Diamond State & Atlas Nine Seasons Underway

The Diamond State Base Ball Club season got under way on April 14 with a trip to Glen Burnie, MD.  The day’s slate of games included Diamond State taking on the Old Dominion BBC of VA and the Atlas Nine facing off with the Excelsior BBC of Arundel, MD.

In the first match, the Diamond States fell behind early to the Old Dominion club as they worked to shake of their winter rust.  However, once the bats awoke from hibernation, there was no turning back as the Blue & Black mounted back-to-back innings of powerful hitting and never looked back on their way to a 19-2 victory.  The team was lead at the striker’s line by Mini, who had 4 hits in 5 trips to the plate in between a fine pitching performance.  Power and speed were also on display as both Blackbart and Lightning hit home runs.

The second match was the inaugural game of the newly formed Atlas Nine.  They faced a challenge in the Excelsior, but held tough throughout.  However, they were only able to manage 5 tallies to the Arundel club’s twelve.  Key contributors to the offensive effort included Gator and Killa B, who each recorded a pair of hits in 3 attempts.

Diamond State next game will be on April 20 with their first home match of the season at Ft. DuPont State Park in Delaware City.  They will play host to MAVBBL newcomers, the Brandywine BBC of West Chester at 1:00 pm.
