Don Sweetapple (1-1) had a good performance, but didn't get any help from the offense. Sweetapple went 7.2 innings, allowing 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out a season high 11. The offense was handcuffed for 5 hits, all singles, and struck out 12 times!

Game 17
Ellicott City 5, Norfolk 0
Carlos Mateo (3-1) was the benefactor of a quiet offense, as he threw 6.2 solid innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits. The offense was held to 4 hits, with Jacob Chaney getting 2 of the 4, both of his hits were doubles.

Game 18
Ellicott City 6, Norfolk 8
Tsuneo Sato (4-0) continued to win this season, but struggled through 5.2 innings, giving up 6 runs on 6 hits, while walking 5 and striking out 2. Edgar Matsuda thew 2 innings of hitless ball, and Carlos Rodriquez pitched a perfect 9th for the save (4). The offense exploded for 6 runs in the first, ending their scoreless streak at 19 innings. Brian Cline was 2-3 with 3 RBI, including a double and a triple. Tony Reyes had 2 hits and 4 RBI, including a double and a 2-run HR (2). Pablo Freitas, Chris Shopland and Ron Alder each added 2 hits.

Injury News: Brian Cline was injured running after a double in the 4th.

Game 19
Ellicott City 5, Norfolk 7
Karl Armstrong (ND) went 7.1 innings, giving up 4 runs on 6 hits, but took the ND when Dalton Whitaker blew the save (1) in the 9th. Whitaker (1-0) took home the win thanks to a Mauro Candelaria walk-off 2-run HR (1). Mauro had a 3-5 day to pace the offense. Tony Soto alos ahd 2 hits, including his 4th HR. Pablo Freitas hit his team leading 6th HR in the 3rd.

Injury New: Carlos Rodriquez was pulled from the game in the 9th with an injury. We will wait anxiously for the diagnosis... We got the that Brain Cline is out 5-6 days with a D2D ankle injury.

Players of the Week:
Delaware: Billy Moore (Milford Clippers) 8-19, 1 HR, 3 RBI
MarVa: Steve Williams (Chesapeake Blue Crabs) 9-19, 2 HR, 12 RBI

Power Rankings
1) Norfolk Cavaliers (138.6)
2) Chesapeake Blue Crabs (132.2)
3) Lewes Braves (131.0)
4) Annapolis Admirals (114.2)
5) Washington Senators (109.2)

GM Notes/Thoughts: Followed an 8-game winning streak with a 3-game losing streak. Plus that 3 game-losing streak we scored a total of 2 runs and were held scoreless for 19 straight. I had flashbacks of last years offense. Hopefully it was a fluke and we will be back hitting the ball next week. I am going to keep an eye on Ellicott City so next time we play them I am curious how those two guys (Aarsse and Gonzalez) do against us... Pitching is continuing to throw the ball well, Carlos Rodriquez has been a little shaky this season. Is it too soon to try to find a new closer? His control has always been a concern (10/20), but last year he was one of the best. He is injured and we are awaiting the news, hopefully nothing major... Pablo Freitas is hitting the ball well, could this be his breakout season? He was our 2nd player drafted in the inaugural draft, was rookie of the year in 2013 and then missed most of last year with injuries... Ron Alder has 11 steals, with the first month coming to an end he is on pace to break the all-time record... Washington is starting to warm up. Going to be a fun season.
