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.

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?
