Tonight's game is against the NEW Saxton's River Pirates. The CRVBL has had a SR Pirates team since the beginning (now named the Chester Pirates) and most of those guys had played for the original Saxton's River Pirates that played for years in the old Northern League and then played in various collegiate type leagues for a number of years.
Tonight's team is new this season but is organized by Dave Moore who ran the original Saxton's River Pirates. He has reclaimed the name which is only fair since they are based in Saxton's River. I'm told tonight's starting pitcher for the Pirates will be Dave Brown who is 42 now but when he was younger played for the original SR Pirates, was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles and played a season for Erie in the New York Penn League. Supposedly he throws really hard. I'll be optimistic and point out that since he only played one season for Erie he must be beatable. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
OK. Here's the deal. I just googled Dave Brown and found his stats for the 1989 Erie Orioles.
0-3 21.2IP 8.31ERA 25H 31BB 21K 11WP
It looks like he throws hard but is wild. It could be an interesting game.
