Drillers 4, Tweeners 1

CM games at the Hoover Dome. 
Tweeners settling into the groove we expected, jockeying for draft position.  #tweenersin16
6/12 – Tweeners 3, Drillers 1.  12 inning affair ends on a walk-off homer by Cliff Pennington, much to the embarrassment of Joe Beimel.  Dr. Quackenabush gets credit for the victory.
6/13 – Drillers 6, Tweeners 2.  Luke Gregerson had a strong outing as the SHAWN DRILLERS bested the NORM
TWEENERS 6 to 2 at The Hoover Dome.
 
Scott Kazmir(3-1) contributed a pedestrian performance to earn the win.  He
went 5 and 2/3 innings allowing 5 hits and 1 walk and was touched for 2
homeruns.  Overall SHAWN out-hit NORM 14 to 5. 
 
Gregerson preserved the game for Kazmir, recording his his 1st save.  The
losing pitcher was Madison Bumgarner(10-10).  He gave up 11 hits and no walks
in 6 and 1/3 innings. 
 
'Ahhh, that victory was surely needed.  Man alive, things were getting awfully
grim,' noted SHAWN's manager.  'Now, we need to string a bunch of wins
together and turn things around!'  Turns out he’s a fucking prophet.
 
8/19 – Drillers 2, Tweeners 1.  Alex Cobb went 8 solid innings at The Hoover Dome where the SHAWN DRILLERS
beat the NORM TWEENERS 2 to 1.
 
SHAWN wasted no time and took the lead in the first inning as they scored 2
runs on 3 base hits.  That was all the runs Cobb(1-1) needed.  NORM made it
exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
 
Cobb got relief help from Joakim Soria who gained credit for his 1st save.
Hisashi Iwakuma(6-7) ended up with the loss.  'Just one or two mistakes were
all it took to beat us today' George Brett said.  'We take these games one
day at a time, but this one was hard to take.'
 
8/20 – Drillers 3, Tweeners 1.  Christian Yelich had 5 hits and Scott Kazmir racked up an impressive total of
11 strikeouts as the SHAWN DRILLERS defeated the NORM TWEENERS in 14 innings
by a score of 3 to 1 at The Hoover Dome.
 
The game was deadlocked at 1 after nine full innings.  SHAWN came out on top
in the 14th inning.  Yelich opened up the inning nicely when he doubled.  One
out later, Jose Abreu came to the plate and hit a deep fly.  Josh Donaldson
then slapped a base-hit.  Melky Cabrera stepped in and he doubled.  SHAWN had
13 hits overall, while NORM had 7.  
 
The win went to Alex Torres(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1 inning. Joakim Soria
recorded his 2nd save.  The losing pitcher was Drew Smyly(3-4) in relief.  He
pitched 2 and 1/3 innings and surrendered 1 hit and no walks.
 
8/21 – Drillers 8, Tweeners 0.  James Shields went 9 strong innings as the SHAWN DRILLERS defeated the NORM
TWEENERS by a score of 8 to 0 at The Hoover Dome.
 
SHAWN wasted no time and took the lead in the first inning when they came up
with 4 runs on 4 hits.  That early run support was all that Shields(1-3)
required.  SHAWN rapped out 7 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Gio Gonzalez(5-5) was charged with the loss.  He allowed 4 hits and 5 walks in
7 and 2/3 innings.
