Diamond State Victorious in Return to Ft. DuPont
After a two-month departure, the Diamond State Base Ball Club was excited to return to their home grounds at Ft. DuPont State Park. Their opponent for the pair of matches on September 8 was their downstate rivals from the Lewes BBC. In the first match, the Delaware bats came out of strong, tallying 7 aces in the first inning. The aces kept coming at a steady place for the Blue and Black, including 6 more aces in the seventh inning, to finish the game with 21 aces. Meanwhile, despite showing great resolve to plate 5 aces in their final turn at bat, the Lewes club was unable to make up the difference and fell by the final tally of 21-9. The Diamond State club was lead at the striker’s line by Blackbart, who went 4-6 with a double, triple, and home run.
The Diamond State bats cooled in the second match, as they clung to a narrow 2-0 advantage through 4 innings. The bats came alive in the 5th and 6th innings to add 6 aces in the 5th and 6th innings while Mini’s pitching and strong defensive play kept the Lewes nine off of the scoreboard until finally conceding a pair of aces in the last inning, with the final standing at 8-2 in advantage of the home nine.
The Diamond State BBC will finish out their regular-season slate with a visit to the Excelsior BBC of Milford on September 15.
