His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Patsy worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits."

LaCoss at His Best, Blanks St. LouisMonday, May 18th, 2015: "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Knights manager told reporters after today's game. The Tides ran into a buzzsaw as Mike LaCoss cut them down to size 6-0 with a 4-hit shutout. His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game whitewash the New Orleans hurler doled out 2 walks and registered 4 strikeouts. In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Mike goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be." LaCoss also got some praise from the St. Louis manager. "He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings." To date this season LaCoss has compiled a 3-5 record with a 3.68 ERA in 8 starts.
Lincecum Signs 3-Year ExtensionWednesday, May 20th, 2015: Media analysts hailed Memphis's signing of Tim Lincecum, one of Pastime Baseball League's brightest stars, as a pivotal move.

This season Lincecum has worked 59.1 innings with 46 strikeouts en route to a 2-2 record and a 3.79 ERA.  Charlotte's Hall to Miss 3-4 WeeksWednesday, May 20th, 2015: George Hall expressed his disappointment when he learned that a strained oblique would sideline him for 3-4 weeks. "I'll just spend a lot of time in the training room and hopefully speed up the healing process. Nobody likes to be out of the line-up," explained Hall. The left fielder got hurt in today's game with the New York Heroes. He was hurt running the bases. Team officials had no comment on his roster replacement. In 39 games this season Hall is batting .207 with 29 hits and 5 home runs. He has scored 22 runs and driven in 20.  Branca on Top of His GameWednesday, May 20th, 2015: Charlotte's Ralph Branca brought his "A game" to the park, shutting down and shutting out the New York Heroes Thus far this season, Branca has worked 54.1 innings with 44 strikeouts en route to a 2-6 record and a 5.30 ERA.

He baffled them with fastballs and changeups, allowing 6 hits with 3 strikeouts and 3 walks to pick up the win.

In pitching stats this season Hunter has rung up 3 wins and 4 losses in 8 games. He has an ERA of 3.41 and has fanned 32 batters in 68.2 innings.  Riders Blank Wichita, Palmer WinnerWednesday, May 20th, 2015: It was a dazzling performance by Jim Palmer of the Boston Riders.

Sorensen Brilliant, Blanks SheriffsWednesday, May 20th, 2015: It was a long day at the plate for the San Antonio Sheriffs. They never did figure out Lary Sorensen and were shut out 1-0. The Alabama hurler baffled them the entire game, yielding no runs and 3 hits in a very well-pitched outing. Sorensen also totaled 1 strikeout and 1 walk in the game. On the season Sorensen has compiled a 4-2 mark with a 2.83 ERA in 7 starts. In pitching 57.1 innings he has 21 strikeouts and 15 walks while limiting the opposition to a .249 batting average.  5-Hit Blitz by Los Angeles's BrouthersWednesday, May 20th, 2015: It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. It may only come around once in a career -- a lot of players never have one -- but Dan Brouthers got one today. He scattered hits all over Scorpions Ballpark to pace Los Angeles to a 9-5 victory over Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City skipper told reporters in the press room, "Tip your hat to him. He hit some good pitches. According to the scouting report, Brouthers hit several that he is not supposed to hit." Brouthers hit a two-run home run off Britt Burns in the 1st, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, doubled in the 8th, singled in the 9th and hit an RBI double in the 11th. Thus far this season Brouthers has hit .295 with 8 home runs, 22 RBIs and scored 27 times.  Sheets Fires Shutout in Charlotte VictoryThursday, May 21st, 2015: "My pitching coach told me before the game just to bear down and focus. He said no one was going to hit me if I'm throwing a good breaking ball with good location." And that's what Ben Sheets did as he led the Cougars to a 2-0 shutout victory over the Riders. "I thought he put the ball where he wanted to," the Boston manager said. "And that's just about the whole secret to pitching." Sheets yielded 3 hits and had 7 strikeouts and no walks in a standout performance. This year Sheets has fanned 48 in 76.1 innings and collected a 2-5 record with a 4.72 ERA.  Jenkins Tames ScorpionsThursday, May 21st, 2015: It turns out that St. Louis's Fergie Jenkins shut out Oklahoma City today 2-0 at Tides Ballpark. In a solid outing Jenkins recorded 9 strikeouts and 2 walks as he held the Scorpions to 5 hits and shut them out. This year Jenkins has made 8 starts, thrown 59.2 innings, fanned 31 batters and walked 17. His won-lost record is 2-5 with a 4.83 ERA.  Leonard Spins ShutoutFriday, May 22nd, 2015: "He was too darn good for us today," grumbled the San Antonio manager after his club suffered a 3-0 shutout at the hands of Dutch Leonard of the Arizona Sandmen. He held the San Antonio Sheriffs scoreless in a 2-hit whitewash. Leonard was in a zone of his own most of the game and finished with 3 strikeouts and no walks in a strong outing. In a postgame quote his own skipper added, "He pitched his butt off, had good velocity, good movement and had those guys off balance. Dutch did a whale of a pitching job." To date Leonard is 7-1 in 9 starts with a 1.43 ERA and has 55 strikeouts in 75.2 innings. Barnes Signs 4-Year ExtensionSaturday, May 23rd, 2015: Happy times in New Orleans as the Knights and star second baseman Ross Barnes put the finishing touches on a $22,900,000 contract extension that will keep the 32-year-old in town 4 years longer. The signing is great news for New Orleans because players of this caliber are hard to come by. This year Barnes has hit at a .293 clip with 22 RBIs, 2 home runs and 19 runs scored.  Trent Pitches Gem against ArizonaSaturday, May 23rd, 2015: Sheriffs pitcher Ted Trent did his job today, blanking the Arizona Sandmen at Ballpark of San Antonio. He scattered 3 hits while striking out 8 in the 3-0 shutout. His record this year is 5-2 in 9 starts and Trent has a 1.70 ERA.  Philadelphia's Lyman Bostock InjuredSunday, May 24th, 2015: Lyman Bostock of the Philadelphia Ringers was injured in today's game against Sacramento and had to be helped off the field by the trainers. The initial diagnosis is a fractured elbow, and Bostock could well miss the rest of the season. So far this season Bostock is hitting .366 with no home runs, 13 RBIs and 17 runs scored. He has 30 hits in 82 at-bats and a .369 OBP. NORTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  Rocco Baldelli, Milwaukee BangersRocco Baldelli racked up 12 hits in 26 at-bats, 2 home runs and 8 RBIs last week in 6 games.

