Diamond State Splits Pair with Fair Play BBC

May 20, 2013- On May 18, the Diamond State BBC played host to the Fair Play BBC from Talbot County, MD.  The well-matched clubs battled to a split in the day’s doubleheader.

In the first match, the host nine tallied 4 aces to jump out to the early lead.  However, the Fair Plays battled back and the game was a back-and forth affair through the first 6 innings.  However, the Diamond State defense was able to hold strong in the later innings, which the bats surged to produce 6 additional runs to allow the Blue and Black to wrap up the 12-5 victory.  The DSBBC was led at the plate by Blackbart (4-5, walk, 4 aces, 6 steals) and Buzz (4-6, 2 aces, 2 steals).

The second game was a closely played match, which is the standard when these two clubs meet on the field of play.  This time around, it was the Talbot nine that jumped out to the early advantage.  The Delaware side played a tough match and kept the game close.  However, they were unable to pull ahead in the late innings and came up short by the final tally of 9-8.  The Diamond State offensive effort was lead by One Finger, Lightening and Dutch, who contributed 3 hits apiece.
