Wednesday, May 29, Year II

C Dave Benya was put on the growing Disabled List and C Phil Parker (28-S) was recalled from Vancouver (AAA). That makes 5 players on the list now. Cross you fingers, because 2B Paul Bouvet (26-R) is reportedly healthy and scheduled to return to the team on Friday. And hopefully hit better than the .231 he has for us so far...

Minnesota Twins (21-28 .429 9.5 GB in 5th place in the PCL East) at
Portland Beavers (28-21 .571 1 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West)

MIN: Jose Nieves (29-R 2-6 5.29 ERA) vs. POR: Don Panighetti (25-L 2-2 3.04) All-Star

We were 3-1 against Nieves last season, when he was 10-16 with a 3.68 ERA, but he pitched 3 good games against us. We have not faced him this season.

Panighetti is 0-2 in his last 6 starts.

Game Start: 7:05 PM
Ballpark: The Skydome
Weather: Roof Closed
Attendance: 15,333

Top of the First:
Jerry Walker swings at the first pitch and lines out to center. Gary Olson takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. He steals 2nd. Jamie Cutshall grounds out to 2nd and Olson goes to 3rd. Rick Ingledue grounds out to short!

Bottom of the First:
Omar Flores tries to bunt and whiffs on it, so swings away next time and grounds out to short. Dennis Webb grounds out to 2nd. The Twins' outfield is very lousy defensively this game, so of course we will not hit any balls out of the infield.... Tony Casarez swings a t a 3-2 pitch and grounds out to 2nd.

Bottom of the Second:
Jeff Austin leads off by grounding a hit past the shortstop, stealing 2nd an going to 3rd when Gordon Saunderson grounds out to 1st, unassisted. Dave Lesley takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. Jeff Schottler grounds into a 5-4-3 double play.... Only the second GDP of the year for him.... Someone has put a curse on us...

Top of the Fourth:
With 1 out, Jamie Cutshall doubles to left and with 2 outs, Aubrey Roy doubles to right. 1 to 0, Twins.

Bottom of the Fifth:
Jeff Schottler leads off with a double to left center. He steals 3rd! Eddie Thomas flies out to left and Schottler beats the throw to tie the game at 1!

Top of the Seventh:
With 2 outs, Billy Allen singles and then goes to 3rd on a double to right center by Steve Church. They let P Jose Nieves bat, who has a hit today and is now batting .400 lifetime against Panighetti.... He grounds one hard, but SS Eddie Thomas makes the play!!!

Top of the Eighth:
They go down in order!

Bottom of the Eighth:
Eddie Thomas takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4! I want to leave Panighetti in the game to bunt, but he stinks at bunting, so Rollie Ferree (28-R) is sent up to do the deed. But instead, Eddie Thomas tries to steal and they throw him out with a pitchout called... Ferree is left in there, because there is no great hitter on the bench and he grounds out to 3rd. Omar Flores flies out to left....

Top of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Mitch Dowdell (25-L) to face one batter, Rick Ingledue. He flies out to center. New pitcher: Don Schmidt (27-R). PH Mike Francoeur (26-L), their All-Star center fielder, is sent up. He grounds out to the pitcher! Jim Thut fouls one to the left side that 3B Omar Flores drops for an error... Thut then strikes out!

Bottom of the Ninth:
Dennis Webb leads off with a double to right center! Pinch-runner: Phil Parker (28-S). New Pitcher: Art William (33-R), their closer. 1.99 ERA. He had a win and a save against us in the last series we played with them. Juan Rodriguez (34-L) comes in to play left in a double switch. Tony Casarez grounds out to the pitcher, but Parker makes it to 3rd. Can Jeff Austin make contact? No, he cannot... strike three... 2 outs. They walk Gordon Saunderson intentionally to get to Dave Lesley, who grounds out to short.

Extras!

Top of the Tenth:
Phil Parker stays in to catch. Billy Allen sends one to deep right, but it is caught on the warning track. PH John Ponterio (33-L), .286 with 1 HR in 21 AB, is sent up. He strikes out! Juan Rodriguez grounds out to short!

Bottom of the Tenth:
With 2 outs, we let P Don Schmidt make the 3rd out.

Top of the Eleventh:
Top of their order goes down in order!

Bottom of the Eleventh:
New Pitcher: Lyle DeLeo (31-L) 1.94 ERA. With 1 out, Phil Parker singles to left and gets thrown out by another pitchout.... Tony Casarez strikes out.

Top of the Twelfth:
Down they go, 1-2-3! The Twins' bench is now empty.

Bottom of the Twelfth:
New Pitcher: Eddie Amos (36-L), the Fireman Trophy winner in the PCL last year. Jeff Austin leads off with a liner to short center for a hit. Another pitchout? Larry Sinchak (31-R) is sent in to pinch-hit for Gordon Saunderson. With Austin on the move, he swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds out to 3rd. Austin goes to 2nd. Dave Lesley grounds a ball up the middle and it gets through and Austin heads home... the throw....the tag....the call.... Safe! And THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Beavers!!!
