Cool and Fun

There were a couple of different things about tonight's game with the Rivercats. First, it was still smoky but the temperature was pleasant. There was a delta breeze tonight and so that cleared at least some of the smoke from the valley fires out. Second, while we went ahead early we needed to get it back in the eighth and that came from two unexpected sources. Justin Knoedler has been struggling for most of the season but when he came up he got a solid double which also got him two RBIs. But then newcomer Eric Patterson (who had been hitless since joining the club) got a double and a RBI. That had him ending the game in his first five at bats (because of a walk) at .317. All in all it was a fun game.

The Cats now move to Salt Lake for a four game set before the all star break.