May 25-May 31, 2015 MAY AWARDS   Babe Ruth Named Best NL Batter in MayMonday, June 1st, 2015: Chicago's 25-year-old Babe Ruth put together a solid offensive month and was crowned May's top batter in the Northern League. He batted .294 with 9 home runs, 19 RBIs and 20 runs scored. So far this year Ruth is batting .267 with 10 home runs, 30 RBIs and 34 runs scored.  Candelaria Is NL's Best Pitcher in May Monday, June 1st, 2015: John Candelaria hasn't been around the big leagues long enough to know that youngsters shouldn't be winning Northern League Pitcher of the Month. But when you put up numbers like his, you're going to get some notice. In May the Charlotte starter earned a 5-1 mark in 6 starts. He threw 49 innings, struck out 25 and compiled a solid 2.02 ERA. This year Candelaria has 8 wins and 2 losses and a 2.37 ERA.  Northern League Names Rookie of MonthMonday, June 1st, 2015: Youngster Ken Griffey emerged as the latest Northern League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Wichita deserved the honor, batting .315 with 4 home runs and 10 RBI. Is the month of May a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Griffey enjoy the limelight. This season Griffey is swinging the bat at a .353 rate with 60 hits in 170 at-bats. To date he has hit 5 home runs, scored 34 runs and driven in 23.  Brouthers Cops SL Batter of the Month HonorsMonday, June 1st, 2015: Dan Brouthers battered Southern League pitchers all May and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award. "I've been around Pastime Baseball League long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 29-year-old Brouthers told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I may not take the field and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month." In 27 games, Brouthers hit .351 with 4 home runs, 13 RBIs and scored 24 runs. Brouthers currently has a .318 batting average with 56 hits, 9 homers, 24 RBIs, 36 runs scored and a .429 OBP. Trent Grabs SL Top Pitcher TrophyMonday, June 1st, 2015: Despite the number of years he's been in the league, Ted Trent still gets excited when he puts together a quality stretch like he had in May. The 27-year-old starter for San Antonio was named Southern League Pitcher of the Month earlier today. He collected 4 wins and 1 loss with 46 strikeouts in his 6 starts, putting up a fine 1.43 ERA in 50.1 innings of work. So far this year Trent has 6 wins and 2 losses and a 1.51 ERA.  SL Names Winfield Rookie Star of the MonthMonday, June 1st, 2015: Dave Winfield earned May's Rookie of the Month honors in the Southern League for last month's performance. The boyish Los Angeles right fielder might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level. Winfield hit .303 with 5 home runs, 14 RBIs and 18 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award. So far this year in 50 games Winfield is hitting .295 with 11 home runs, 29 RBIs and 36 runs scored. |

