Series #2 of the Homestand

Tonight opens the second of four series on this 12-game homestand and what marvelous weather!! The Florence Freedom bring the best hitting team in the league to Wuerfel Park to tangle with the Beach Bums and the best pitching staff...Lineup for tonight is below...I go into the broadcast tonight with a heavy heart following the loss of a former friend and co-worker who lost his five-year battle with ALS this weekend...He was only 28 and is one of the youngest to have ever contracted the disease made famous by Hall of Famer Lou Gehring which ended his career...He was an inspiration until the end and lasted longer than most have from this horrible disease...
