Orators drop 2 in New London, but get fed KFC

6/13/2009
Bridgeport Orators at New London
--------
GAME 1, LOST
GAME 2, LOST

The good news is those Thames Nine are fine gentleman and their field at a historical fort on the water is quite scenic. They even fed their rival Bridgeport Boys with some vintage KFC. Well, that's all of the good news...

The Orators were thoroughly spanked in back-to-back games. Some sloppy play from the O's and hot Thames Nine bats put any hopes of a "W" to vintage sleep.

O's drop two in Rhode Island

6/6/2009
Bridgeport Orators at Providence
--------
GAME 1, LOST
GAME 2, LOST (results currently unavailable)

The Orators took a trip out to Rhode Island and fell short in two games against Providence - one a 1860's rules game, another a 1880's rules. The away sweep puts an immediate damper on the improved record of this year's Orators but the team is hoping to bounce right back this week when they travel to New London to challenge the Thames Nine.

Orators bring the brooms against Hartford

5/17.09
Bridgeport Orators vs. Hartford Dark Blues
--------
GAME 1, WON: 15-8 (unofficial)
GAME 2, WON: 17-10

It took 'em two seasons and some change, but the Boys from Bridgeport swept a doubleheader for the first time in their existence. The sweep brings the Orators back to .500 in the year. In another first, this is the latest in the season that the Park City Nine were at .500. Can this be a sign that things are turning around for the club?
