Amateur Baseball Report, 1996 July 8
The Saugerties Dutchmen continued their recent woes this past
week, managing to play only one of their four scheduled games. Mother
Nature continued to harry this year's Kingston-Saugerties series, as
the annual fourth of July meeting between the Dutchmen and the
Kingston Mariners was rained out. The troubles continued on the
weekend as reported by our Hudson Valley correspondent, Babs O'Reilly:
-
On Saturday, July 6, the Saugerties Dutchmen were bernt by Mama's
Pizza with former major league pitcher, Jim Bouton pitching a complete
9 innings. The final score was an embarassing Mama's 16 Dutchmen 6.
Bouton was not untouchable, though. Brian Lindhorst hit a two run
homer off Bouton and Kiko Romaguera had a pair of hits, including a
two-run double in the bottom of the first. The Dutchmen hurt
themselves with five errors and allowing seven unearned runs. Erik
Tresvik was given the loss, sespite allowing only one earned run in
four innings.
On Sunday, July 7th a doubleheader was slated and Grand Slam USA called
at 10:30am and pulled out. They will not be invited back to Cantine
Field since this is the 3rd time in two years that they did this.
From the beautiful Hudson Valley, this is Babs O'Reilly with the
baseball report.
Weather permitting, the Dutchmen will have an active week
ahead of them, with the Schenectady Blue Jays coming to Cantine field
for a 6:00 game Tuesday, followed by the Ellenville Americans. The
Dutchmen host the Monticello Rockies on Saturday, that contest being
preceded by the annual Dutchmen alumni game. The Dutchies have next
Sunday off, but then they're back in action with a Monday twilight
game against the Hyde Park Cardinals.
