Blue Rocks: On The Road No. 8

The final game of the road trip starts in about an hour, and it's everyone's hope that the rain is done for the day, since the later the game ends, the later the ride home can begin.

The forecast shows about a 50 percent chance of additional showers sometime tonight.

"Hopefully, we don't have any delays," said right fielder Brian McFall, who's 9-for-18 on this road trip with two doubles, three home runs and eight RBIs. "Hopefully," McFall said, "we get it in pretty quick, so we can get on the bus, go home, get a nice little win and keep climbing in the standings."

The Blue Rocks lead the Northern Division's second half standings at 20-11, with second-place Potomac three games back. A win tonight would make the Rocks 5-1 on this road trip, which would be the most wins for any road trip this season.

So far, the longest game on this trip has lasted 2 hours and 35 minutes, and the opener in Lynchburg last Friday finished up in a scant 2:01. Here's hoping the trend continues.
