FYI, I released him a while ago, he pitched 15.2 innings this yr. James

Runs were at a premium when the Turtles travelled to Springfield Saturday afternoon. After the teams split two tension-filled games, the Isotopes used a mid-game rally to take Game 3 and the Series.

Treasure Island managed only seven runs over the three game set, with slugger John Kruk being the only visiting player to distinguish himself. Krukker's five hits were 25% of his team's total, and his four doubles accounted for half of the Turtle's extra base hit production. On the other side of the diamond, the Isotopes got nothing from from slugger Barry Bonds (two singles and no RBI), and next to nothing from Bonds' heralded teammates, but two light-hitting middle infielders filled the power void.

Game 1 starters Pedro Astacio and Sid Fernandez were excellent, or perhaps the hitters were just terrible. TI's Fernandez threw a complete game, allowing just two runs, but was undone by Springfield shortstop Jeff Huson, who banged two doubles and a triple and scored the winning run. The unexpected production (Huson was hitting just .131 entering the series; after going 8 for 11, he's at .265) made a 2-1 winner out of Pedro Astacio (2-1, 2.17), with the save going to Doug Jones, his seventh. The unlucky Fernandez suffered his third defeat against just one win (Sid sports a solid 2.61 ERA).

In Game 2 Huson collected four more hits, including his first home run of the year, and double-play partner Spike Owen contributed two hits, including his first home run. But Kruk's two doubles and three RBI from Craig Grebeck's were just enough to see the visitors to a 5-4 victory in 10 innings. Huson's two-run single tied the game at 3-3 in the eighth, but Bernard Gilkey doubled home a run in the 10th and came around to score on Grebeck's triple, making Huson's solo home run in the bottom of the 10th moot. Treasure Island won it 5-4, with Jaime Navarro (3-2, 1.80 ERA) going nine to get the W and Jeff Montgomery notching his first save of the season despite the Huson homer.

Up to this point, neither team had led a game by more than a run, except for one inning, a streak that finally ended midway through Game 3. Isotope starter Bob Tewksbury was nursing a 2-1 lead when the Fish EXPLODED for three runs in the fifth, two coming on Owen's single. The control specialist handled it from there, going the distance to improve to 4-1 on the year. His 1.69 ERA is second to Hoboken's Bill Wegman (.082), minimum 20 IP. Frank Castillo (2-2, 3.50) took the loss.

With the series win, the Fish improved to 17-7, one behind the 13-5 Zephyrs, who have played six fewer games. The Turtles are eight back at 9-15.

Despite getting outhit, outscored and for the most part outplayed, the Isotopes took two out of three from the bottom-dwelling Cats Wednesday night. The Fish managed only 18 hits in the three-game set, and their 1-2 hitters, Tim Raines and Barry Bonds, combined to go an anemic 3 for 24. But Springfield's top two starters were once again excellent, enabling the Fish to avoid what would have been an embarrassing result.

Bruce Hurst (ARC) and Bob Tewksbury (ISO) got the Game 1 starting assignments for their respective teams, and both were superb, each throwing seven innings of scoreless baseball. The Cats broke through in the bottom of the eighth against reliever Jeff Brantley, Julio Franco spanking a leadoff double and scoring the game's first run on Wally Backman's clutch pinch-hit single. Facing the Cats' Jeff Robinson (0-1, 7.20), Barry Bonds completed the dreaded sombrero to make the first out in the top of the ninth. But Kent Hrbek (.314, 12 RBI) singled, and the little-used Daryl Boston tripled him home. Todd Zeile followed with a sac fly, and just like that, the 'Topes had erased eight innings of futility to take a 2-1 lead into the final frame. Doug Jones worked a perfect ninth to secure his fifth save.

The Cats played angry in Game 2, seemingly taking out a season's worth of frustration on the hapless Fish. They battered Mike Moore for eight hits and six runs in five innings, and then torched Moore's replacement, Bryan Hickerson, for five more. The final score was Antelope River 11, Springfield 3. Juan Samuel ripped his first two homers of the year, driving in six, and teammates Eric Karros and Franco collected two hits and two RBI apiece. Craig Lefferts (1-2) got his first win of the year, in the process lowering his ERA to 2.52.

