WEEK 9 con’t

Sullivan Mudhens update
The Dallas Texans Class A Sullivan Mudhens are in the throes of a nightmare, bordering on cataclysmic, yet wildly entertaining and record breaking season. They are now 5-52 through 57 games. Going 3-25 in April, 2-27 in May (with those 2 wins coming back to back on the 27th and 28!. They are 0-20 vs LHP, 3-27 at home and 34 games back. They started the season 0-13 before winning 3 out of 4, and then went on a world record 34 game losing streak! Their leading winner in the rotation is, well it’s 3 guys at 1-7, 1-7 and 1-8. Their closer has 4 saves…
.
They are hitting .173 as a team with 115 runs. They have 21 home runs and 27 stolen bases. Their leading hitter is Oscar Simmons at .198.. Well check in on them from time to time.

GAME 56
Walt Thompson (6-3) was dominant again, going 7-4-1-1-1-11 and Randy Pennington (H9) held for Arturo Rodriguez to notch his 2nd save. There was not 1 run scoring hit in the game. Salinas and Alexander each had 2 of our 6 hits. Arredondo tripled leading off the game, and scored on a Palmer groundout for the Trappers only run. Hugh Collins was removed from the game in the bottom of the 1st after a collision at home where he was tagged out trying to score on a Salinas single. No word on the extent yet.
CHI 3 EDM 1 (39-17 +5)

INJURY NEWS
LA Wizards OF and former IBL batting champ Vincente Soto will miss at least the next 3 weeks after injuring his elbow on a play against the wall in yesterdays game. Soto is hitting .350 with 8 homers and 16 RBI’s for the 2nd place Wizards who trail Sacramento by 2 games in the Pacific and are in a 3 way tie with Vegas and Houston for the Wild Card.

No word on Collins either, he’s out a few days while we wait.

MINORS
Tulsa’s Troy Becker remains on fire in AAA. He went 5-5 in a 7-5 win today to raise his average to .432.

GAME 57
Lee (6-3) goes 8-6-2-2-1-6 and Pedro Salinas drills his 13th and 14th homers, driving in 4 (38). Luis Chavez goes 2-3 with 3 runs and 3 RBI’s (53) on his 18th homer and Jean Chartier goes 2-4 with 3 RBI’s on a double (8) and his 6th homer.
CHI 12 EDM 3 (40-17 +6)

GAME 58
Alejandrez (8-3) tires after 5+ going 5-3-1-1-4-3 on 85 pitches. This is now a going concern. He’s fatiguing earlier and earlier it seems. Ellison and Johnson combined for 4-2-0-0-1-4 innings of relief. Paul Riggs went 3-4 with 2 RBI’s on 2 doubles (18) and his 4th homer and Pedro Salinas hit another home run (15). Bill Alexander was 2-4 with 2 RBI’s and Wes Morgan had 2 hits.
