Just got back home from a funeral.

My condolences.

This person who the funeral was for was the mother of a daughter who used to work with my wife. It just so happened that this person who died and my wife and I all had season tickets to baseball minor league games in Norwich when it still existed in Norwich, and we all happened to be sitting next to each other, so we got to know her pretty well during that time.

Top 5th, UConn offense goes down in order with 2 strikeouts. 2-0 UConn.

Yup, my dinner break is on.

He was safe…

And we got a double “yabo”!

Thanks DBMILL, way to leave me with the bad news 😆. Pilots have hit a 3 run homer and a 2 run homer to take a 5-2 lead. Still no outs in the 5th. Bullpen is warming.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

West gets the next 3 out. Pitch count around 91. 5-2 going into top 6.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

1-2-3 inning for UConn, still 5-2.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

West back in to start the inning. Gets 2 outs then walks the 3rd batter of the inning and his day is one.

You either eat very fast (me) or very little. That seemed quick. Was it good? Looks like my dinner will be pasta with chunks of chicken and then we use the Good Seasons mix with Balsamic vinegar as the sauce. It's pretty good when you give the dressing time to set, but not as much if you make it before chow. Today is a make it before show day. 😭

Top 7th, Menzel and Wachter lead off with singles, putting runners on the corners. Tirado follows with a single driving in a run, runners on the corners with no outs. 5-3 Portland.

Yes it was a good dinner that my wife made. It was not a big dinner, but it was certainly good. And it consisted of some pasta as well.
