Lowell Takes 2

Last Sunday the Lowell Base Ball Nine matched up against the Lynn Live Oaks at beautiful Spencer Peirce Little Farm.  The ballists and fans were delighted to see temperatures in the 80’s after a week of temps in the high 90’s.  The first game started off well for the Live Oaks capitalizing on several Lowell Nine errors but when nine innings were finished the score stood at 15-6.  The second game continued where the first one ended with Lowell running ahead to take a 15-4 victory.

The next game will be an open game Sunday July 28th 12pm at Spencer Peirce Little Farm.  Join members of the Essex Base Ball Organization as we open the games up and allow fans to try their hand at playing 1864 rules base ball.

Lowell and Clamdiggers Split

This past Sunday the Lowell Base Ball Nine and the Newburyport Clamdiggers squared off in two of the best EBBA games this season. Despite the brutal heat both offenses were clicking throughout the day spraying the field with hit after hit. In the first match the Lowell Nine started off with a lead but some poor defense and clutch hitting gave the Clamdiggers a 13-8 victory. The Lowell Nine could not keep Ryan West and Drew “Captain Clam” Murph off the bases helping clinch the Clamdigger victory. This was the first loss on the season for the Lowell Nine but they did not have to wait long to avenge the loss. Lowell came out swinging putting up five runs in two of the first six innings. The final score in the second game was 17-9 in favor of the Lowell Nine.

The next EBBA game will be 12pm on Sunday between the Lynn Live Oaks and Portsmouth Rockinghams at Spencer Peirce Little Farm in Newbury

Lowell Nine takes two from the Live Oaks

On Sunday the Lowell Nine matched up against the Live Oaks.  Lowell took both games winning the first game 13-0 and the second 26-0.  The Lowell Nine had solid defense throughout the day and the solid hurling of Jim “Prince” Bodwell kept the Live Oak batters off balance.