The Isotopes had planned to rest their other ace, but with the series up for grabs, Curt Schilling got the starting nod in Game 3. He and his opposite number, Tom Candiotti, each allowed a run in the first, but settled down thereafter. In the fifth inning the Fish put together their first and only rally of the series, as Raines, Bonds, Zeile and Spike Owen each hit safely, resulting in three Springfield runs and a 4-1 lead. Schilling was pulled after seven, Mike Perez worked a 1-2-3 eighth, and Jones notched his league-leading sixth save despite giving up a run in the ninth.

The Fish improved to 15-6 but fell out of first place for the first time this season, percentage points behind the 13-5 Zephyrs. The Cats, meanwhile, are unlucky to sit at 3-18. Of some concern for the 'Topes is the depth of their rotation.?Bob Tewksbury and Curt Schilling are a combined 8-1 (1.87 ERA) this season, while the bottom four is a pedestrian 5-4.?

The Grizzlies took a trip to Springfield Tuesday afternoon, winning one of? three games, but it could've, maybe even should've been, more. St. Louis hit into seven double plays over the three game set, all but one of the twin killings coming with runners in scoring position.

The first-place Isotopes got off to a fast start in Game 1. The division's leading hitter, Tim Raines (.364 BA), banged out three hits, Kent Hrbek cracked a two-run home run and Scott Fletcher singled to drive in a pair. Springfield led 6-1 after four and was cruising behind starter Curt Schilling (4-0, 2.03) until St. Louis rallied in the later innings, clawing back single runs in the seventh and eighth innings to narrow the deficit to three. After Chris Sabo reached base to start the ninth inning, the Fish brought in Mike Perez to close the deal. Instead, the right-hander gave up back-to-back doubles to Marquis Grissom and Mark Grace, making the score 6-5 and bringing the go-ahead run to the plate in the form of slugger Rob Deer. With a sellout Springfield War Memorial Stadium crowd looking on nervously, the shaky Perez retired Deer for the final out of the game, in the process securing his third and perhaps ugliest save of the year.

Game 2 was knotted at one apiece when the Grizz loaded the bases against Springfield's Jose Guzman with one out in the top of the fifth. St. Louis third baseman Dave Hollins leaned into a Guzman fastball, drawing a HBP to plate the go-ahead run. The Fish escaped further damage when the next batter, David Justice, grounded into an inning-ending double play. St. Louis immediately regretted their wasteful ways in the bottom of the inning when the 'Topes took a 3-2 lead on a Hrbek sac fly and Todd Zeile's two-out RBI single.?

The Grizzlies opened the top of the sixth with back to back singles, but the first and third situation proved very temporary when the next batter, Greg Olson, grounded into a 6-4-3 double play. The tying run scored on the play, but once again, the Fish re-took the lead in the bottom of the inning thanks to Raines' two-run single. St. Louis, trailing 5-4 in the eighth inning, rallied, putting two on with one out with Olson once again at the plate. With one swing of his bat, Olson effectively killed the rally, and the game, hitting into his second double play. The Fish escaped with a 5-4 victory. Reliever Bryan Harvey got the W, and Perez looked better than he did in Game 1, working a 1-2-3 night to notch his fourth save.?

Game 3 was all St. Louis, although it didn't look that way at the start. The Grizz left the bases loaded in the first, and Mike MacFarlane grounded into a double play to extinguish a promising rally in the second. But the visitors put up four in the fourth, two coming on a MacFarlane single and another on a bases loaded walk. The Grizzlies were just getting started, scoring three more in the fifth to make it 7-0, two coming on Hollins fourth dinger of the year. Frank Viola (4-1, 2.87) was solid again, giving up just two runs in six innings. The final score was St. Louis 8, Springfield 4, the Grizzlies securing the much needed win after dropping the first two. At 11-7, St. Louis is in third place, two games behind the Isotopes and Zephyrs, both at 13-5.
