LIVE From Perdue Stadium

We're getting ready to start the game. Returning from their road trip where the Shorebirds won only one game and lost two. Hopefully tonight we'll see some great playing.

Lakewood is 3-4 for the season while the Shorebirds are 2-4. The players have taken the field and we're moments away from the start.

The Shorebirds are at bat, Angle walked and then stole second. Davis Cash just struck out and now Tyler Henson is up with one out. With a sacrifice fly and a man on 1st & 3rd, the runner from 3rd scores on a close play at the plate. The runner on 1st stole second. We're 1-0 with the inning coming to a close.

Top of the 2nd with the first batter striking out. Two down. Lakewood hits a double with a beautiful hit down the 1st base line. 3 down and we're in the bottom of the 2nd, Shorebirds 1, Lakewood 0.

That was quick. Shorebirds went 3 up, 3 down and we're now in the top of the 3rd, 1-0 Shorebirds. Lakewood starts off with a lead off double. Runner on second moved to third while the batter grounds out. One out and a man on third. RBI Grounder. Man from 3rd scores with 2 outs. score 1-1. Taylor smacks the ball right between the pitchers legs and Taylor easily gets a base hit. There's talking with the pitcher and we're back to playing ball. Ground ball and they tag second base, inning over. Lakewood 1, Shorebirds 1. Bottom of the 3rd, Matt Tucker starts off with a base hit. Pop up bunt, one out. Tucker tries to steal 2nd and is tagged out. Cash pops an infield fly, the inning is over.

We're in the top of the 4th, 3 up, 3 down, we're now in the bottom of the 4th, Shorebirds are up. So much for that, the inning is over, no score and we're heading into the top of the 5th. The most exciting part of the 4th inning was a foul ball that hit the upper deck wall and bounced back down towards the general admission seats and believe it or not went right into a trash can. I'll deliver photos later showing several kids with their heads inside the trash can looking for the ball.

Three up, three down. We're heading into the bottom of the 5th. We've got two outs but we also have a man on 1st & 2nd. 3 outs and the inning is over. Top of the 6th is over without any real excitement. 3 up, 3 down, the 6th inning is over, the score remains 1-1

OK, things are getting exciting now. The Shorebirds are up in the bottom of the bottom of the 7th and the Shorebirds have scored, man on second, one out! OK, Shorebirds have scored another run on an error and once again we have a man on second! 3-1 Shorebirds. Orioles are up 5-2 against Tampa Bay.

Catcher George Wolf who was hit in the head last week by a pitch came in the following day with slurred speech and they sent him off to Baltimore, Shock Trauma. OK, we're through 8 innings with the score still 3-1 Shorebirds.

ONE down. Two more outs and this game is over! 2 down, one out to go. Tonights attendance, 2,412. This Game Is Over! Shorebirds 3, Lakewood, 1!

Don't forget tomorrow nights game at 7:05 PM with FIREWORKS!
