| There's a lot of foul territory here. |

| The Park Memorial Field is a quaint ballpark without a team. Set in a park complex, it was most recently home to the Lehigh Valley Black Diamonds of the independent Atlantic League. Now known as the Pennsylvania Road Warriors, the team does not have a home field. Construction began, then halted, on a new ballpark in Easton, PA, overlooking Interstate 78. Stay tuned. Seating in Memorial Field is limited to a wood grandstand, the entrance to which offers a view up the middle from home to centerfield. There is no shortage of foul territory behind home and down the lines. It�s a nice little ballpark, in a nice suburban setting. |
| That Day On July 14, 2002, I saw an Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League (an NCAA sanctioned summer league) contest between the Quakertown Blazers and the Delaware Valley Gulls. The home team won, 5-0, pounding 9 hits off Gulls starter Ben Krantz, who gave up 4 runs, only one of which was earned. With 2 out in the 5th, Mark Reichley reached on an error, John Stezenko singled, Carl Loedenthal tripled, then scored on a wild pitch. In the 7th, Stenzenko singled, went to third on a Loedenthal single, then scored on another wild pitch by Krantz. The Blazers added a run in the 8th on a homer by Kyle Jones. |
