HARRISBURG, Pa. - Batting practice had just ended but the first pitch was still nearly three hours away as Cole Freeman, 26, leaned on the railing down the first-base line at FNB Field on City Island here Friday afternoon.
“A lot of us are eager to see our families,” admitted Freeman, in a year the minor-league season started and ends later than in the recent past.
The Double-A Harrisburg Senators will end the home portion of a long season on Sunday against Bowie, then end up the year next week on the road at New Hampshire.
