Rigger "Joe" Mortis, Match Reporter

Following a day off Friday to travel to Columbus and attend the Columbus Clippers/Toledo Mud Hens game (Hens won) the Old-All-Stars headed to the Ohio Historical Society Ohio Cup Tournament for three matches. The matches were held at three different fields during the day. The first match pitted the Stars against the St. Louis Perfectos where Rigger Mortis' bat finally warmed up striking two hits at two at bats. This was not enough to carry the Territorials and the final tally resulted in a victory for the Perfectos (6 to 2).In the second contest the Olde-Stars were no match for the club from Porkopolis, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, as the Territorials were Chicagoed 8 to 0. The third match showed a much better final tally even though the Stars came up short against St. Croix of Minnesota, 5 to 3. Still, a wonderful time is being had by all ballists and cranks at the Ohio Cup and we look forward to more activity at the striker's line and in the field on Sunday.
