2011 GAMEDAY NEWS AND NOTES Heading North: This evening, the CrackerJacks make the 90-
mile trip north to Marinelli Field to face the Rockford Foresters for the first of 13 meetings in 2011. Will County comes in with a 2-0 overall record (1-0 in the MCL), while Rockford stands at 3-2. This is also the CrackerJacks’ first ever appearance at Rockford’s Marinelli Field; Will County and Rockford will play eight times at the 2,300-seat stadium this year.
Yesterday vs. Chicago Bandits: In yesterday’s “Battle of the
Sexes” at Rosemont Stadium, the ‘Jacks dropped a 6-2 decision to Chicago’s professional softball team. Although they cut the Bandits’ lead to one heading into the fifth inning, the ‘Jacks could not get over the hump. Bandits pitchers struck out 17 CrackerJacks in the ballgame.
League Update: After Saturday’s win over the Elgin Aces in a
non-league game, the CrackerJacks return to MCL play tonight. They beat the Chicago Zephyrs in their franchise opener on June 3 in Sugar Grove 12-6. Meanwhile, all five of Rockford’s games have been league games. They have dropped two of those five contests, splitting a season-opening doubleheader with the Southland Vikings on June 3 and losing a 10-2 ballgame to the Zephyrs on June 5. The Foresters beat the Zephyrs yesterday (June 7) 3-0. They were led by pitcher Ziggie Vanderwall, who struck out 10 batters over five innings.
Looking Ahead: Tonight is the first of 15 straight MCL games
for the CrackerJacks, which will not play a non-league game until they play host to the Des Plaines Patriots on June 21. Including the exhibition game against the Bandits yesterday, Will County is in the midst of 18 consecutive ballgames.
