I received a few different severe weather alerts on my phone this afternoon. There were threatening skies in the area, and many more areas received high winds, rain, and who knows what else. In Rochester though, the storms stayed away and two pitchers took matters into their own hands, both going the distance. Goffstown won 2-1 in a 7-inning game that was finished in less than 2 hours.
Every day is a new day, and just about anything can happen. This afternoon Goffstown returned to their home field to play the Manchester Memorial Crusaders in a battle between teams looking to possibly host a first-round tournament game. Eight pitches into the game, the Grizzlies found themselves behind, 3-0. Baseball: Grizzlies come back before falling to the Crusaders, 5-4
The sun was shining, for the most part. There were some big, no huge, clouds, but also, sun, shadows, and some blue sky. It was one of the very few truly beautiful days for baseball since the season began. And, in Bedford vs. Goffstown typical baseball rivalry fashion, the game was well played, an instant classic. Baseball: Instant Classic, Grizzlies win at Bedford, 4-3
Goffstown came home to play the #2 Bishop Guertin Cardinals at Lion’s Field this afternoon. On an overcast, mild day if it was January, the Grizzlies got off to a fast start and led for most of the game. Bishop Guertin (BG) showed their depth and skill by stringing 4 straight clutch hits together in the seventh inning to win the ballgame, 7-5. Baseball: Bishop Guertin scores late to beat the Grizzlies, 7-5
The Goffstown Grizzlies baseball team traveled down to Windham this afternoon to play the Jaguars. Both teams entered in to play with 6-6 records. The game got underway at 4 pm, with an impending nor’easter approaching fast. The rain started at 4:45 pm or so.
