Current Week: 4-2 (50-32 - GB 1st (+6))
Next Week: 3 @ Ellicott City, 3 @ Richmond (Division Rivals)
Power Ranking: 2
Fan Interest: 55 (-1)
Owners Mood: Ecstatic

Game 77
Chesapeake 4, Norfolk 5 (12 innings)
Carlos Mateo got a tough luck ND going 7 innings, only allowing 2 runs on 7 hits while striking out 9. Dalton Whitaker pitched 3.2 innings of relief and Ron Harris pitched 1/3 of an inning for the win (2-0). Carlos Rodriquez was taken out of the game in 9th after 5 pitches, complaing of arm soreness. Allen Britt HR'd (2) in the 8th and Tony Soto hit a game tying HR (8) in the 9th to send the game to extras. Patrick Shelton doubled, his 3rd hit of the day, in Joe Payne for the game winning run in the 12th.

Injury News: After the game we were informed that Carlos Rodriquez would need at least 4 weeks of rest before coming back. Carlos has been placed on the 15-day DL. 24-year old Joe Davis was recalled from AAA to fill out the bullpen. And Javier Castro will take over the closer role in Carlos abscence. Went with Castro over Whitaker, because of his ratings, Castro has more control, just made more sense.

Game 78
Chesapeake 0, Norfolk 5
Karl Armstrong threw 3 innings of 1 hit ball, then left the game with an arm injury, we are awaiting news. Jose Martinez (1-0) threw 3 innings of shut-out ball for the win, and Dalton Whitaker threw the 9th for a save (1). Ron Adler had 3 hits, Mauro Candelaria and Tony Soto each had 2 and Brian Cline added a HR (11).

Game 79
Chesapeake 3, Norfolk 2
Tsuneo Sato pitched 8 innings of shut-out ball on 3 hits but took the no-decision. Javier Casto blew the save and took the loss (3-2) giving up 3 runs on 3 hits (not a good showing for his first closer fill-in). Patrick Shelton got 2 of the 5 Norfolk hits.

Off Day News: We announced the signing of 16 year old Jorge Jimenez a SP from the Dominican. He was giving a $1,000,000 signing bonus. Jimenez is of high intelligence and has a high work ethic. Tim Olson and OSA differentiate quite a bit on his ratings so it will be interesting to see how he develops.
Olson: Stuff: 5/9, Move: 10/13, Control: 1/8 2*
OSA: Stuff: 5/15, Move: 11/15, Control: 4/16 5*

Injury News: Karl Armstrong is now listed as D2D with a mild oblique strain. He should be able to make his next start.

Game 80
Norfolk 3, Annapolis 9
Geoffrey Bayles (9-4) grabbed the vicotry going 6.2 innings giving up 2 runs on 5 hits. Jose Martinez pitched the final 2.1 innings giving up a solo-hr for the only hit he allowed. Chris Shopland had 3 hits, including a HR (4), Tony Soto added 3 hits and Mauro Candelaria added 2 hits and 3 RBI.

Game 81
Norfolk 16, Annapolis 14
Don Sweetapple recorded a ND, breaking up his winning streak, in what was possible his worse start of the year. Don went 2.1 innings, givng up 7 hits and 6 runs (3 ER). Joe Davis (1-0) got the win going 2 innings allowing 2 hits and 1 run. Javier Castro recorded the save (3). Norfolk proved they could win in a slug fest, gitting 16 runs on 20 hits. Scoring 3-2-3-1-3 in the final 5 frames. Tony Soto had 2 hits and 5 RBI, including a HR (9), Jacob Chaney had 3 hits and 3 RBI, with a HR (7), and Mauro Candelaria was 5-6 with 4 runs scored! Howard Harper also added 4 runs scored.

Game 82
Norfolk 0, Annapolis 4
Carlos Mateo (4-8) gave up 4 runs on 7 hits in 5.2 innings and took the loss as the offense must of been tired from their exploding the night before. The Cav's only managed 4 hits, all singles, and Gilberto Ramos had 2.

Players of the Week:
Delaware: Morris Sinclair (Lewes Braves) 10-22 2 HR 14 RBI
MarVa: Tony Soto (Norfolk Cavaliers) 9-23 2 HR 9 RBI

Power Rankings:
1) Dover Generals (117.6)
2) Norfolk Cavaliers (112.8)
3) Richmond Cardinals (100.6)
4) Annapolis Admirals (98.8)
5) Milford Clippers (97.3)

GM Notes: On the horizon we have a big week ahead of us. The 3 at Richmond can turn out to be pretty huge, as we just can't seem to pull away from them... Pitching struggled a little bit last week, maybe it was the loss of Carlos Rodriquez, maybe it was just bound to happen. We are now ranked #2 in all pitching categories (Runs Against, Starters ERA, Bullpen ERA). Hitting we are out of the cellar in all categories, which is a nice feeling. Making the loss of Pablo Freitas (at least a week left) a little easier to take. Defense is at a .694 Def Efficiency... Injuries are starting to add up, so this is going to be a tough stretch. The all-star break is right around the corner, 6 more game then a well needed break.