 Killen Guns Down HitmenTuesday, June 9th, 2015: "It was just one of those games, when everything went right. I threw a lot of strikes," Frank Killen said. "And the pitches they did get to hit, they didn't do anything with them." The New York Heroes pitcher really got it done in his 6-0 shutout victory over the Chicago Hitmen, shutting them down on 3 hits. Killen issued no walks and had 3 strikeouts. Currently Killen has a 5-6 won-lost record in 12 starts with a 4.62 ERA. He also has 48 strikeouts in 87.2 innings.  Arizona Whitewashed by PriorThursday, June 11th, 2015: At The Dune today Arizona dropped a 2-0 decision to Mark Prior and the New Orleans Knights. The Sandmen offered little resistance to Prior, who stopped them on 5 hits, fanned 3 and walked 0. This season Prior has worked 94.1 innings with 59 strikeouts en route to a 8-4 record and a 3.05 ERA.  Veale Tosses ShutoutFriday, June 12th, 2015: In an impressive outing, Bob Veale whitewashed the Boston Riders 3-0. "I'm getting a lot more downward movement instead of side to side. That side-to-side stuff can get hit a long way," said Veale, who is throwing with more of an overhand motion. "It's not rocket science. It was just a little adjustment, but that's all it took." The Sacramento hurler held Boston scoreless, allowed 3 hits, chalked up 6 strikeouts and yielded no walks. In 13 starts this season Veale has compiled a 9-2 record and a 2.50 ERA. Ouch! Carl Weilman Shelved by InjuryFriday, June 12th, 2015: Carl Weilman of the Indianapolis Engines was injured in today's game against New York and had to be helped off the field by the trainers. The initial diagnosis is an oblique strain. It happened while Weilman was throwing a pitch. "It hurt a lot, to be honest. I just hope it heals soon and I can get back on the field." This year Weilman has worked 104.2 innings with 73 strikeouts en route to a 6-3 record and a 2.67 ERA.  Indianapolis CF Stan Musial InjuredSaturday, June 13th, 2015: "It was kinda freaky. Hopefully, I'll be back in the lineup soon," said a dejected Stan Musial after injuring himself in a game against New York. The Indianapolis manager told reporters, "He will miss up to 5-6 weeks with a hamstring strain." The Engines are expected to announce a roster move in the next day or two. Presently Musial is hitting .321 with 8 home runs and 26 RBIs. He has played in 41 games and scored 22 times.  Tides Radbourn Stops IdolsSaturday, June 13th, 2015: According to Charley Radbourn of the St. Louis Tides, "There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location." He told his pitching philosophy to sportswriters in the postgame interview after his 6-0 victory over Los Angeles. He blanked them on a 5-hitter, allowed 5 walks and had 4 strikeouts. "I really felt comfortable the whole game," Radbourn said. His manager echoed his comments, saying, "He hit his spots time and time again." On the season Radbourn has compiled a 5-4 mark with a 3.23 ERA in 12 starts. In pitching 94.2 innings he has 48 strikeouts and 48 walks while limiting the opposition to a .225 batting average.  Cougars' Hines Smacks 5 HitsSunday, June 14th, 2015: "It was like I was hitting little league pitching again," said Paul Hines after his 5-hit performanace against the Brigade. "No offense meant to Wichita, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Cougar Field. I'm just not too happy that we lost 8-6." The Charlotte center fielder had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 6 at-bats. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Paul worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits." "That's what I'm trying to do," Hines said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it. It sure did work today." Hines singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, doubled in the 7th, flied out in the 9th and singled in the 12th. Thus far this year Hines has hit .242 with 5 home runs and 29 RBIs.  Sanders Razor-Sharp, Shuts out LouisvilleSunday, June 14th, 2015: The Louisville Racers struggled at the plate today against Hitmen hurler Ben Sanders, who shackled them on 6 hits while hurling a complete game 3-0 shutout. "What can you say? We didn't hit well," said the Racers skipper in his postgame comments. "Hopefully we shake this off and bounce back tomorrow." Sanders finished the game with 3 strikeouts and 3 walks in an excellent mound performance. "He pitched real well," his manager said. "Ben made pitches when he had to. He hit his spots and did a great job of mixing in his changeup and using his fastball effectively." This season-to-date Sanders has 5 wins and 7 losses and a 3.91 ERA. NORTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
SOUTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  Red-Hot Knight SL Player of the WeekMonday, June 15th, 2015: So far in his young career, Ray Knight has kept a low profile, but after his performance at the plate last week, he attracted the notice of the rest of the Southern League in a big way as he was named the Player of the Week today for his efforts. The 22-year-old Alabama Airmen third baseman hit at a torrid .542 clip as he collected 13 hits in 24 at-bats, 1 home run, 7 RBIs and 8 runs scored.

