Peninsula Ball

Big baseball day here in Southern Door.

 

Kolberg Braves v Washington Islanders for the championship!

 

 

With the ball park only about a mile or so down the road, Sunday home games are a regular on our calendar.  Parking is free, admission is $4, burgers and brats are $4, hot dogs $3, frosty-cold canned beers are $2 and salted in the shell peanuts are $1.  $20 stretches pretty far for the Missus and I for an afternoon of baseball.  And a game doesn't go by without bumping-into a neighbor or friend.

 

Today's game was a duel of pitching staff and substitutions.  And was a white knuckle affair right to the bitter end.

 

Kolberg went into the 9th with a 10 to 5 lead.  Comfortable margin, right?  The Islanders rallied and closed the gap to within 1 run of Kolberg's 10 run lead.  With two outs and bases-loaded for the Islanders Kolberg held fast winning the championship 10 to 9.

 

 

More exciting (to this blogger at least) than Brewers baseball back in the Naked City.
