Week 3 - April 19 to April 25

Monday (4/19) - vs NY. Charlie Lea (2-0, 1.80) vs. Mike Moore (1-1, 2.63)
Neither starter got the job done, leading to a 5-5 score at the end of the 4th. But from that point on, the Titans locked things down, while the Greyhounds went on to surrender another five runs. Titans 10, Greyhounds 5.

Tuesday (4/20) - vs NY. Frank Tanana (1-0, 0.00) vs. Pascual Perez (2-0, 1.69)
Another solid outing by Pascual Perez, but the Goose was uncharacteristically shaky. Two homers by Andre Thornton and another by U.L. Washington staked Pittsburgh to a 5-2 lead entering the 9th. The Titans almost came all the way back, scoring two and loading the bases with one out. But the Gossage found his A-game and fanned Larry Whisenton and Tony Bernazard back-to-back for an uncomfortable save.Greyhounds 5, Titans 4.

Wednesday (4/21) - vs NY. Floyd Bannister (1-1, 3.00) vs. Jerry Ujdur (0-1, 14.63)
Udjur came into the game on somewhat thin ice -- 4 runs in 7 innings isn't great, but it may buy him another start or two to see if he's turning a corner. The game went to the 9th tied 6-6, until a throwing error on a double-steal let the go-ahead run score. (A sac fly later added an insurance run.) Caudill was saddled with the tough-luck loss.Titans 8, Greyhounds 6.

Thursday (4/22) - no game scheduled

Friday (4/23) - at CLE. Steve Rogers (2-1, 3.74) vs. Rich Dotson (3-0, 3.18)
Rogers rebounds in a big way from his first rough start of the year -- a 95-pitch, 3-hit, 9-K shutout. He even helped himself at the plate with a 1-fo-3 day with 2 runs and an RBI. The Hounds grinded out six runs, but they really only needed one. Greyhounds 6, Cobras 0.

Saturday (4/24) - at CLE. John Tudor (2-0, 3.10) vs. Storm Davis (2-0, 0.00)
Davis was pretty sharp the first time we faced him, and this time was more of the same. Six scoreless before turning it over to the bullpen. Tudor got victimized by one big inning -- a three-run 6th, highlighted by a 2-run pinch-hit double by Carl Yazstremski.Cobras 3, Greyhounds 0.

Sunday (4/25) - at CLE. Mike Moore (1-2, 3.79) vs. Mario Soto (2-2, 2.03)
Another great pitchers' duel to close out the series. Moore gave up a single run in the 3rd, but was otherwise solid; however, Soto was even better, throwing a two-hit shutout through 8. Unfortunately the Cobras went to the bullpen instead of letting Soto finish what he started and it cost them. First, Gorman Thomas singled home Willie Wilson to tie it up against Charlie Puleo in the 9th. Then in the 11th, Buck Martinez walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch by eventual loser Tim Lollar, and came around to score on a Don Money single. Jim Rice started the bottom of the 11th with a leadoff double, but got no further once the Goose buckled down. Greyhounds 2, Cobras 1 (11).

Week Record: 3-3
Season Record: 12-6, 2nd in division, 1 GB
