GAME 150
Ramiro Morales (9-4) was unhittable and very hittable, all within 5.2 innings. He went 5.2-5-5-5-4-10 as the offense took charge. Jean Chartier hit a 2B (14) and 3B (3) and drove in 3, Ernesto Gutierrez went 3-4 and scored 4 times, Paul Riggs went 3-5 with 2 runs and 4 RBI’s in his first career 2 HR day (6) and Bil Alexander hit his 49th HR. Wes Morgan went 3-4 and Bob Barbour hit his 1st HR of the year.

STUFF

Chicago 94
Los Angeles 93
Philadelphia 92
Baltimore 90

Chartier is up by 3, but it’s now 2 guys chasing. He’s at .332 and teammates Pat Adams and Vince Soto are at .329.

San Antonio is 1.5 out over in the FL Central and Staten Island is 1 behind Brooklyn.

Chris O’Slattery became the 1st IBL 20 game winner this year, with a 4-1 win over Vegas he went 8-5-1-1-1-7 and is now 20-7 2.82.

GAME 151
Up against a hot LA team. We’ve fared incredibly poor against the other 2 playoff teams (2-13 vs Philly and 6-9 vs Baltimore). We are 8-4 against the Sky Sox this year, most of those wins coming early.

Vince Soto goes 4-4 with 2 triples (15) to take over the batting race lead from a resting Jean Chartier. Ruben Cruz (13-12 4.61) goes 8-6-2-2-1-7 and Tommy Ray closes it out for his 4th save. Massi Lorenzelli went 2-3 with 2 solo HR’s (9). Alejandrez (16-11) went 6.1-10-3-3-2-4 in the loss.

San Antonio dropped a game back but Tulsa behind Joel Downs 20th win, beat Sacramento to help them in the WC. Brooklyn is still 1 up on Staten Island.

Soto’s at .334, Chartier .332 and Adams .329.

GAME 152
Ugh. Soto and Adams sit, and my guess it was because they’re being rested for the playoffs. Mark Williams battles huge 6-9-1-1-2-4 and we get 3 DP’s. Tommy Hobbs keeps it a 2-1 game through 8 (8-6-2-2-1-2) and Ernesto Cruz comes in after Pennington (H20) to get the final 2 outs. Antonio Gallardo greets Cruz with a double, and LA Manager sends Pat Adams to the plate to pinch hit and he promptly lines a ball into the left field seats for a 2 run PH walk off HR (only his 5th HR of the year!). Cruz’s 6th blown save of the year (3-4).
LA 3 CHI 2 (94-58 +14)

STUFF
Soto .334 Chartier .332 and Adams .330.

Staten Island drops 2 back, Brooklyn gets to 1 game under .500 and Tulsa opens up a 3 game lead on San Antonio. Sacramento falls 3.5 back of El Paso. Philly stays 2 up on Baltimore

Chicago 94

Baltimore 90

Edmonton’s Manuel Garcia went 4-5 with 4 RBI’s in a 12-5 win over Phoenix. The 27 year old first baseman hit a Grand Slam in his cycle. For the year he’s hitting 256-21-85 after hitting 77 HR’s and driving in 250 over the past 2 seasons.

Denison Pitching Coach John Horton and Manager Amazuz Louahla will likely not return to the organization. I expect both to get jobs in the IBL next season.

GAME 153
A Raul Feliz 9th inning error put runners on 2nd and 3rd of a 5-4 Chicago lead, with 1 out. Cruz intentionally walked Vince Soto and then struck out Julio Martinez and got Antonio Gallardo to pop up for his 2nd straight 40 save season. Spike Davis (8-4) went 6.1-9-3-3-3-3 for the win. A terrifying moment late in the game as Hugh Collins pulled up lame but trainers have told me it’s a bad back and a DtD thing. Jean Chartier went 2-4 with his 26th HR (now hitting .333) and Wes Morgan hit his 31st in a 2-3 2 RBI day. Vince Soto went 2-3 to move his average to .336.
CHI 5 LA 4 (95-58 +14)

STUFF
Soto .336 Chartier .333 Adams .330.

Brooklyn reaches .500 and moves 3 up on the Yankees. Tulsa ups their lead to 4 and El Paso 4.5. San Antonio is now 7 up in the WC. Philly remains 2 up on Baltimore.

Vincent Bray won his 19th. Short of some miraculous disaster Greg McCain of Edmonton will set a new IBL record for single season batting average. He’s at .373, 27 pts better than runner up Curt Whimster

OFF DAY NEWS
Staten Island moved back to within 2 of Brooklyn with a 6-1 win at Buffalo. Brooklyn and Staten Island meet, in Brooklyn, in the season’s final 3 games.

Philly is still 2 up on Baltimore after being, and this is amazing, SWEPT by Corpus Christi 5-3, 9-6 and 3-1. They now place cellar dwelling New Hampshire before a HUGE 4 game series IN Baltimore.

GAME 154
De La Torre (15-10) was bad, and a few relievers were worse. A 15-2 pasting. Massi Lorenzelli went 4-4 with a run in the loss.
LV 15 CHI 2 (95-59 +13)

STUFF
Philly and Baltimore made it official, knocking Columbus out. Philly still holds a 2 game edge with their big series coming up.

Soto .335 Chartier .335 Adams .328

Walt Thompson needs 14 or 15 K’s over his last 2 starts to break the IBL record. He’s at 264. Valentin Maitani (EP) and Curt Whimster (TUL) are tied for the FL HR lead with 45. Whimster looks like he will place in the top 3 in the triple crown categories, he’s at .347-45-123.

GAME 155
Ronald Wright hit a 2 out 2 strike pinch hit Grand Slam in the 8th inning off Ryan Penningto (3-4) to cost Chicago a game they appeared to have in hand.

Jean Chartier stole 4 bases (36) Hugh Collins went 4-5 with 2 SB’s (43) and Bill Alexander hit his 50th HR. Wes Morgan Slammed his 32nd as well. Alejandro Sotolo was hurt late in the game but no word on how bad yet.
LV 8 CHI 6 (95-60 +12)

WEEK 26 RECAP
Soto .335 Chartier .334 Adams .329

Joel Downs (TUL) won his 21st yesterday. He’s leading teammate George Perkins in wins 21-18 in the Frontier League.

Tulsa Manager Antonio Banuelos has not come to terms and will likely look elsewhere. Same with Omaha Manager Rickey Glenn.

Brooklyn RF Carlos Berrera took home FL PotW honors going 8-15 with 3 HR’s and 6 RBI’s.

Catcher Mark Doyle of Corpus Christi won the CL PotW award for his 12-24 2 HR 2 RBI week.
