Wahoos 3, Tweeners 1

Tweeners drop 3 of 4 to the Wahoos at our place, now being derisively referred to by the local press as the Wahooverdome.
6/21 – Tweeners 7, Wahoos 2.  Nolan Arenado went yard and had 4 RBI at The Hoover Dome where the NORM
TWEENERS beat the GARTH WAHOOS 7 to 2.
 
Arenado helped send the fans home happy.  He hit a bases-empty home run in the
2nd inning, doubled bringing in two baserunners in the 5th inning and doubled
which scored a run in the 7th inning.  NORM out-hit GARTH for the game, 8
hits to 4. 
 
The victory went to Sonny Gray(7-9) who went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs.
Dillon Gee(0-1) took the loss.  NORM scored big getting 7 runs off him in 6
and 2/3 innings.
6/22 – Wahoos 6, Tweeners 4.  In a tight game it was the GARTH WAHOOS 6, the NORM TWEENERS 4 at The Hoover
Dome.
 
GARTH had the winning rally in the top of the 8th inning scoring 2 runs on 3
hits.  Chris Iannetta led off and started the attack as he drew a walk.  Kyle
Seager stepped into the batter's box and he doubled.  After an out was
recorded, Nori Aoki then slapped a one-base hit.  Dustin Pedroia came up and
he banged out a single.  NORM could do no damage in the bottom of the 9th.
 
The victory went to Dellin Betances(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Mark Melancon was credited with his 1st save.  Cory Rasmus(3-4) was charged
with the loss in relief.
8/28 – Wahoos 9, Tweeners 3.  Khris Davis jacked one out of the ballyard and Jordan Zimmermann went the
distance at The Hoover Dome where the GARTH WAHOOS beat the NORM TWEENERS by
the score of 9 to 3.
 
In the top of the 2nd inning GARTH scored 7 runs when they had 6 base hits.
That early run support was enough for Zimmermann(1-0) and GARTH.  GARTH had a
total of 13 hits for the game. 
 
Madison Bumgarner(11-13) suffered the loss.  He was not very effective,
surrendering 7 runs in 6 innings.
8/29 – Whoos 8, Tweeners 1.  Third baseman Kyle Seager had 3 base hits and 2 RBI at The Hoover Dome where
the GARTH WAHOOS beat the NORM TWEENERS by the score of 8 to 1.
 
GARTH set the tone of the game in the first inning scoring 3 runners on 2
hits.  The early run support proved sufficient for Henderson Alvarez(1-0) and
GARTH.  That was all the run support Alvarez required.  GARTH ended up with
11 hits for the game while NORM had 8. 
 
Sonny Gray(9-10) was the loser.  He pitched 6 innings giving up 6 hits and 7
walks.
