Armada Clubhouse Ransacked
The Outlaws held on to win what was a game wicked from so many angles. The pitching was less than spectacular as both teams combined for 32 hits and 17 walks. The Evans saga was jagged, too, because, on one hand, a fan had to be that stupid to go over to where he's not welcome to stir up something totally avoidable and, on the other side of the coin, Evans made such an issue of it during game action that it further riled up a boisterous crowd not cut off from alcohol sales until the seventh inning was mercifully halfway done around 10:30.
But what might end up really tarnishing what — let's not lose sight of it — was a thoroughly solid win for the Outlaws are the reports that came over the Enterprise-Record police scanner that several items were stolen by thieves ransacking the Long Beach clubhouse (an iPod, in one instance) during their loss. I was not made aware of these reports until returning to the office after the game, so obviously more follow-up should be available tomorrow.
