Tuesday, May 28, Year II

The Twins are in town to finish off this little home stand with a 2 game set. They just beat the Angels 3 of 4 in Los Angeles and beat us 2 of 3 in Minneapolis before that. They are 13-4 in their last 17 games. They are 7th in scoring in the PCL with 3.94 runs per game (Portland is down to #9 with 3.50). We have scored 2.96 per game since my big brilliant idea of Black Monday... The Twins are 10th in fewest runs allowed with 4.19 per game (Portland is #2 with 3.17). 3.19 since the trades. So, I at least did not ruin the pitching and defense... But I did not make it any better, either, and flat made the offense worse.... But I still believe these guys will start scoring runs before too long... And of course, the pitching is now worse with 2 of the guys I was counting in the stating rotation on the Disabled List....

Minnesota Twins (21-27 .438 9.5 GB in 5th place in the PCL East) at
Portland Beavers (27-21 .563 2 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West)

MIN: Dave Bishman (27-L 2-3 6.20 ERA) Rookie vs. POR: Lonny Tomski (28-R 0-2 4.60)

We beat Bishman last week by scoring 5 runs in 6.1 innings. And 5 runs for us is a LOT.

Tomski gave up 9 hits in 5 innings in his last start, which was against these Twins...

The smallest crowd since I have been at Portland... The fans do not like our new look Beavers...

Top of the First:
Jamie Cutshall grounds out to 2nd. Gary Olson take a 3-2 pitch for strike three! Mike Francoeur grounds out to 1st, unassisted! 1-2-3!

Bottom of the First:
Eddie Thomas grounds out to 3rd. Dave Lesley swings at the first pitch and flies out to center. Dave Benya swings at the first pitch and lines out hard to right.

Bottom of the Third:
With 1 out, Tony Casarez hits his second home run of the season, a line drive over the right field fence! 1 to 0, Beavers! Both home runs have been off Bishman.

Top of the Sixth:
With 1 out, Jamie Cutshall hit one 442 feet to center... Tie game: 1 to 1.

Bottom of the Seventh:
Jeff Austin leads off with a double to left. With 1 out, he steals 3rd! That makes them walk Jeff Schottler intentionally. Rollie Ferree grounds a hit to center and Austin scores and Schottler beats the throw to 3rd! 2 to 1, Beavers! Tony Casarez doubles to left center! 3 to 1, Beavers! PH Tod Schreck (31-R), 1 for 14 on the season, takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 to load the bases up. Eddie Thomas swings at the first pitch and bounces one back to the box, but they only get the force at home, 1-2. 2 outs. Dave Lesley takes a 3-2 pitch for strike three.... some day, we will bust a game open....

Bottom of the Eighth:
New Pitcher: Eddie Amos (36-L). Fireman Trophy winner last year in the PCL. Dave Benya leads off by legging out an infield hit, but comes up lame. Pinch-runner: Barry Tucker (29-L). With 1 out, Larry Sinchak grounds into a double play.

Top of the Ninth:
On the Hill: Barry Chapman (27-R), beginning his 2nd inning of work after a perfect 8th. Gary Olson takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. The game is Chapman's to win or lose... Mike Francoeur grounds into a force at 2nd, 5-4. Ray Calandra grounds into a 4-6-3 double play and THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Beavers!

Won - 3 to 1

Lonny Tomski becomes the first Beaver starting pitcher to win a game since May 4, other than Frank Martin!

We had 8 hits and made no errors
Minnesota had 5 hits and made no errors

Lonny Tomski (W 1-2) went 7 innings, allowed 1 run, 5 hits, 1 home run, 1 walk and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit.
RHP Barry Chapman (SV 4 ) went 2 scoreless innings, allowed 1 walk and struck out 2.

Dave Bishman (L 2-4) went 7 innings, gave us 3 runs, 7 hits, 1 home run, 2 walks (1 INT) and struck out 1.

1B Jeff Austin hit a double, stole a base and scored a run. LF Tony Casarez hit a double and his 2nd home run of the year and had 2 RBI. PH Tod Schreck drew a walk.

Pepe reports that our best hitter, C Dave Benya, has pulled a back muscle and will be out 3 to 4 weeks....

Down on the Farm: The Vancouver Mounties (AAA) beat the Albuquerque Dukes, a Denver affiliate, 11 to 0, at home. Every player in the starting nine for Vancouver had a hit, except one: Woody Griesbach.... Even P Larry Smith, who only allowed 4 hits in a complete game shutout, got 4 hits with his bat, including a pair of doubles. He had 4 RBI. Woody might be in Vancouver for longer than 10 days...
