City of Brotherly Love Kind to Diamond State

On Sunday, August 17 the Diamond State Base Ball Club made the short trek north to Philadelphia to take on the Athletic BBC in Fairmount Park.  In the first match of the day, the Blue and Black strikers made it obvious that they brought their bats north with them, jumping out to an early advantage that the Philly nine was unable to surmount.  When the dust settled, the final score was 22-12 to the advantage of Diamond State.  The Delaware strikers were led by Blackbart, Gator and Lobo, each with 4 hits.  Boots added a home run and Triple B, Sonny and Jefe each chipped in with triples.

In the second match, the Athletic bats came to life and scored six early aces while holding the Blue and Black to a single ace.  However, the Diamond States came storming back with 8 aces in the fifth inning to take the lead.  The Delaware fielders held strong in the late innings to secure a slim 11-7 victory in an evenly contested match.  The Diamond State club was led by Triple B, Anchor and Boots with 2 hits apiece.  Sonny added a home run to the effort.

The Diamond State BBC will return to their home grounds at Fort DuPont State Park on Saturday, August 23rd for a showdown with First State Cup opponents Excelsior BBC of Milford.
