Saturday, September 15, 1876 vs. Washington Olympics (38-30 2nd place in the Liberty League)

Our final home game and some of our fans regaled us with a song they had written in honor of our Championship. They called it "Make Hay While the Sun is Shining." It really choked me up. I had a horrible season personally, to be honest, dropping 100 points off my batting average from last year, but I am very proud of the job I did putting this team together. And I'm proud of the way they pulled through when the injuries decimated our outfield and took John Bendickson's golden arm away from us.

Cal Wright is 4-2 with a 1.13 ERA against Troy.

Cal Wright, Wash. (32 R 24-21 3.09) vs. Abe Everette, Troy (27 L 20-13 1.67)

Down 5 to 3 in the bottom of the 7th, C Jumbo Tilford came through with a 2-out hit to drive in a pair and put us in the lead for good. He had two hits with a double and scored a run. Everette held Washington to 7 hits.

Other Games:
