Catfish Fall, Drop Series To Bombers

The Catfish dropped the final game of the short series with the Greenville Bombers (Red Sox) tonight, 8-5. The loss drops Columbus to 1-2 in the second half. The Catfish fell behind early, came back to take the lead, but lost the lead late and couldn't come back.

The two players the wife and I "sponsor," Dan Batz and Lucas May, both had good games tonight. Each had a hit, Luke had 3 RBIs, and Dan made an outstanding play to save a run and help get out of a jam. Despite their good play tonight, both were down because the team didn't win. They are both fine examples of team players, putting the team ahead of themselves and their accomplishments.

Tomorrow, they head to Rome to face the Braves in another short series, then the All-Star break, then back home next Thursday to open a home stand against the Greensboro Bats Grasshopppers (Marlins).
