Week 12
3 @ LA
4 @ CC

Game 65
Alexander kicks things off with a 2R HR in the 1st, his 24th. The offense clicks today with Hudson going 3-4 driving in 3, Lopez having a 3-6 day driving in 2. Jackson (3-6) battles going 6-5-1-1-5-3 for the W but Johnson and George give up 3 each over the last 3.
CHI 12 LA 7 (29-36)

Game 66
Alejandrez (6-4) goes the distance with a 2 hitter (9-2-1-1-0-7). Alexander goes 4-5 with 2 2B’s and an RBI and Chartier and Morgan hit HR’s. Gutierrez has a 3-5 day.
CHI 8 LA 1 (30-36)

ROSTER NEWS
Bob Barbour was sent to AAA on a rehab assignment, and it’s likely he’ll remain there after it’s over. Ignacio Ferrer came of the DL and Gonzalo Barron was optioned to AAA.

Game 67
Alexander hits his 25th, and the rest was ass. Garrett gives up 7 in 5 to drop to 2-6. Alexander's 7th error broke our back. Frank and Potts both got hit hard in the loss.
LA 12 CHI 5 (30-37)

STAT STUFF
Bill Alexander is 3rd in CL Avg at 356, 21 pts behind Rich Stone, tied for the league lead in HR’s at 25 with Michigan’s Brian Kempton and holding a lead of 1 in RBI’s, 74-73 over LA’s Jorge Garza. What a start.

Game 68
Another Grand Slam given up by Mike Davis, and again walks preceded it. Davis drops to 6-3 (6-3-5-5-5-3). Walks have just killed him, and us. Alexander and Lopez have 2-4 days in the loss.
CC 5 CHI 1 (30-38)

Game 69
Morgan hammers a 3R shot in the 1st, Lopez clears the bases with a 3B in the 2nd and Flowers 2-0 gets into the 9th before tiring (8.1-6-3-3-2-6). Morgan adds a solo shot in the 9th and Hudson 2Bs in a 3-5 day.
CHI 10 CC 3 (31-38)

Game 70
Ernesto Cruz comes in to escape a troubled 8th only to get himself into trouble in the 9th. Ending the game with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Gutierrez goes 3-4 and scores 3 times and Alexander drives in 2. Bartlett hits his 4th to back a solid Jackson (4-6) start (6-3-1-1-5-4).
CHI 5 CC 4 (32-38)

DRAFT NEWS
I may be about 100k short of snagging 19th rounder Julio Perez. I didn't pay close enough attention to available monies and should have waited to offer my top pick his slot bonus before proceeding. That would suck. None of my top 4 have signed yet.

Game 71
When a 4 hit day is a .500 avg you've been at the park awhile. 16 innings of rainy, wet, baseball ended after the Iron Pigs plated 3 in the top of the 16th, and tiring closer Ernesto Cruz nailed down the final 3 outs in the bottom. Pigs starter Alfredo Alejandrez battled for 6 (6-10-5-5-1-7) after giving up 5 early. Had it not been for him settling down I have no idea where the pen would be. As it was they managed to throw up 10 scoreless innings. Working out of jams all night long. The most stunning stat of the day was the staff punching out 11 and walking just 1! The Pigs 16 hit attack saw only 2 XBH, a 9th inning 3B by Walker and a 4th inning solo shot by Bartlett. Gutierrez went 4-8, Hudson 3-9 and Wil Morgan was hurt mid way through (waiting to see how he is). Corpus Christi SP Tatsuso Ito set an IBL record with 8 walks over his 5.2IP.
CHI 8 CC 5 (33-38)

INJURY NEWS
Morgan looks DtD at worst, might hold him out of #72 to be safe.

DRAFT NEWS
Word came down late in the evening that Martin has inked all 3 of our top picks, all agreeing to terms and reporting to their respective clubs tomorrow. Martin will start out in Rookie ball, Raul Feliz could likely hold his own in AAA today, but we’ll let him wet his feet in AA first. Pennington will close in AAA now, he’s that close.

WEEK 12 RECAP
Bill Hill of the Dayton Dragons wins the FL PotW with a 13-33 4HR 9 RBI week. Hills at 310-28-62 on the season.

Bill Alexander of Chicago wins his 2nd PotW award with a 12-26 3HR 12RBI week. Bill is at 353-25-77 on the year.

ORGANIZATION NEWS
Keith Todd, one of Martin’s blue chippers, took home Midwest League PotW honors by going 10-24 with 2 HR’s and 8 RBIs. Todd had struggled out of the gate at AA Bakersfield but looks to be settling in.

Chicago has moved to 12th in the power rankings (88.7)

Belleview ranks #1 at 128.3

LEAGUE NEWS
Cy May of HOU paces the IBL in XBH with 44, followed by Bill Alexanders 42, Dave Ladd of Philly’s 41, Bill Hill of Daytons 40 and Rajah Lashari of Tulsa sits at 39.
