Diamond State Splits with Milford in DE Cup Matchup

On Sunday, August 24, the Diamond State Base Ball Club played host to their in-state rivals from the Excelsior BBC of Milford.  The day featured a pair of tightly-contested defensive battles.

In the opening match of the day, the Excelsior edged the Blue and Black by the score of 4-3.  The effort at the striking line was led by Anchor, who reached base with a hit in each of his four trips to the line.

The follow-up was also decided by a single tally, with the Diamond State Club coming out on top by a final of 3-2.  The Diamond States were led by Lightning, as he reached base twice, stole 3 bases, and tallied 2 of the club’s 3 aces.

The Diamond State Base Ball Club will be idle for the Labor Day Weekend and will return to action on Sunday, September 7 as they take part in the 2014 Base Ball Exhibition & Fair at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.  They will face the Atlantic BBC of Brooklyn at 10:00 am followed by the Gotham BBC of New York at 12:00 pm.
