A Tough Night in HickTown

There isn't much to say about tonight's game in Hickory. The Charleston RiverDogs managed to shutout the 'Dads by a score of 3-0 at L.P. Frans Stadium tonight. The above photo shows one of the few highlights of the game. Cameron Blair managed to steal second base, but the Blues Brothers deemed that Shelby Ford interfered with the throw from the plate, cancelling the steal and generating the out.

The 'Dads performance tonight was so uninspiring that I had a difficult time deciding who would get my Big League Chew Player of the Game award. I decided to give it to Cameron Blair, not for the steal, but for an amazing catch he made in the 7th inning on a line drive that was headed into left field.

I did talk to a Crawdad tonight about the autographs issue that I discussed yesterday and got some feedback. I'm planning to write about that here during the 'Dads next road trip.

After losing three of four to the Charleston RiverDogs, we have a four-game home stand with the Savannah Sand Gnats starting tomorrow night. I'll be covering the first three of those games for sure, but the fourth one may get missed. I'm taking a vacation to Chicago and I'm not exactly sure when I'm leaving Hickory. It will either be Wednesday night or very early Thursday morning.

I hope I'll have something interesting to write about tomorrow night :)
