Send the runner to second: Kevin Larizza balked the pitch for the start of the first official night of the Chippewa Monday Scratch League yesterday.

So Kevin has a justifiable reason for his balk, but the runners still move ahead.

Now the league is scheduled to officially begin this coming Monday, May 9th. (And the $50 Big Skins game will continue play every Monday at 11:30 a.m. as well.)
