T3
sorry wireless dropped again
first batter walked
Felix Cruz, on 2
Barbosa, walk
pitching conference
Juan Policchilo in to pitch
lots of drama, not sure what the discussion/s are but both managers taking turns having in depth discussions with the blue
A DIP and the runner comes in and the manager comes back to complain.
home plate ump called both DIP's so maybe that was the disscussion, it was not over dinner plans after all
wild pitch but Juan is right on it covering the plate and runner holds at 3b
11, Jose Ponce goes down swinging
5:25pm
2 runs on no hits, no errors, 2 lob

B3 - at this pace we will be here all night

3, Coccia, with a man on 2b, oh oh, another DIP and all h breaks loose. Half the PR team is at the mound screaming at the 4 blue, It was the 1b ump who called this one.
Coccia, walks so now men on the corners, no one out
lead off batter, 41, Fernando Petric - and another conference at the mound - oh now we have a run down, first to 2nd, and he is safe on 2b but runner out at home. nice play by PR
changes coming up from Argentina
18 to bat, Jose Pintos, deep to cf, caught, runners hold at 1 and 3
12, Julio Gamarci, and yet antoher major meeting on the mound, the blue talks to the PR manager, he holds up two fingers. then the Argentinian manager comes out and shows 3 fingers, which I think is correct,there were at least three conferences.
Gamarci slams one to lf and a nice catch on the run, he is out
no runs no hits no errors
4-4 time

T4 and this game is going to go a long time at this pace
17, Jorge Arknzamendi, and what now, the PR manager is back to talk to the home plate blue, pointing to pitcher, and now the Argentenian manager joins the party, now we have all the blue over.
