Diamond Talk

Good night on the diamond for our two favorite baseball teams here on Big Blue Booyah.

The Bat Cats ended a seven game skid tonight with a win over the hated Dirty Birds of Louisville. Eric Lindsey at Cat Scratches has the recap and did a live blog for the game. The Cats let a 4-1 lead move to a 6-4 deficit before coming back late. Big ups to the Bat Cats.

And the Northern Kentucky Reds won their third straight game tonight with a dominant performance in Milwaukee. Ya Boyo Arroyo went 6+ innings with only 4 hits and 1 run and Jerry Hairston Jr. scored 3 runs along with a 2-run homer to win going away 6-1. Joey Votto continued his torrid start going 2-5 with 2 RBIs. Off-season pickup Willy Taveras stayed hot going 1-3 with 2 walks, 2 SBs, and great defense to guarantee the Red Legs a series win in their first road trip.

Don't know how often I'll be able to brag about the Bat Cats and Red Legs, so I'm getting it in while I can.
