Today, your Bleacher Denizen is in Portland covering the baseball doubleheader between St. Patrick’s Shamrocks and the Ramblers of Perry. I also covered the first game of the doubleheader. Here is the play by play of that game. https://thebleacherdenizen.com/2026/04/21/perry-at-portland-st-patrick-first-game-of-baseball-doubleheader-the-bleacher-denizen-april-20-2026-by-chuck-krafft/
While we wait for the second game to begin, I hope you will enjoy this blues standard, “Bring It On Home To Me” from my You Tube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flgzousiL9g
It usually does not take much to confuse the Bleacher Denizen, but even though we are in Portland on the St. Patrick baseball field, St. Patrick will be the visiting team and bat first. Perry will be the home team and bat last. Somehow, everyone here except the Bleacher Denizen’s gets this mind-boggling situation, but I guess I need to go along and try to understand the best I can.
Here are the starting lineups. Charlie Thelen, who is an All-State player who has been recovering from a severe ankle injury will play catcher for the first time this season!
