What is Sandlot?

Due to a lengthy delay, these write ups are a little on the light side. September did bring the Drag back-to-back weekends against the Tallboys and Ramblers. Below are a few words + pics.

9.21.24 – East Austin Ramblers vs. Austin Drag – Govalle – 3pm

Instagram post about the game.

Limongelli made the move to the top of the order and came through with four hits, Grady pitched well for the Ramblers, and the weather couldn’t have been a better.

All in all, an outstanding day at the ballpark.

Final score —
Ramblers = full possum
Drag = full spliff

9.14.24 – Texas Tallboys vs. Austin Drag – Govalle – 7pm

Due to a wedding (and some other obligations), the Tallboys were missing many of their primetime players. Both teams came through though and played an excellent game.
Keith went eight innings, allowing only three runs. Stillman hit a three-run dinger.
Definitely a nice night at Govalle.

Final score —
Tallboys = weddings, work, other stuff
Drag = puff puff pass
