Last
night Carlton, Kayla and Ariel joined us for a birthday baseball game at the
Fifth Third ballpark just a mile from our house. Both Carlton and John
have July 13 birthdays, and this was a late celebration. Great fun. And
what a game it was, as is noted below. Over 9,000 fans, game tied 9 to 9 in
the 9th inning. Then due to lightening, the game is called.
COMSTOCK
PARK, MI - Inclement weather foiled the finish of a tight contest in front of
9,360 fans between the West Michigan Whitecaps and Great Lakes Loons Thursday
night at Fifth Third Ballpark as the 9-9 tie was suspended after nine innings
of play.
After
Great Lakes broke out the offense in the early innings and took an 8-1 lead,
the Whitecaps came storming back with a comeback highlighted by a game-tying
grand slam by Chad Sedio - his second of the night.
This good news from an
hour ago:
The Great Lakes
Loons were unable to maintain their momentum from Thursday evening's suspended
game, falling to the West Michigan Whitecaps, 10-9, in 11 innings on
Friday.
