Victories for Diamond States, Atlas Over Minerva BBC

On May 31, the Diamond State BBC hosted the Minerva BBC of Bridgeton, NJ at Fort DuPont.  The matches of the day demonstrated the excellent fielding skills of both the first and second nines.  In the first match, the Diamond States kept the Minerva away from home plate, blanking the New Jersey nine while tallying 8 aces.  The nine was led by Memphis from the pitchers points and Split (3 hits) from the striker’s line.  The victory improved the Diamond States record on the season to 7 wins and 2 losses.

The Atlas Nine took their turn against the Minerva in the second match.  The visiting club tallied a pair of aces in their first turn at bat.  However, the Atlas soon followed the example of the Diamond State fielders, holding the Minvera without any additional tallies during the match.  Meanwhile, the Atlas strikers showed their might, tallying 13 aces, including six in their second inning.  Thunder led the Atlas from the pitcher’s points while the strikers were led by Triple B (2 doubles), Lobo (3 hits) and Lightning (3 hits).  The victory was the first of the season for the Atlas to go along with their 2 losses.

The Diamond State BBC will return to action on June 7th as they make their annual trip to Pea Patch Island to play under the shadow of Fort Delaware.  The game will be part of the State Park’s Victorian Kids Festival at will begin at 1:00 pm.  Pea Patch Island is accessible only by ferry.  Information on fares and schedules can be found on the Delaware State Parks website.
