Sunday, September 15, Year II

P Tom Horn (26-L) is eligible to come off the DL. Do you even remember him? He was 7-5 in 24 starts last year with a 3.14 ERA before needing elbow surgery on August 20. He has not pitched since. All 5 of the guys in our rotation are pitching very well right now and I am a little chicken to put a fellow who has not pitched in over a year right into the thick of it when we are shooting hard for 100 wins (which I want very badly). He has options, so we are shipping him to Vancouver (AAA) and we'll see if he has anything left to maybe make the rotation next year.

San Francisco Seals (83-65 .561 10 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (93-55 .628 in 1st place in the PCL West)

SF: Brad Simpson (35-R 16-9 2.88) vs. POR: Brian Hagans (26-R 4-3 2.97) Rookie

Simpson is 0-2 in his last 3 starts, but they were all Quality Starts. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in a game since July 16 (11 starts). We are 3-1 against him, but the win was his last outing when he held us to 1 run and 4 hits and no walks in 8 IP.

Hagans lost his last outing, giving up 4 runs in 5 innings.

Top of the First:
Dan Fortino swings at a 3-2 pitch and loops a hit to left. Chris Greenwald grounds into a force at 2nd, 3-6. Tim Roberts strikes out. A wild pitch sends Greenwald to 2nd. Ron Chestnut grounds out to 3rd!

Bottom of the First:
Paul Bouvet grounds out to 3rd. Dennis Webb strikes out. Jeff Schottler grounds out to 2nd...

Top of the Fourth:
Tim Roberts, who struck out in his first at bat of the season, hits a home run to left in his second.... 1 to 0, Seals. Ron Chestnut draws a walk. Javy Vasquez grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4. Stan Ward beats out an infield hit... Chip Carpenter strikes out. Bill Giffin swings at the first pitch and pops out to 3rd.

Bottom of the Fourth:
Jeff Schottler grounds a hit to center. With 2 outs, Bob Draper singles to right and Schottler takes 3rd without a throw. Omar Flores swings at a 3-2 pitch and homers to left center!!! 3 to 1, Beavers!

Top of the Fifth:
With 2 outs, Chris Greenwald singles to center. Tim Roberts takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. Ron Chestnut lines a hit to left center and Greenwald heads home.....he beats the throw... 3 to 2, Beavers. Greenwald is hurt, though. With the runners on the move, Javy Vasquez swings at a 3-2 pitch and lines a hit to left and Roberts scores without a throw to tie the game at 3... The Bullpen is up. Stan Ward swings at the first pitch and grounds out to short. Why couldn't someone have done that a little sooner?

Bottom of the Fifth:
With 1 out, Dennis Webb beats out an infield hit. Jeff Schottler lines a hit to right and Webb beats the throw to 3rd. Jeff Austin grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4, and Webb scores. 4 to 3, Beavers. Tony Casarez lines out to center.

Bottom of the Sixth:
Bob Draper leads off and whacks a 2-2 pitch down the right field line for a double. They walk Omar Flores intentionally. Dave Lesley grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4, and Draper goes to 3rd. With P Brian Hagans already at 104 pitches, we pull him down and send up PH Gordon Saunderson (27-L). He lines a hit to right and Draper scores and Lesley beats the throw to 3rd! 5 to 3, Beavers! That sends P Brad Simpson to the showers. New Pitcher: Harlan Martin (25-R) with a 1.43 ERA. Paul Bouvet triples to center and 2 more runs score! 7 to 3, Beavers! Do you remember when Bouvet was hitting a triple almost every game, it seemed? This is his first in September and he only hit 1 in August. Dennis Webb grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and Bouvet holds at 3rd for some reason. Jeff Schottler swings at a 3-2 pitch and strikes out.

Won - 7 to 3

We had 12 hits and made no errors

Brian Hagans (W 5-3) went 6 innings, allowed 3 runs, 7 hits, 1 home run, 2 walks and struck out 5. He threw a WP.

Down on the Farm: In his season debut for Vancouver (AAA), Tom Horn (26-L) pitched 5.2 hitless innings. He did not allow a run, but walked 4 and only struck out 1. Not bad, for someone who has not pitched in over a year!
