I love doubleheaders. Always have since I was a kid. And I'm not talking about those fake "split" doubleheaders where they clear the place out between games. I mean real honest to goodness two for the price of one doubleheaders. I try and go to every one I possibly can...

I didn't take as many pictures during the second game as I did the first, but I did get some. Let's start with this one.

With the injuries right now on this team, it seems that Tommy Hunter isn't going anywhere anytime soon. And on Friday, he sure looked like a guy that could make a case to stay in the rotation this year even when the pitching staff is healthy.
