Sunday’s Falcons vs Pirates NBL game has been moved to August

It has been confirmed that this Sunday’s National Baseball League game between the Herts Falcons and the South London Pirates has been moved to Sunday, 11 August. The venue, Roundshaw Park in Croydon, remains unchanged.

While the Falcons and the Pirates rest this weekend, 6 other teams are in action.  The London Mets travel to the Lakenheath Diamondbacks. If they win both games they would be tied at the top with the Falcons.  Southampton also have a chance to go neck and neck with Herts if they sweep against the Harlow Nationals in their doubleheader.  That will not be easy as the Nationals appear to have regained the form which saw them win the NBL championship in the last two seasons.

American reinforcements lead Blackjacks to a nail-biting win over the Eagles

BBF A-League, Herts Eagles 7 Haverhill Blackjacks 8

report by Duncan Hoyle

 

Herts Eagles made the long trip over into Suffolk to take part in the first meeting between a Herts team and the newly fromed Haverhill Blackjacks.

After losing their first two games of the season, Haverhill had stormed back into play off contention by winning 3 games in a row in impressive fashion to sit top of pool B, and despite showing substantial improvement themselves since the seasons start the Eagles knew they would be in for a tough afternoon.

Haverhill have signed some impressive players from the nearby US Air bases, and it was American Jerred Estenson on the mound for the home team, up against the returning Tony McDowell for the Eagles.

And as the game developed, defence and pitching dominated. Estenson was as quick as anything your likely to see at single A, with the Eagles struggling to hit his rapid fastballs. However he didnt always have the best control, Michael Cresswell had a painful introduction to the game taking a fastball straight onto his arm, and Estenson also issued several walks, meaning the Eagles were able to get onto base.

However the problem the Eagles then faced was trying to steal. Usually a gimme stealing 1st to 2nd at single A, it became obvious after Cresswell was caught stealing by what seemed an eternity on the arm of catcher Matt Schellhaas that this wouldnt be an option. Schellhaas’s arm would seem more at home in the National League rather than single A and after a quick first inning the Eagles had to regroup.

With the impressive Tony McDowell on the mound, the Eagles were able to put the Blackjacks batters under pressure, and despite conceding 3 in the first inning, they werent allowed to get away. The score was 8 – 3 to the Blackjacks at the end of the 4th. Rory Hutchinson and new boy Charlie Day both managing to take impressive confidence boosting hits of Estenson to begin the Eagles fightback

The Eagles kept on chipping away at the lead. 3 runs were scored in the 6th to narrow the lead to 2 and with Estenson having now left the action it was Ryan Pflugh who came into relief for the Blackjacks. Despite being no where near as fast as Estenson, the Eagles found Pflugh just as troublesome to hit with a wicked deceptive change up that caused no end of problems. Manager Duncan Hoyle managed to get a hit and got into score his 3rd run of the day in the 7th to narrow the lead to one, and with McDowell’s combination of fast and curve balls now well on top of the Blackjacks batters the game was all to play for.

Unfortunatly for the Eagles that was to be the end of the days scoring. Getting batters on base was hard in the remaining innings and despite Cresswell managing to get round to 2nd in top of the 9th the Eagles couldnt get him in to score. Pflugh kept his cool to close the game for the Blackjacks to ensure their 4th successive win in what was a uncharacteristically short Single A game which lasted just over 2 and a quater hours.

80 Miles and 8 weeks make little difference in Raptors v 2Sox fixture

written by Ken Pike

Herts hosted Leicester 2Sox at Grovehill to mark the half way point of the season in a rematch of the opening day game which saw the Raptors walk away with a cricket score win on the longest road trip to start the season. With the home side having seen strong early results undone by a pair of embarrassing defeats, coach Arnie Longboy was not about to let his team take things easy. He insisted on the same clinical professionalism that had dispatched the powerful Marauders and solid Redbacks III in the last two games to bring the season back on track powering the young side to the top of the standings. Furthermore, while the 2Sox had been an easy win the last time round, they had also proven capable of upsets beating the Blackjacks and taking several other games to the wire.

Nerves were settled quickly though when the first inning went strongly in the home team’s favour as they demonstrated a solid defence while new pitcher Matt Kiddie’s powerful arm took some time to knock off layer of rust developed from four years away from the game. Despite walking several players, only 1 scored before the offense got to flex the muscles that have produced the most runs of any team in the single A. They started up where they had left off six games earlier and drove in 10 runners, drawing out an early lead that would never be threatened.

