Left St Augustine about 0830, got to Kissimmee about 1130, after a breakfast stop at Bob Evans, and arrived at Osceola County Stadium. Beautiful facility- not used for any minor leage team, just for the Astros.- It is used by an outfit called USSSA for softball.
Started off as a light crowd, then built up to a fairly nice crowd. We were in the 3rd row right behind home plate- no chance for balls, since we were enclosed in mesh.
This is Dwayne Wise, who signed with the Marlins this summer. He was a 2 sport star at Chapin High. I was able to talk with him for about 10 minutes before the game, and he was very gracious. We had a great talk about how his career is going. He got in at the 5th inning, up twice, hit the ball both times, had an RBI, and a very nice defensive catch. I hope he makes the big club. He is a total class act.
Tomorrow is Lakeland, for a Tigers/Orioles.
