Euvi Solano - Donuts Revisited

After last night's discussion of donuts, I thought it was quite interesting that Hickory's Euvi Solano lost his tonight as well. Euvi got his first home run of the season against Lakewood BlueClaws powerhouse Matt Maloney, who leads the South Atlantic League in pitching with a 1.55 ERA and 125 strikeouts. My hat's off to Euvi for picking up a homer against Maloney :)

Tonight ended a 4-game series against the Lakewood BlueClaws. The 'Dads managed to win one of the four, but the BlueClaws are the number one team in the northern division of the South Atlantic League. After tonight, they have a record of 21 wins and 9 losses in the second half of the season. The team is full of talent and we suffered at their hands this week.

Tonight also ended an 8-game home series for the 'Dads. They have tomorrow off and will be travelling to Columbus for 4 games against the Catfish and then on to Rome for 4 more against the Braves. August 1st is another off day before we kick off another 8-game series at home against the Charleston RiverDogs and then the Savannah Sand Gnats.

With 10 consecutive days of no home baseball for the Crawdads, I will try to make some postings with some photos of miscellaneous things between now and the next home series.

In the mean time, If you would like to have a sneak preview of the second set Crawdads baseball cards, take a look HERE. I will be turning these in next week, but I may change a few of them out between now and then.

I'm travelling to Winston-Salem on Tuesday to see the Lynchburg Hillcats play the Winston-Salem Warthogs. I'll be bringing home some photos of former Crawdads who are playing in Lynchburg.

Dosvedanya until then...
