July 8th - 11th - So now we host a four game series with the Johnstown Johnnies, who are currently one game out of first, and tied for the wild card spot.
Game 1 - And of course, as usual, we start the series off with a loss. Our ace, Denny White pitched Ok, going seven innings and giving up four runs in a 5-4 loss. Once again our pen couldn't keep a team off the board, as this time it was Loren O'Connor giving up the winning run in the eighth. We really need to finish out this home stand strong!
Game 2 - Wow!! Did the "batting gods" look down on us today!! We scored a franchise record 15 runs on 13 hits, and Juan Aguilar pitched a gem in
a 15-2 win! The fans were going crazy as they have not seen offense like this ever from this team at home! Have to post this scorecard!
Game 3 - The bats stayed hot, as we pounded out 10 hits and won the game
6-4. Jesus Castaneda improved to 4-1, and Broderick MacDonald recorded his
16th save!
Game 4 - The excitement in the locker room was at an all time high, as players knew that a win today, and we'd be back to .500. And in a tight battle the entire game, we held on for a 4-3 victory. However, it came at a cost, as our young, 22 year old starter Mark Davis sustained a neck injury in the third inning throwing a slider, and had to leave the game. After the doctor checked him out, the muscle strain put him on the 15 day DL. We then had five other pitchers come in, with Loren O'Conner getting his third win, and Broderick MacDonald getting his 17th save, only two behing the league leader!
