Bradenton, Fla. — The Birds of Baltimore, they are orioles just for the proverbial record, won a slow pitch like softball affair 10-9 and our award-winning photographer Eddie Michels was there.

This was not a pitcher’s paradise as Bucs starter Jose Quintana was torched for six runs on six hits in the six outs he was able to get. The Orioles scored four in the first and two in the second off a two-run blast by the O’s right fielder Kyle Stowers. The next six Pirates hurlers scattered seven hits to build on the spring thing excitement because Orioles starter John Means gave up five hits in 2 1/3 innings.

The teams combined for 19 runs and 28 hits which really made this practice game exciting. What is really exciting is that the regular season is starting on time, and Bucco fans our Eddie Michels thinks your team is really good!
