BH Baseball Notes

Scooter — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 13:36:57 +0000

Here are some random notes as the league enters Saturday, February 20, 2010:

San Antonio (10-2) finally travels outside of the division today as they head to Wichita (7-5). This match-up is the most intriguing one of the next week. The leader in the West tangles with the leader in the Central. San Antonio has seen a home game in over seven contests, but they just came off a remarkable 6-game sweep of the Hawai’i Kats in Honolulu. The Somethings will definitely have their hands full.

Tacoma (7-5) travels to Whisker City (4-8) to play the earliest game they have played all season: 12:30 EST. The Aroma have won four straight games, but it is curious to consider how the time difference will affect them. Luckily, they have Jason Salers pitching.

Montreal (7-5) should climb right back to the top of the Eastern Division with a second-helping of Charleston (3-9) coming up in the next week. Charleston sends the atrocious Hans Stolfus to the mound on Saturday. His current ERA is 15.43.

Hawai’i (5-7) will try to get back on the winning track as they travel all the way to Tennessee to play Johnson City (3-9). Hawai’i has lost seven straight games, including a six-game sweep to division-leading San Antonio.

JC Gets First Win in Seven Games

JOHNSON CITY, TN – The Johnson City Fuckhectors earned a well-needed win over the Baltimore Ninjas on Saturday afternoon. Timothy Jenson knocked in a home run and three RBIs en route to the win. Prior to the win, Johnson City (3-8) had lost six straight games. “It felt good,” manager Mike Huie said. “I only hope we can keep this thing going.”

For Baltimore (7-4), the loss may prove to be a minor drawback in a very close Eastern Division race. The Ninjas are in tight competition with Montreal and Manchester for the top spot. Baltimore will return to Johnson City on Tuesday to close out a three-game series.

Whisker City Completes Sweep of JC

Scooter — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:22:37 +0000

JOHNSON CITY, TN – Whisker City cruised past the Johnson City Fuckhectors on Tuesday with a 4-0 win. The Fighting Lionelles (4-2) were led, once again, by William Lord who smashed his third home run of the year. Clark Davis went six scoreless innings before David Foster came in and finished off Johnson City. The victory guarantees Whisker City a share of the Central Division lead depending on the outcome of the Wichita/Virginia game later today.

Johnson City (2-4) has been showing signs of trouble on offense against a stout Whisker City defense. Ron Tharpe had the only offense highlight of the game with a double off of Clark Davis. Johnson City heads to Wichita on Saturday to close out divisional play with a three-game series against the Somethings. Whisker City travels to Norfolk to face the Virginia Opossums.

Lionelles’ Early Runs Enough to Beat JC

Scooter — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 01:47:06 +0000

JOHNSON CITY, TN – Early hitting launched Whisker City to a 2-0 victory over Johnson City on Saturday night. The Lionelles (3-2) scored their only runs in the top of the first inning, but it was enough as they held on to shut out the Fuckhectors (2-3). The first run came on a Steven Nelson double to left field that drove in Freddy Mosher. The second run came on a sacrifice fly by William Lord that batted in Andrew Salazar. This game held true to the initial trends in the Central Division, where low scoring close games are prevalent. Robert McWilliams pitched eight and one-third innings for Whisker City and recorded his first win of the season.

The two teams meet again on Tuesday from the Chili’s Back Back Ribs Dome in Johnson City.

Virginia Shuts Out Johnson City

NORFOLK, VA – Johnson City accumulated seven hits but could score no runs in a 4-0 loss to Virginia on Tuesday afternoon. The Fuckhectors (1-1) left countless runners stranded inning after inning, and Virginia (1-1) scored four runs on just four hits en route to their first victory of the season. William Ecklund pitched seven innings and recorded five strikeouts. He earned his first win of the season as well.

For Johnson City, the day proved intensely frustrating. The Fuckhectors got caught in two double-plays. Alfred Thomas, their starting pitcher, only made it one-third of an inning, as the Opossums chalked up three runs early.

“It’s rare to see four runs on just four hits,” Jeff L. Horner, the Opossums’ manager stated, “but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. I wish the guys would have hit the ball better, but I can’t argue with a win.” The Virginia victory marks the first home win for any team in league history. In the opening days of play, the visiting teams went 6-0. These two teams will meet again on Saturday to wrap up their three game series.

Johnson City Holds Off Virginia

Scooter — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 23:16:58 +0000

NORFOLK, VA – After opening the game with a 3-0 lead, the Johnson City Fuckhectors had to withstand Virginia’s rally to hold on for a 5-4 victory on opening day. Johnson City (1-0) becomes the fourth straight away team to win during opening week. Home teams are current 0-4.

Virginia (0-1) struggled to find any offense for the first 5 innings. Then, they chalked up three runs to cut the Fuckhectors’ lead to 4-3. In the 7^th, Virginia tied it up at 4, but Johnson City reclaimed the lead for good with a run in the top of the 8^th.

“That’s the type of games you have to win to be good in this league,” Mike Huie, Johnson City’s manager said. “We did work. They did work. In the end, it was our work that counted.” The two teams meet again on Tuesday in Norfolk for game two of a three game series.
