For the 2nd week in a row, "rookie" Sean O'Connor pitched exceptionally well against a hard-hitting team, but this week the Old Reds came up short. Too many errors and too few Old Reds spelled doom on this day, but the boys have to be encouraged to be in the game until the end against one of the elite teams in the division. Jose Taveras showed up late, but in time to rip a single and a double. Tim Albertson did the same, and Eddie Rubiera had a RBI single in his last game before hernia surgery Tuesday. We're all thinking of you Ed, hope to see you back out and playing before too long. Next week, he'll be acting manager as the old Reds try to cling to thin playoff aspirations with a victory over the A's at Seminole High School in Sanford. Game time is 10 AM.O'Conner deserved a much better fate, but inopportune errors, and a 8 LOB was more than the good guys could overcome. This one hurt, because it felt winnable. But we shall soldier on, hoping to see a better turnout next Sunday.
