There comes a point where you start to wonder why anyone would throw out a first pitch? When it goes well you never hear about it BUT if you bounce, sail or miss the catcher all together it lives on forever. The latest celebrity to blow the first pitch is NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton. Walton is one of Goz's heroes so when Goz gets his second chance to throw out a first pitch will he do better than his hero?
On Saturday night, Tri-City walked off with a 6-5 victory in 11 innings against the Vermont Lake Monsters for the Cats' third straight win and first series win of the season.
One of the best things a baseball fan in the Capital Region can do is enjoy "A night at the Joe!" Joseph L. Bruno Stadium, the home of the Tri City Valley Cats is not only fun but so much easier on your wallet then a trip to Yankee Stadium or Citi Field. Not only are the Valley Cats almost always in the hunt to win the New York-Penn League but their Promotional Calendar gives you MANY chances to make memories and maybe bring home a cool souvenir.
The Cats have now won their last three-out-of-four games after starting the season 1-2 and have moved into second place in the New York Penn League Stedler Division. So far this season Tri-City has averaged over seven runs per game and Thursday night was no exception.
