We're back. After the Blue Rocks rallied for an 8-4 win in 10 innings Wednesday night, the bus didn't pull out of Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium until 11:30 p.m. We just pulled into Frawley about 15 minutes ago, or shortly after 5:15 a.m.
Some players went right to sleep, while others made phone calls or played cards, even as far north as Baltimore, until just about everyone caught ZZZs the rest of the way.
When manager John Mizerock told the players they didn't have to report to Frawley until 5:30 p.m. again tonight, pitcher Yovany D'Amico, my seatmate for the trip home, quietly said "thank you."
The bus has pulled away now, ready to take its rest before the team needs it again for a road trip in the near future. But the Blue Rocks are back home... and they're playing their best ball of the season.
