Pedro Powell

I travelled to Winston-Salem on Tuesday night to see the Lynchburg Hillcats play the Winston-Salem Warthogs. I enjoyed getting to see a few of last year's Crawdads on the trip. One of my favorites is Pedro Powell. I used to see Pedro at the concession stand at L.P. Frans stadium about an hour before game time every night. He was loading up on cookies & cream ice cream before each game.

Pedro got a home run in West Virginia last year, and when he returned, I asked him if their ice cream was better than ours. He just grinned :)

Pedro plays center field for the Hillcats and he played that position for the Crawdads as well. Pedro is fast too, as are most center fielders. He's stolen 46 bases this season with the Hillcats.

Dads Roadtrip Update:

The 'Dads took 3 of 4 at Columbus and they won their first match with Rome on Saturday. They play Rome again today at 2pm. We are 5 games out of first place with plenty of time to catch up before the end of the season :)
