DVs 3, Buckeyes 2

DVs and Buckeyes hooked up for a 5 game set at the DV dome that saw all but one game stay close while having multiple swings and lead changes.

 

Game 1 – Cuddyer smacks a 2 run homer in the 8^th off Ryan (also known as Aaron) Cook to spur a 4-3 Buckeye win. DVs miss back to back BP 1-15 game winning home run chances in the bottom of the 9^th as Michael Saunders and Aramis Ramirez whimper helplessly in the fetal position while being pelted with sunflower seeds thrown by mocking fans.

 

Game 2 – Yonder Alonso returns the favor with a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8^th to spur a 5-3 DV win.

 

Game 3 – RA Dickey coasts with a solid outing as the Buckeyes roll to a 6-2 win

 

Game 4 – DVs get out to a comfortable 6-1 lead, then turn it over to the bullpen (with Cook giving up 2 homers in an inning) that almost coughs up the game as they cling to a 7-5 win.

 

Game 5 – Paul Maholm spins a gem, lowering his ERA to 8.01 ( he allowed 5 runs over 7 innings) and moving his record to 3-1 as the DVs come back from a 5 run deficit to win 8-5. The aforementioned Cook gets dog cussed before the game and rises to the occasion- recording all 6 of his outs via strikeout.

Tweeners 4, Buckeyes 1

The Buckeyes' sluggers did not find The Hooverdome to their liking, scoring only 9 runs in 5 games. Perhaps the Tweeners' pitchers can take a bit of credit, posting a 1.80 ERA for the series.

6/22 – Corey Hart returned to face his former mates for the first time, going 2 for 4 with a homer and a double, but Shane Victorino had 2 base hits and Zack Cozart homered at The Hooverdome as the NORM TWEENERS beat the GLENN Buckeyes by the count of 3 to 1.

Tommy Milone(5-5) gave NORM a solid outing. He surrendered 5 hits and no
walks in 6 and 2/3 innings. Sergio Romo was perfect in the ninth giving him
his 13th save on the season.

The loss was charged to Cole Hamels(2-2). He pitched 5 innings allowing 4
hits and 1 walk.

6/23 – Michael Morse and Adam LaRoche each jacked one out of the ballyard and had 3 RBI as the NORM TWEENERS bested the GLENN Buckeyes 8 to 2 at The Hooverdome.

Felix Hernandez(6-5) pitched a solid game. He went 7 innings allowing 5 hits
and 1 walk lowering his ERA from 3.97 to 3.75. NORM finished with 13 hits
while GLENN ended up with 6.

Lucas Harrell(2-6) was the losing pitcher. He was not very effective,
surrendering 4 runs in 2 and 2/3 innings.

9/3 - Madison Bumgarner whiffed 10 batters and Mark Reynolds slammed a homerun as the NORM TWEENERS bested the GLENN Buckeyes 3 to 0 at The Hooverdome.

Bumgarner(9-3) came through with a virtuoso performance against the GLENN
hitters. He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 5 hits and 1 walk in 8
innings lowering his ERA from 3.84 to 3.53. NORM had 7 hits for the night.

Sergio Romo earned his 14th save. The loss was charged to Edinson
Volquez(0-4). Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Bumgarner - except
GLENN. GLENN's manager lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight. He was keeping
our guys off balance all game. A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher -
makes it a fun game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the
visitors!'

9/4 – Supported by homeruns from Jones, Hart, and Youkilis, R.A. Dickey pitched a complete game as the GLENN Buckeyes beat the NORM TWEENERS by a score of 5 to 1.

GLENN took the lead off Chris Tillman in the first inning plating one
baserunner. Emilio Bonifacio tripled. Chris Nelson followed next and he
would ground out. GLENN had 9 hits for the night.

Dickey(7-1) got the victory, allowing 1 run for the game. Tillman(1-2) ended
up with the loss. He gave up 4 runs and 6 hits in 6 and 1/3 innings.
9/5 - The NORM TWEENERS bested the GLENN Buckeyes by a 4 to 1 score at The Hooverdome.

NORM drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning when
they scored 3 runs on 3 hits, including a 2-run homer by LaRoche. That early run support was enough for Gio Gonzalez(5-2) and NORM. NORM out-hit GLENN for the game, 7 hits to 4.

Sergio Romo recorded the save, his 15th. Cole Hamels(2-3) was the loser. He
surrendered 3 runs and 5 hits in 6 innings.

Warpigs 2, Wahoos 1

Game 3 - Warpigs win 7-4. The Pigs avoided the sweep by pounding Mark Buehrle, scoring 4 in the 1st and 2 more in the 2nd. Cliff Lee wasn't great either, but pitched just well enough for the win. Fernando Rodney earned his 12 save.

Inmates 6, FFTs 4

Inmates 5 – FFTs 2 (FFT Land): Rizzo hits 2-run tater in 6^th to break a 2-2 tie; Bastard-O K’s 5 in two innings for the save.

Inmates 8 – FFTs 1 (FFT Land): A close game gets blown open in the 8^th and 9^th as the Inmates score six. Cargo gets a 2-run tater.

Inmates 4 – FFTs 3 (FFT Land): FFTs get to Parker with 2 in the 8^th, but the Beakless Chicken Gang hangs on for a sweep at the Band Box.