The second innings went briefly in Leicester’s favour as they pulled back two and briefly held the Raptors in check before normal service resumed. On the mound the Raptors starter got his groove back and started to overpower the Leicester side allowing no runs in the next two innings while the home side continued to punish the visitors with 13 Raptors making it round the bags to draw out a 20 run lead.

Having seen well over 100 pitches in his first game back Kiddie conceded another 2 runs in the fifth before giving way to young reliever Charlie Mayhew in the sixth. Having pitched for the youth teams the day before Charlie’s slower delivery proved little more fruitful for the away teams offense who only managed another 2 runs in the sixth, but the end result was still not in doubt as the Raptors had 33 points on the board by the end of the inning. Closer Sony Lama’s first appearance in a competitive game came with a comfortable margin of 15 runs before the mercy rule was even overcome. Despite some wild pitches for the rookie pitcher, and a solitary homerun giving minimal solace to Leicester, the rest of the team did their part with a solid defensive display and the pitcher helped himself by snagging a line drive straight at his face and fielding it to take out a runner. While 3 runs scored the damage was nowhere near sufficient and the mercy rule closed out a short but sweet 3.5 hour game to a decisive close.

“I insist that the guys bring their A game to every inning in every game, and I am proud that they showed real professionalism out there today playing with clinical precision,” said coach Arnie Longboy who made the game winning out with a short throw from second to first. “We keep generating runs thanks mostly to speed and great base running, but as the saying goes ‘defence wins championships.’ That was demonstrated when we lost to the Eagles and Coyotes despite scoring heavily, but now that our young stars are coming to the end of exams our pitching rotation should be complete again which will be a big boost. The big boost today was bringing three new players to the mound for the very first time. We also seem to have cut out most of the errors that troubled us earlier this season and adding that improved defensive aspect to our awesome batting and another 20 stolen bases means we are definitely progressing in the right direction.”

The final result of 10-33 in favour of the Herts Raptors keeps them in joint first with the Coyotes in Pool A, an ominous position considering they achieved that largely in the absence of clear starting pitchers who return to the side over the next few weeks as GCSEs end. Across the league they are also matched by London Marauders in Pool C, and potentially the Blackjacks in Pool B if they win their game in hand. The Raptors team face their sister team the Eagles next where they will look to avenge the loss earlier this year before they host the Blackjacks (June 23) and Coyotes (July 7) in quick succession. Those three games could be decisive in determining the look of the playoffs, with the remaining opposition’s records at a combined 10 wins to 11 losses at the midway point.

VIDEO: Discovering baseball history

Following up on the announcement made by the BBC yesterday of the significant revelation about the history and origins of baseball, more information is coming out on how exactly the discovery was made.

The person who made it was the American researcher and author David Block with the help of Surrey County Council’s Julian Pooley.  To find out how they pinpointed the location of the royal baseball game, watch the video below. Many thanks to Surrey County Council for permitting us to embed this video.

The 1749 baseball season with the Prince of Wales up to bat and the Earl of Middlesex on deck

This morning the BBC alerted the world of a significant discovery about the history and origins of baseball.

The British public are under the impression that baseball is an American game and was invented by Americans, but they are wrong. Today it was revealed that the earliest record of the game of baseball dates back to 1749. It was found in the Whitehall Evening Post and refers to a game of “base-ball” played in Surrey. Even more astonishing is the fact that the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Middlesex played in that game on what is now Ashley Park, Walton-on-Thames.

The Whitehall Evening Post item reads: “On Tuesday last, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and Lord Middlesex, played at Base-Ball, at Walton in Surry; notwithstanding the weather was extreme bad, they continued playing several hours.”

The Americans have certainly embraced this British game and consider it their own. We are seeing very positive signs over the last few years that the British public is beginning to embrace the sport of baseball too. Yes, that most British of games, baseball, is coming home!

There are baseball diamonds and clubs popping up in every corner of the United Kingdom and the opportunity is there for anyone, boys and girls, men and women, of any age or ability to get in the game as players, coaches, scorers, umpires and fans. For more details of how to get into baseball with Herts Baseball Club contact us or contact the British Baseball Federation to find your nearest baseball club.

