Nice start!!

That's awesome!

I am cheering for him to go big time, just as I was for the Nastasi boys. Dicken may actually do it though!

That's for sure. I'm hoping for the best for this kid. I don't know Dickens personally, but from what I've gathered on this site he seems to be a class act.

Dicken gets in for the second time this year in 5-1 win. His team is BLAZING right now and something like 11-3. Anyway, on to Dicken...

He started going 2 innings allowing 3 hits and no runs. He struck out 4 batters and walked one. Dicken now has 5 IP on the year and his ERA remains at 0.00. If he keeps pitching the way he is, people will notice his K rate....

Wonder why he started then got lifted after 2 scoreless innings? I've been trying to figure out how he will be used by checking the Doubledays' website daily and just can't figure it out. Go Randy!
I was vacationing in New Jersey the last weekend of June, same days Dicken and company were visiting the NJ Cardinals and almost made an appearance at Augusta, NJ on Sat. 6/26. (His first appearance turned out to be the next day and his three inning save)
