June 28th

We are currently in the middle of a 5 game series with the Everett AquaSox, the NW League affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. If you have been following the Indians at all this year, you will know that we have been in a bit of a funk. We had 1 win in our first 8 games. The Vancouver series was tough because the 4 losses were each by 1 run. 2 of them were walk off wins for them. Coming back home for 5 we really needed to pick things up and get clicking. Game 1 we came out of the gate with 2 runs in the 1st, but then no more runs.

Finally yesterday we had a good thing going. We had a few good innings put together with a few runs. We had a HUGE defensive play by Jurickson Profar with 1 out and the bases loaded. They hit a ball up the middle and somehow Profar made a diving stop and turned a double play. It was probably one of the best plays I've seen and easily the best one this year. If you haven't heard of Profar, then you need to look him up because he is going to be in this game for a long time. Then to close it out, we had Ovispo De Los Santos come in throwing a blazing fastball. He was creeping in the upper 90s with a 96, 98, 99, 98, and then.....BOOM! 100 mph. The crowd went absolutely nuts. He ended up getting the save and we finally got to celebrate a win on our home field.

Game 3 of the series tonight. Now we need to win the series.
