We are back home in Winston-Salem after spliting our first series with Kinston 2-2. We won the first game, dropped the next 2 and the got a much needed win in game 4 to even it up.
I got to catch up a little bit with my college roomate at UCI Bryce Stowell who is a pitcher now with Kinston. It's great to see your buddies out there on this journey.
I pitched 3 innings in game 3 and had good results. I felt a little rusty from a longish layoff but I got the job done. I allowed 1 hit and no runs or walks. I could have done a better job getting ahead of hitters especailly in my first inning but I made pitches when I had to with a man on base and cruised through the next 2 innings. It was good to get out there and get some kinks out and get on track.
We had a brief practice in our new stadium for the first time today. There are some crazy angles in the outfield and there is gonna be some bizarre stuff happening out there. I must say this place is a "graveyard" meaning its tough to hit a home run there. So thats good for pitchers but it also means big gaps and anything that gets passed an outfielder in the gap is probably a triple. So we will just have to see how the field plays.
Opening night of BB&T Ballpark tommorrow. The stadium seats 5500, but I heard 6500 will be packing it in so it should be fun.
