BH Baseball Notes

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.

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

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.

WHISKER CITY – After 16 innings, the Wichita Somethings finally defeated the tenacious Whisker City Fighting Lionelles. After both teams battled back and forth, they went into extra innings tied at 4. In the top of the 13^th, Wichita (1-0) added three runs to make it 7-4. Whisker City (0-1), however, would not go out quietly. They tied it up quickly and sent the game to the 14^th.

In the top of the 16^th, it would be Ward Dejesus that hit the game-winner with a 380 foot shot to left field. Whisker City was getting runners in scoring position in the bottom of the inning, but failed to convert. Wichita held on for an 8-7 opening day victory.

“It was not a sprint, that’s for sure,” Rob Gregory, Wichita’s manager stated. “I’m just happy that we held on. They’re a tough team, and we were fortunate to fight them off.” The two teams will meet again on Tuesday in game two of a three game series.
