Cincinnati Pioneers at Minneapolis Millers

Cincinnati comes to town as Bill Pulsipher faces Byun-Hyun Kim. Jimmy Leyritz would start off a fine pitcher's duel with an rbi in the second and 1-0 it would stay until the Pioneers tied it in the 6th, thanks to a Gary Sheffield rbi. In the 7th, it would fall apart for us. Three runs capped by Sean Casey's two run double would put us behind 4-1. That was how it would end. Kim had a wasted effort, going 6 and a third giving up two runs on two hits. Ricardo Rincon just couldn't keep it close as he gave up 2 of the 3 7th inning runs.

Game two of the series featured Jason Bere against Casey Fossum. Fossum would again get hammered. This time for 7 runs in 4 innings. The Pioneers would run away with a 7-2 victory with our only bright spot being Grant Roberts brilliant relief effort, pitching 4 and 2/3 shutout innings giving up just 2 hits, striking out 6 and walking none. Fossum was sent back down to double A after this with a record of 0-3 and a 12.06 ERA.

The series closed out with our Tim Hudson, who has pitched well of late and 2W-1L tons of fun, David Wells. Husdon picked up where he left off pitching very well through 4 innings with Jason Lane and Tony Clark homers giving us a 2-0 lead. Then it all fell apart for Hudson. It all started with a Richard Hidalgo solo shot in the 5th, followed by 2 more runs. Then 3 in the 6th. A two run Aubrey Huff homer put us back in it 6-4 in the bottom of the 6th and we cut it to 6-5 in the 7th. But then Ricardo Rincon does it again, giving up 3 of the 4 runs scored in the 8th and we lose 10-5. Swept at home and I am not happy.

Record: 7-11

Marsupials do....cause they're fast! Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, 5 to 4; I don't believe what I just saw! I don't believe what I just saw! Last edited by Bobbuttons; 02-12-2005 at 11:39 PM.
