Brezell Stadium at Grand Canyon College in Phoenix The Alamo
We travelled to the home of the Grand Canyon College Diamondbacks to serve as host to the San Antonio Texans. This game had none of the suspense of Game 1. We scored in the first inning when your faithful correspondent doubled over the right fielders head to score a run giving us the early lead. As I was also pitching I enjoyed the run and lead it gave me. Later in the game there was mentioned the Alamo was in San Antonio. Doc Parsons kindly suggested they go back to hide there or risk another massacre today. The battle of the Alamo was a 12 day siege and in the heat it seemed like our game took that long.
Our lead expanded to 9-1 and finally 14-1 in the brutal 95 degree heat and the Texans never really threatened hitting only 2 balls out of the infield all game. But this game has an entireley different pulse to it as we had confidence now.
The 12 fans at this game ( more witness protection players I am sure) did not have much suspense but enjoyed seeing some hitting. Jeff Carrol had 3 hits to make 5 in total for both games for the day . Paul Regensburg our shortstop had 6 hits for the day to lead the team and played a terrific shortstop.
Charlie Zunda caught the entire game and managed to get two hits while directing the defense in what was a brutally hot game where everyone left exhausted except Charlie who was ready to go play another game.