FFTs 1 – LDMF 0 (Baptist Bowl): Pomeranz, Gonzalez, and Belisario combine to 3-hit the LDMF. Inmates pitchers do well, but a Swisher homer in the 4^th ices the game.

INMATES 4 – FFTs 0 (Baptist Bowl): A tit-for-tat trade of shutouts. Beachy tosses a 2-hitter; Parra homers for the Inmates.

FFTs 9 – Inmates 3 (FFT Land): FFTs find their bats and bomb Santana mercilessly, scoring 5 in the 3^rd. Pooholes jacks one.

FFTs 8 – Inmates 4 (FFT Land): The Inmate-bashing continues. Billingsley gives up moon-shots to Ichiro, Ramirez, and another to Pooholes. Beaky and the boys are never close.

Inmates 4 – FFTs 3 (Baptist Bowl): FFTs take a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the 9^th (Swisher dings again), but Espinosa leads off with a double and moves to third on a Forsythe pinch-single. Parra grounded out with the infield in, advancing Forsythe to 3^rd. Rios then ripped a clean 2-run single to end it.

FFTs 6 – Inmates 4 (Baptist Bowl): The FFTs favorite batting practice pitcher, Santana, takes it up the wazoo once again. Pooholes hits two taters, Swisher spuds once, and the Inmates can manage only 10 singles and a double.

Inmates 6 – FFTs 5 (Baptist Bowl): Forsythe hits a pair of homers and the Inmates jump out to a 6-0 lead after two. The FFTs keep coming back but leave the tying run on in the 9^th.

The HEAD INMATE

Tweeners 7, FFTs 3

4/9 @ The Hooverdome – Tweeners score 4 in the 1st as Masterson is yanked before he can record an out. The visitors would out-hit us 12-11, but Tweeners win 7-3. Milone the win, Romo the save, homers by Aoki and Morse.
4/10 @ The Hooverdome – Pomeranz emulated Masterson, allowing 5 1st inning runs (at least he did record 1 out before being yanked). Homers by Shane, Wilin, and Mary (Tyler Moore), Felix has his way, Tweeners win 8-1.
5/21 @ FFTs – Tweeners score 2 more 1st inning runs, then 4 more in the 4th, before the FFTs can get on the board. Felix pitches around his own 2 fielding errors, another save for Romo, complete game loss for Kuroda, final score 6-2.
5/22 @ FFTs – Tweeners fail to score in the 1st, but tally 6 in the 2nd thanks to homers by Reynolds and Morse (grand slam), but it is not enough for MadBum as FFTs win 7-6. Liriano wins in relief, Belisario the save.
5/23 @ FFTs – both teams score early and often in a game featuring 33 hits, 12 walks, and a HBP, Tweeners survive by a score of 13-9. 2 homers by Wilin Rosario.

7/3 @ The Hooverdome – FFTs rough up Felix, lead 6-1 after 3 innings, but Tweeners tie it with a 5-run 4th, then win it on an 8th inning homer as Hal inexplicably leaves Detwiler in to face Wilin. Wesley Wright gets the win, Romo the save, final score 7-6.
7/4 @ The Hooverdome – Chris Tillman allows only a Pujols solo homer in an 8-1 CG victory. Shane, Wilin, and Mary all take Wandy deep.
8/14 @ FFTs – a 6 hit shutout for Felix, Wandy serves up 2 more bombs to Wilin, Tweeners win 4-0.
8/15 @ FFTs – FFTs come from behind with 3 in the 8th to capture the finale 6-4. Hal pushed the right buttons as pinch-hitters Michael Young and Carlos Ruiz both came through with bases-loaded hits in the 8th inning. Belisario again with the save. Mariano who?

DVs 2, Inmates 1

All games at the Baptist Bowl:

DVs 4 – Inmates 3 (11): Grilli sux in the 11^th; Beltre hits lead-off tater in bottom of the inning, but that was it.

Goofs 4, Tweeners 3

Game #11 – Griffin outpitches MadBum, homers by Quentin and Hamilton, Goofs win 3-1.
Game #12 - The NORM TWEENERS ended a long winless drought and edged the PHIL -SG SUPERGOOFS at the Hooverdome by the score of 3 to 2. Gio Gonzalez(3-2) gave a fine effort for NORM. He went 7 and 2/3 innings surrendering 6 hits and 1 walk reducing his ERA from 3.94 to 3.72. PHIL –SG had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.

Sergio Romo earned the save, his 9th. Yu Darvish(0-1) took the loss. He
pitched 5 and 1/3 innings giving up 7 hits and 2 walks. 'Ahhh, that victory
was surely needed. Man alive, things were getting awfully grim,' noted
NORM's manager George Brett. 'Now, we need to string a bunch of wins together and turn things around!'

Game #13 - Catcher J.P. Arencibia launched 2 homeruns and scored 3 times as the PHIL –SG SUPER GOOFS topped the NORM TWEENERS by a score of 6 to 4 at the Hooverdome. Arencibia provided much of the offense. He clubbed a solo home run in the 5th inning, stroked a base-hit in the 6th inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 8th inning. Jordan Walden earned the save with a perfect ninth, his 1st save. The win was credited to Kyle Lohse(1-0) who went 6 and 1/3 innings allowing 4 runs. Tommy Milone(2-3) was the losing pitcher.
