This game is a rematch of 1st game of the year. The 1st game was a thriller as the Orioles prevailed
with some spectacular defense. What a difference a approximately 45
days can make. The Orioles being the home team would take the field
first with the bird ball slinger Jacob Grose on the hill. Jacob faced six
(6) Reds batters, walking two (2) then giving up a double into left
field, he would strike out two (2) batters and catch a pop up back
to the mound to end the inning allowing two (2) runs. The Orioles would
start off at bat with Joey Yeager lying down a beautiful bunt. The
Reds scouting department had their defense prepared and Joe was
thrown out at 1st as he was one step from being safe. With one (1)
out, Matt Bennett, Billy Rapp and Jason Bradford would all make good
contact with the ball and each would card consecutive doubles. Jacob
Grose, Logan Cole, Dustin LaVancher and Matt Moore would battle the
Reds ace and earn a free pass to the base pathways. Jacob would

2.
