Huntington Station plays .500 ball for the week and keeps a slim 1.5 game lead over their foes the Atlantic City Rollers…

Ramrods drop Monday the 7th’s game to Buffalo at Tracer Field 5 to 3.. Oswalt struggles, giving up 3 homers in the complete game loss. Oswalt is now 16-11 with a 2.60 ERA.

Game two against Buffalo had the excitement and offensive Ramrod fans have been asking for… Making his RABA debut at catcher was Choo Choo Coleman the 184th pick in the Amateur Draft in his first at-bat Choo Choo hit an 0-1 pitch to left field as a weak fly out. In the 3rd inning the Ramrods exploded for 7 big runs capped off by a 3 run big fly from Coleman, he deposited a 1-0 fast ball 371 feet over the right field fence… In the 4th inning the Ramrods again put up a crooked number with the strike of the inning coming on Back to Back homers by Rico Petrocelli and Choo Choo on consecutive pitches… Colemans was extra exciting as the ball hit the right center field wall and bounced past Tracers center fielder Bob Brower toward left center… Choo Choo was a chuggin from the time he hit the ball, with his legs a churning Coleman looked puzzled when the third base coach had the windmill going… Coleman rounded third and slide into home ahead of the relay for the inside a park homer… The Ramrods went on to win 15-8 and I am sure that is one day that Coleman will not forget…

The Ramrods went home to face the Southampton Sea Horses in a 4 game series… Winning the opener 4 to 2 in 15 innings the Ramrods cracked out 15 hits… The hero was Gleyber Torres who hit a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 15th to help the Huntington Station cause. The home run, which was hit off Red Lucas was a big walk off which allowed the crazy Huntington Station crowd to go wild.

The Ramrods lost the next 2 before coming back on Saturday the 12th to beat the Sea Horses 2 to 1. Tim Belcher pitched great to go to 14-12 with a 3.14 ERA, and Terry Forster picked up his 24th Save…

Bad news, in Thursdays loss to Southampton Gleyber Torres was injured in a collision at second base, it was determined that he has a sprained ankle and will be out 1 to 2 weeks….

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK:

22-year-old Bob Hazle made a few Atlantic City headlines during this past week as the rookie left fielder proved he could compete at the plate with his high-school idols. He captured the attention of fans, journalists and Chadwick League officials last week and today took home Player of the Week honors for his effort. He cracked 12 hits in 29 at-bats to put up a .414 average. Hazle collected 6 home runs, 10 RBIs and scored 11 runs. Hazle is batting .299 this year with 28 home runs, 73 RBIs and 73 runs scored. He has 135 hits in 451 at-bats.

One of the league's most exciting young players, Bob Chance of the Chattanooga Choo Choo's earned himself Doubleday League Player of the Week honors with a standout performance in last week's games. For the week the 21-year-old first baseman had a lofty .526 average (10-for-19), collecting 7 home runs, 10 RBIs and 8 runs scored. During the current season Chance is batting at a .338 clip with 26 home runs and 68 RBIs. He has played in 103 games and scored 63 times.

KEY INJURIES:

Ocean City Islanders: SP Rube Foster diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament, will miss 12-13 months.
Chantilly Airmen: LF Ralph Garr was injured when he got jumped walking down the street. The Diagnosis: Fractured foot. This injury keeps him out of action for 3 weeks.
Palm Bay Indians: SP Michael Bowden was injured while pitching. The Diagnosis: Elbow inflammation. He's expected to miss about 4 weeks.
Buffalo Tracers: SP Scott Olsen diagnosed with a torn flexor tendon in his elbow, will miss 12 months.

NOTES:

I decided not to place Gleyber on the DL for 15 days, but I did call up Larry Bettencourt a 1B/3B right handed bat to help off the bench… such is nice with the expanded rosters....

The Rico project is still ongoing, and shows that Petrocelli is now a 29 rated first baseman, his hitting has slipped a bit but he is still stroking it at .283/.350/.556