Ravens prevail in a fiery encounter

Liam Green had to perform under pressure in extra innings and he didn't disappoint (photo by Will Baxter)

The Herts Ravens have had a difficult time so far in their debut season in the AAA-League, but this weekend they secured two morale-boosting wins against the Leones de Feltham to put their season back on track. There was danger that the final innings of a thrilling second game in this doubleheader would be overshadowed by non-baseball events, but now that the dust has settled everyone who was at the game will begin to appreciate the exciting game which they witnessed.

AAA League (Game 1): Herts Ravens 16 Leones de Feltham 4 (click to view box scores)

The Ravens welcomed back starting pitcher, Petar Kikel, for his first league appearance of 2013. This was exactly the boost they needed. He gave the team 6 impressive innings allowing only 1 earned run on 4 hits and striking out 5. The team had put the nightmare 3-for-41 batting performance 7 days earlier at Finsbury Park behind them and produced 10 hits which included at least 1 hit from each of the batting spots from 1 to 9. Ben Marques also managed to steal home, although it wasn’t clear whether this play was put on by manager, Carlos Casal, and whether his team mate who was up at bat knew about it. The Leones didn’t help themselves walking 11 batters and this deadly combination of hits and walks produced 16 runs and a final score of 16-4 in 6 innings.

AAA League (Game 2): Herts Ravens 10 Leones de Feltham 9 (F/8) (click to view box scores)

The second game proved to be a much closer encounter. Tom Everex-Armstrong had an effective performance on the mound. He was relieved by Matt Spaulding who played his first game of the 2013 season did not allow any earned runs, striking out 5 over 3 2/3 innings.

The Ravens had a big third inning putting 5 runs on the scoreboard with a big hit from Gilberto Medina (2-2), and a 1-run double by Petar Kikel. Jon Lewys also had a good day batting 4-for-8 over the two games. Feltham responded with 4 runs in the bottom of the inning to tie the game and then scored 2 more in the fourth to take an 8-6 lead.

The Ravens found it much more difficult to connect solidly against Feltham’s pitcher, Jeffry, in this game. He was mixing his curveball well with a good fastball, but the biggest hurdle which batters from both teams had to battle with all day was the inconsistent strike zone. Pitches at eye level were called strikes and at times batters felt helpless. The frustration was growing on both sides. The umpire didn’t help himself by allowing players to question decision of strikes and balls, safe or out, foul or fair, balk or no balk. Sometimes these discussions between players, managers and umpire involved 10 or more people and resembled a session to approve a United Nations resolution. A doubleheader would usually end at around 5pm. On this occasion the time was 7pm and the game was reaching an exciting climax.

The Ravens pulled one run back in the sixth but were facing defeat trailing 8-7 in the final inning. A lead-off single by Mike Cattermole was exactly what they needed. He moved to second after the next batter was walked and managed to get to third on a wild pitch. Up stepped player-manager, Carlos Casal, to pinch-hit carrying a knee injury. He grounded into a fielder’s choice but crucially brought Cattermole home to tie the game. Despite his injury Casal’s enthusiasm on the base paths could not be contained. He stole second base and then limped another 90 feet to advance to third (with 1 out) on the overthrow, visibly in pain willing to wreck his knee ligaments for the cause. Ultimately he was stranded on third base as the next two batters struck out after some very controversial umpiring calls.

Herts brought Liam Green to pitch in the bottom of the inning with the game on the line and no room for error. The leadoff batter for Feltham, Miguel, appeared to lose his cool on a slightly wild pitch from Liam Green and he stepped towards the mound accusing the pitcher of throwing to hit the batter intentionally. During that exchange there was fear that the game will not be able to restart as the tension had risen considerably. It took several minutes for the situation to calm down. The game resumed and Green managed to strike out the batter and calmly went on to induce two more quick outs and take the game into extra innings.

In the top of the eighth inning the Ravens somehow managed to manufacture two runs on two walks and two errors, without a hit. Leones responded in the bottom of the inning scoring a run and putting the tying run on second base but Liam kept his composure to secure the game, helped along the way by Jake Caress who made a spectacular diving catch in centerfield with the game on the line.

Despite the unpleasant incident in the final inning, the two teams shook hands at the end of the game and showed a great deal of appreciation and respect towards each other wanting to put the confrontation behind after what was a very exciting game of baseball.
