Catching up with the Wranglers

As the post on the "All Things Valley League" blog begins, "This Valley League season, which seemed to just have started a few days ago, has all too quickly come to an end." 

It's only been a few weeks since I was lamenting not being able to get out for a game, in fact, and now here's the news that Luray went on to win the league championship!

In fact, Mary and I, and our friends Kathy and Brendon, were able to catch a double header on the final weekend of the season - against the Woodstock River Raiders.  Luray took both games, 5-3 and 15-2, setting themselves up for a fine playoff season.



For us, we had a nice time at the games, sitting down the left field line in folding chairs this time - C and B came straight to the game from DC, and had their dog Howser with them, so we stayed farther back.  Still, the pup attracted a lot of attention from other fans all his own.

These VBL games are quality entertainment.  There's just nothing like it, sitting out there enjoying some baseball on a hot summer night as the cooling breezes start to kick-up.

Here's a link to the story on the final playoff game of the season.  For baseball fans, there are some links on the All Things Valley League site to other summer league blogs and articles - including the Cape Cod league.
