"(Pawtucket, RI) - The PawSox rode the right arms of Bartolo Colon, Craig Hansen, Dan Kolb and Lee Gronkiewicz to a 3-0 win on opening night at McCoy Stadium. Colon tossed 5 shutout innings, striking out five and allowing one base hit. The single by Adam Boeve was the only Indianapolis hit of the night. Colon looked sharp, with good command of his pitches. The burly righty touched 96 miles an hour on the radar gun. Hansen, Kolb and Gronkiewicz shut down the Indy offense the rest of the way. The PawSox scored all their runs in the third inning as Jonathan Van Every lined a homerun into the home bullpen to make it 2-0. Brandon Moss added an RBI double to cap the scoring. Joe Thurston had a pair of hits for Pawtucket in the win. Chris Carter and Jeff Bailey had the other Pawtucket safeties. The series continues on Friday night at 7:05 p.m. David Pauley faces Indy's Ty Taubenheim."
We were lucky enough to get the tickets from my policeman type brother-in-law. It being Police and Fire Appreciation night. (I noticed the cute cops and fire guys strewn throughout the stands. Plus you can always tell where the red and blue are by how loud and drunk they are, lmao. doh, I'm in trouble now!) It was a "Family Thing" though a few couldn't make it due to work, and we had to leave by 8:45p due to work. IT WAS FREEZING! It was FUN! I had tears in my eyes in the opening ceremonies. Yes, I am a sap. They had like 10 different police and fire color guards, a bagpipe band (of course!) Once they struck up Amazing Grace, I was done for. Plus they honored fallen RI military personnel and fallen police and fire brethren. Took all I had not to bawl! They had cannons firing and two Black Hawk helicopters do a flyover. Such tradition! Honor, Baseball and Bagpipes! These guys are trying for the Major's or had a taste of the Majors. They really play hard and play well. I think a lot of Major League players should get rotated out once in a while. Show 'em what's what! Bring them back to their roots!
