Sunday

Saturday, the Vermont Mountaineers beat our Swamp Bats by a final score of 12-9.
The Swamp Bats had an early 5-0  lead and a potentional runaway turned interesting when Vermont picked up two runs before the game took form as a slugfest in Montpelier
Lorenzo Hampton had two Home Runs, C.J. Dunn added a HR, and Mitchell Golden, making his return after a few idles nights with a shoulder injury, was 3-3, an RBI and two runs scored.
 Brandon Smith was 1-for-4 with an RBI, (setting a new team record AGAIN for RBI in a season). He now has 43, for the year and the NECBL is 45.



Keene visits Valley today at 5 p.m. Colby Dunlop is the probable starter. You can tune in on 1220 AM and FOX Sports 104.1 FM.

Weather woes

Wednesday’s weather took a toll on the NECBL schedule.  An afternoon tilt between the Valley Blue Sox and Sanford was scrapped with the idea the rain would blow away and allow us to play our scheduled regular season finale. Then, the rain blew our start from 6:30 till 8 pm. Your Swamp Bats will open the gates at 6 pm. A win for Keene means a home playoff game.   There will be no charge for Fan Appreciation night.

This was a great season. And such a young team! Many were players who just finished their first or second year of college. Kevin Watterson and Sara Pelkey did so much for the team, to put a great team together and hold great pregame and in-game activities. The volunteers, the sponsors, and a super group of interns made every Swamp Bats game an event. Adrian,Shannon, Nick, Josh, Maddie, Nick You can read of them here. Many thanks to Kevin, the Board of Directors and, Jen English. It was a great year. So much goodwill and affection and fun.

Just as we wondered if winter would never end, we worry if the rain will ever stop. Certainly, we haven’t had the danger that’s befallen Pennsylvania and Virginia but golly, Mother Nature’s thrown a monkey wrench into the NECBL schedule. Just check out the story in the Keene Sentinel. Friday’s rainout means rescheduling to Saturday night at 6:30 pm. Photo from the Sanford Mainers twitter page. As always, if you don’t make the trip, we invite you to listen with Joe Fitzhenry and Josh Caredeo on 104.1FM/1220 AM.  You can follow online and you can watch the game by clicking on the multimedia tab on NECBL.com .  Good luck, team!
