HALFWAY POINT...
The halfway point of the season is upon us already. It feels like the season started yesterday.
Bro's has been on a rocky road so far this season losing more games than the past 3 seasons combined just about.
There has been positives and the second half is looking promising. The bats seem to be warming up though and the pitching is solid. Especially from the younger wings in the bullpen holding teams at bay to get us back at the plate.
Things are surely going to heat up and the Bro's you all know and love will be ready for playoff and regional action.
The week of the 10th Bro's is off to Albany NY for a weekend tournament. Hopefully the R&R from league play and the different competition jump starts our 2nd half.
Stay tuned for an interesting 2nd half!
Opening Week
Rust, barnacles, dust, whatever you want to call it, were all present in the first 2 games of the BOP season.
A rocky first game ending in a 4-2 loss to the Old Mountain Turks was an obvious dissapointment. Bro's was held to 3 hits the entire game and allowed 2 earned runs on 7 lousy noodles.
The second game of the week against the Seawolves was a wet one, dealing with the mist, base on balls, lengthy innings, unintentional target practice, errant throws all over the diamond and not so warm weather automatically achieved barn burner status. However the bats came alive and achieved a triple double. 12 hits, 12 runs, 12k's. Defense had a tough time with the wet grass though and balls were not necessarily dry for the pitchers. Despite allowing 10 runs in this debacle Bro's walked away with a victory 12-10 splitting the first week.
Back on the diamond next week. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Bros closer Eric Gelsomino slammed the door in the 9th by striking out the side.
Game 2 feature a scoreless match-up better Eric Koutros and Ryan Lussier for 4 innings, before Koutros' former Eastern Connecticut teamate Adam Hevenor plated a pair of Bros runners with a 5th inning double.
