I am here live in Holyoke MA for the Team USA vs Holyoke Blue Sox game. The game is set to start at 6:30pm. The Holyoke Blue Sox are members of the NECBL. Team USA defeated the NECBL All-Stars yesterday by a score of 4-1 up in Manchester NH.

We are awaiting the starting lineups and who is pitching for each team.

5:56	Feel free to leave questions or comments and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

6:00	[Comment From gobluesox ] Wow that's pretty sweet! I'm a Western Mass. native here, didn't know you came out this way.

6:01	I am here more to see Team USA. Anything I see in the NECBL is a bonus. Thanks for coming by.

6:03	I have also attended games at UMass on occasion so I am all over the place.

6:04	[Comment From gobluesox ] No problem, I actually found out through your Facebook fan page. I think it's cooler that Team USA is out here playing the Blue Sox.

6:04	Never a problem....Feel free to send any other fans over to the site.

6:04	[Comment From gobluesox ] Oh ok so across the state really, Boston isn't too far away anyways from here

6:05	I was up in Manchester yesterday for the NECBL All-stars against Team USA. What a great ballpark up there in New Hampshire. One of my favorites in the area. Is it Rosenblatt? Nope but it is nice.

6:32	We are nearly set for first pitch....National Anthem getting sung now...

6:32	The PA is WAY too loud up here...I think my right ear is going to be deaf by the end of tonight. It is about 95 degrees in the press box too. The temperature on my car was only 84 when I drove out here.

6:34	[Comment From gobluesox ] That's cool I personally wouldn't know because I've never been up there, besides Fenway of course only main ones I've been to are McCoy, MacKenzie, and where the New Britain Rock Cats play

6:34	I have been to all of them too.

6:41	We just had a delay of about 10 minutes here because the umpires were not here yet.

6:45	Holt flies out to center field on the first pitch. Kolten Wong grabs the first hit throught right side. Good piece of hitting by Wong.

6:46	Christian Colon reaches on a fielders choice to third base. Second straight day that I haven't seen Colon hitting like he did in Omaha

6:49	Blake Forsythe picks up a walk. Colon and Forsythe run a double steal to move up to second and third.

6:50	Christian Colon makes the pitcher balk allowing him to score from third to put up Team USA 1-0. Forsythe would come home on a Bryce Brentz gapper to right center field to drive in the run from third.
