the Leathernecks.....probably still a few dogs left although the cost will be higher than $1....they can't possibly charge more than $2.50 at the park for an ORU hot dog?  Can they?....weather looks great with sunny skies and 65-70 degrees at opening pitch.....GO BLUE!!! :tb-white::wiu:

If it were the University operating the concessions, it would be around $2.00-$2.50, but this is Sodexo!  They have a much higher profit margin requirement that makes their concessions cost-prohibitive.  Gotta know your audience.... 😄

Yes.  The Mrs. & I usually go to the late service on Sunday, stop by McAlister's Deli, Sonic or some place like that and take our lunch to our seats behind home plate so that we can help the umpire call balls-and-strikes and have a nice Sunday picnic to go with a Golden Eagles win. 😀

With the help of my BIL, the fence is repaired and the gate operable! 💪 Unfortunately, I'm now at the airport heading to a not so sunny Seattle for a quick project. Will have to settle for overpriced coffee instead of overpriced hotdogs. But looking forward to picking up some Sonic or McAlister's some Sunday to join Bogus and the Mrs. behind home plate - the ump surely needs a little more encouragement!

Good guys currently coasting 7-1 in the 7th! #GOBLUE

Good guys are on their way to a sweep tomorrow as they win today's game, 7-2; thus, winning the series for the weekend.  A sweep tomorrow will get ORU to the 20-win plateau heading into its mid-week game with the Sooners on Tuesday night.

Will look forward to keeping the ump honest with 'Grip sometime soon.  In the meantime, safe travels to the cloudy/rainy northwest.
