One more with feeling


Last night's Rivercats game was one of the most awesome I have seen. Four home runs - Merloni, Barton, Piedra and Putnam. Fans pumped up - loud- Aided by some plastic sausages that could be banged together and handed out to everyone who came in. At times the banging of those noisemakers was overwhelming.

The design of these were interesting - they came uninflated but when you blow them up they have a self-sealing strip inside which allows them to stay inflated. When they are banged together - each fan got two each - they make a hollow sound.

The level of emotion in the stadium was huge. Part of that came from the team - they had lost two one run games in Salt Lake. But the fans were also pumped up.

During most of the season when the Cats start off with a run run lead, as they did in the second of this game, they fall behind. The Bees came back in the third and fourth but we answered back in the bottom of the fourth. We then added runs in the fifth and sixth. Nashville also won last night playing at home. The Cats and the Sounds need to win the next two to meet each other in the PCL finals.
