Goffstown scored a run in the first inning and that was all they really needed. Connor Hujsak and the Grizzlies defense held the Nashua North Titans off of the scoreboard, allowing only 6 total baserunners all afternoon. The Grizzlies finally won two games in a row for the first time this season, after a come from behind win against Salem yesterday, and a 6-0 shutout today at Holman Stadium in Nashua.
In a game which saw 19 runs scored, of which only 8 were earned, there was a big comeback and some clutch hitting and pitching. Poor luck starter, Myles Green allowed 6 runs, all unearned, in the second inning, when 4 of the first 6 Blue Devils reached on errors in the infield. Goffstown trailed 6-1, and then 9-5 in the fourth, before coming back to win it, 10-9.
The sun finally came out, and the blue sky was as beautiful as I remembered it. It was a gorgeous afternoon for baseball. Warmer temps, the sun shining and you would think maybe the offenses would be cranking. That did not happen though. But it was so nice outside that the teams decided that 7 innings would not be long enough. The Owls took down the Grizzlies, 3-2 in 9 innings on a walk-off double by Timberlanes’ Cam Sweet.
Looking at the standings and trends earlier today, it would seem that a Portsmouth victory was nearly a foregone conclusion. Portsmouth entered play at 6-1, while Goffstown had limped to a disappointing 2-5 start. It’s one of the best, if not the best, rivalries in NH baseball, Portsmouth vs. Goffstown. Then again, that’s why they play the games. Goffstown came from behind and shocked the Clippers with a 7-5 win at Lion’s Field in Goffstown.
The temperature finally hit the half-century mark, but the cold breeze kept it feeling like it was in the mid-’40s at best. Somehow though, both teams came out pounding the baseball all over the yard. In the end, the Astros, who scored runs in five of their six offensive innings, controlled the game and won 13-6.

This wasn’t this morning, but one-morning last week. All had been dark, grey, and misty, with a healthy helping of fog. When in a moment layers of sky peeled back to expose the bright and…
Just one day after being totally shut down by the Keene Blackbirds, the Goffstown Grizzlies turned the tables and took it out on the Nashua South Panthers. Goffstown scored 2 or more runs in each of the first 3 innings and never let up.

With temperatures 30 degrees warmer than the day before, the Grizzlies got the offense going right from the start. Goffstown scored three runs in the first inning and never looked back.

I couldn’t begin to count the number of ways we have been blessed by the addition of our twins to the family. It’s been almost 9 years since they were born and I wish I had tracked every moment that Theodore and Jacqueline made us laugh, or impressed us with their creativity, or just melted our hearts with their love for just about everything.

The Manchester Flames 18U team traveled to San Jose, California to participate in the 2019 CHIPOTLE USA HOCKEY YOUTH TIER II 18U National Championships. Although the team ended up going 0-3, they had a chance to compete in the highest round of competition their level offered. They played teams from Texas, Washington, and North Carolina. I was rooting for the locals, and receiving updates from various sources as well.
Maybe it’s just me but for most of my life I never really stopped to think about heroes. I mean I had all kinds of sports heroes I guess, but I certainly didn’t think of these people, athletes, or whomever as heroes. When I was young I enjoyed Saturday morning cartoons and the Super Friends, but that wasn’t realistic to me. There were cowboys from TV shows and black and white movies that I wished I could be. And there were my favorites, the Indians, the Native Americans, the people that were already on this continent that I really wanted to be. I fell in love with the images and stories of these people.
Did you ever hurt so much that hurt just felt like it was a fixture, a part of every day?
Did you ever hurt so bad, that the colors of life looked changed, like shades of grey?

I have been writing this piece for a few weeks now and it dawned on me recently that my once-rapid pace of putting words to this place had slowed to a mere trickle or re-reading of words already written. I quickly understood why. It’s because somewhere beyond reality I held hope of another game, another picture, another story, another chance to write about this group. Why must it end this way? Why must it end at all?
This write up isn’t the same. No, this one is different. This game wasn’t the same as all the rest. And from my seat at the Rinks of Exeter, maybe my glasses were slightly rose-tinted. Yesterday’s Senior All-Star Classic was fun. It was some pretty good hockey with most kids playing on lines and combinations of players that were completely new to them. But the game didn’t suffer because of it.
