Nice game today between KY Colonels vs Bluegrass Buzz. Buzz jumped out to early 3-0 lead but Colonels came back to win 8-4. Couple of errors by Buzz opened the door and big 3 run HR by E.J. Murray helped to get Colonels going.

 

There were also 4 great defensive plays in this game (2 each by the same player from the Colonels and Buzz). Murray made 2 great diving catches at 3rd base for Colonels and 2 great catches by Buzz CF Dustin Barker. Barker dove in the LCF Gap to rob David Etscheid of a game lead-off hit and made another great over the shoulder catch in RCF by the 390 Ft Sign to rob the Colonels RF of a triple. The kid plays a great CF.

 

Congrats to Colonels on a nice win. I know they've struggled some here in the beginning of the summer season but have a very strong team an will do very well. Buzz are going to surprise some teams (good mixture of 17 & 18 year olds).

Isn't Barker the kid that made the catch into the wall at CCH against BW in the districts?

Who are these teams and what league are they playing in? What is the significance?

The Colonels are arguably composed of the most talented players there is to offer in Northern Kentucky...

Just got back from an enjoyable evening out with "The Boss" and friends after the game. I will have the stats and comments about the game tomorrow.
