GAME DAY: Holy crap, sunlight!

Rogues @ Mr. Electric
Sunday, May 31, 2009
5:00pm @ Queensway Diamond

Well, for the first time this season, the Rogues will play a game in the sun! Our previous 5 games have all been 9:00 pm starts, and our 7pm start last Thursday was rained out. Will be an interesting transition. It's also our first game away from the Blackburn Arena this season, as we play our first of 3 at the Queensway Diamond, located near the telesat building off Blair, across the highway from the Gloucester Centre.

But it's not completely unfamiliar territory tonight. We held our only practice at this diamond, and our opponents tonight are Mr. Electric (formerly The Blues, formerly Satlink) who will be out for blood after our upset win to start the year. Rogues fans will remeber this game as one where we trailed 3-2 after 6, got down 8-2 at the top of the 7th, and came backto win 9-8 in a stunning 7-run 7th. Don't expect the Electrics to take this game lightly.

Tonight should also be an interesting match-up, as no less than 12 Rogues are expected to make an appearance. Only Chris Fauteux, who's out of town, will be absent. With 4 pitchers, it should definitely be an interesting game. Look for the Rogues to put on a good performance at the plate after only scoring 1 run last time, and keeping our heads above water in the standings by adding a 4th win.

Look for a summary tonight or tomorrow morning.
