Re: Yo Eleven
Bruce Grant
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMatt, As an old guy (59 years of APBA), this series was one of the most tense and best I¡¯ve been evolved in. Only at the end of game 2 did I pause for a second to relax. Barry was going to be my first draft and his 2 homers proved his worth. My hat is off to your team and your ability to manage. Your write up is great, I wish I had the skill. As an analyst I have always had to spout the point with mundane statistics and get to watch it translated into political puff. I hope that we can have additional games in the future with what ever teams we chose. You are a most worthy opponent. I studied hard for this series and I came out ahead ¨C this time. Since you like Paul Faries so much I will try to save him for our future encounters. May your team keep doing well and go far. ? Bruce ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt DeMello via groups.io ? Riding an eight-game winning streak, the 16-8 Trailers traveled to Springfield Wednesday to take on the 17-7 Isotopes.

Second Bite of the Apple
Having just measured themselves against division heavyweight Appalachia, and come up wanting, the Springfield baseball club was afforded another opportunity to test their mettle Wednesday afternoon in New Jersey. The Fish, until recently the darlings of the division, found themselves in third place after getting swept by the Trailers. Their three-game set against the second-place Zephyrs could very easily answer the question: how good are the Istotopes?
Well, the kids are alright. In a series where each game could have gone to either team, the Fish were the luckier club and escaped Hoboken with three wins.? Hoboken was cruising behind starter Pete Smith (1-2, 1.88) in Game 1, up 3-0 halfway through. Springfield's Bob Tewksbury balked home a run in the second (with Smith up to bat, no less!) and gave up back to back bombs to The Robins in the fourth (Ventura's third, Yount's second). After having collected just 14 hits over three games against the Trailers, the Fish were only slightly better against Hoboken, totaling just six hits in the opener. But lucky for them, the home side forgot how to field over the space of two innings. In the fifth, Springfield's Scott Fletcher stole third base with two outs and scored when Darren Daulton's throw sailed into left field, making the score 3-1. Errors on consecutive plays in the sixth led to four more runs and a 5-3 Tope advantage. It ended Springfield 6, Hoboken 4, with four of the runs being unearned. Tewksbury wasn't too proud to take the win, though, running his season mark to 5-1 (his 1.91 ERA is good for fourth in the division, minimum 25 IP). When the lineups were announced, Game 2 looked like it might shape up to be a pitcher's duel, and boy was it ever. Hoboken's Big Wegman (coming in, 3-0 and leading the division in ERA) faced off against Springfield's Curt Schilling (coming in, 5-0 and a 1.60 ERA). The Fish scored two runs, one the result of a hit and run single/sac fly, the other on a suicide squeeze. That was plenty for Schilling, who was pulled in the ninth with two outs and a man on. Doug Jones retired the final batter of the game to preserve the 2-0 victory, in the process recording his league-best ninth save. Wegman went the distance for Hoboken but was saddled with the hard luck loss. The Isotopes collected six hits in the finale, the seventh straight game the Fish tallied seven hits or less. The only reason Springfield is still relevant in the division is because of their pitching. Jose Guzman and three relievers held the Zephyrs to one run in Game 3. Whatever offense the Topes mustered came in the second, when three consecutive hits produced three runs. Having done their job, the hitters took the remainder of the game off. It ended Springfield 3, Hoboken 1. Hoboken's Jim Abbott (1-1, 3.60) was the hard luck loser this time around, going the distance but taking his first loss of the year (the Zephyrs never had to go to their pen in any of the three games). Currently, the Tiant Division looks like this: the Trailers are on top, at 19-8. Springfield is a half game back at 20-10, while the Zephyrs, having played significantly fewer games, are in third place with a record of 13-8. ? |

Yo Eleven
Riding an eight-game winning streak, the 16-8 Trailers traveled to Springfield Wednesday to take on the 17-7 Isotopes. Despite a fair amount of opposition, the Mountain Folk ran the table, sweeping the Fish to make it 11 wins in a row.
AP's Mike Mussina and Springfield's Curt Schilling faced off in the opener, and both performed like a Game 1 starter should. The contest was scoreless after nine, Schilling having departed after eight but Mussina still the pitcher of record when his team batted in the top of the 10th. Steve Finley greeted Springfield's?Jeff Brantley with a double to lead off the inning, but that was nothing compared to what teammate Terry Steinbach did next. The backstop launched his first home run of the year over the center field wall to put his team in front 2-0. Mussina worked around a leadoff walk in the bottom inning to finish a 10-inning complete game shut out, not an everyday occurrence these days. The right-hander improved to 2-1 on the year, in the process lowering his ERA to 2.86. After collecting four hits in Game 1, the Isotopes took a step backwards in Game 2, totaling just three hits against right hander John Smoltz (3-2, 3.27). The Fish made the most of the meager pickings, however, as the game was tied 3-3 after five innings thanks to a two-out, bases-loaded triple by Springfield's Daryl Boston (the big hit followed the first of two errors by AP's little-used infielder Paul Faries).? Eventually the Trailers pulled away, scoring one in the sixth, two in the eighth and three in the ninth to blow it open. The final score was 8-3, with the bulk of the damage done by Appalachia's 7-8-9 hitters, who combined for three runs and five RBI (Smoltz helped himself with a pair of run-scoring hits). Third baseman Kevin Young was 3 for 3, and is 11 for 12 on the season, with nine runs and five stolen bases in four games. However, it's rumored that Young may be leaving the club shortly, on to bigger and better things. The series finale was another close one. Faries doubled and scored on Otis Nixon's single to give the Trailers a 1-0 advantage in the top of the first, but the home team took their first lead of the series on Kent Hrbek's two-run dinger, his fourth, in the bottom of the frame. The lead was extended to 3-1 when Barry Bonds homered to lead off the fourth, the only hit in the series for Springfield's slumping right fielder. Otis Nixon's sac fly made it 3-2 after six, and it was still 3-2 in the ninth, the Fish desperate to salvage a win in front of their home fans. Mike Perez was tasked with safeguarding the narrow lead, and he started well, retiring Moises Alou for the first out of the inning. But Alex Arias roped a double, and Young, representing the go-ahead run, worked Perez for a walk, bringing Faries to the plate. Faries cracked his second double of the game, plating both runners and silencing the crowd with one swing of his bat. Appalachia led 4-3, starter Charles Nagy (5-1, 2.40) gave way to Darren Holmes (the first time in the series the Trailers had deigned to go to their 'pen), and the Fish went quietly in the ninth, having by this time lost all their chips. After their miraculous run of 11, Appalachia is at 19-8, looking down at the rest of the Seitz. The Topes are in third, two back, at 17-10. |

Kruk vs the Smurfs
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. |

Better Lucky than Good?
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.? |