The Las Vegas hurler went the distance, finishing with 7 strikeouts and 3 walks in the 3-0 win. "He had a lot of first pitch strikes and kept us off balance with a lot of off-speed stuff," according to the Boston manager. "We just didn't get too many balls squared up today." This season Meekin has 4 wins and 2 losses and a 4.46 ERA.  Dennis Martinez Sidelined for 3-4 WeeksWednesday, June 17th, 2015: Dennis Martinez at first refused to leave today's Las Vegas-Boston game after he suffered a hamstring strain while throwing a pitch. But his manager convinced him not to be foolish. "I want to be on the field," the feisty Boston reliever said. "I'll play through just about anything." Given time to reflect on the situation, he knew it was in his best interest to get immediate treatment. The injury is expected to keep Martinez out of action for 3-4 weeks. This season Martinez has picked up no saves and posted a 1-1 record with a 2.73 ERA. He has 14 relief appearances, tossed 29.2 innings and struck out 14.  Chicago Signs MR Jenks For 2 yearsFriday, June 19th, 2015: Chicago fans celebrated as word of a signing became reality. Bobby Jenks won't be pulling up stakes anytime soon, as he has signed a 2-year extension at a pay rate of $955,000 per annum. Since he is widely seen as an integral part of the club, Chicago officials had to keep Jenks from jumping ship.  Wichita, New Orleans Trade Players Saturday, June 20th, 2015: It came down to the last hour of a self-imposed trade deadline, but the Wichita Brigade and New Orleans Knights finally came to an agreement on a trade that had been rumored for weeks. The trade sends Wichita's 26-year-old right fielder Roger Repoz to New Orleans in a swap for 29-year-old starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco and $1,790,000 in cash.

Hitting .213 to date, Repoz has 4 home runs and 10 RBIs. He has played in 37 games. On the year Nolasco has worked 93 innings with 51 strikeouts en route to a 6-4 record and 4.35 ERA.
Dave Parker out of Lineup 6 WeeksSaturday, June 20th, 2015: After injuring himself, Bosses right fielder Dave Parker headed straight to the hospital. He was removed from the game as a precaution after throwing the ball and the team's worst fears were confirmed when it turned out to be a little more serious. Parker will miss at least 6 weeks with elbow tendinitis. Thus far in 2015 Parker is hitting .333 with 5 home runs, 19 RBIs, 20 runs scored and has compiled a .354 OBP.  Milwaukee Blanks Scorpions, Montefusco at His BestSaturday, June 20th, 2015: John Montefusco of the Milwaukee BangersOklahoma City Scorpions 3-0 in a complete-game win, limiting them to 5 hits while chalking up 5 strikeouts and giving up 1 walk.

This year Montefusco has compiled a 3-9 record with a 4.97 ERA.
 Sacramento No Match for SingerSunday, June 21st, 2015: Bill Singer of the San Antonio Sheriffs was on fire against Sacramento. He shut them down 1-0 on 3 hits and no runs with 5 strikeouts and 2 walks. "The first two pitches I'm looking for an out, a ground ball or a fly ball," Singer said. "I'm trying to get quick outs. I've never been a big believer in trying to strike a guy out from the very first pitch. It's too easy to end up behind in the count doing that." To date this year in 14 starts, Singer has crafted a 7-7 mark with a 4.75 ERA. NORTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  Jones Chosen #1 PlayerMonday, June 22nd, 2015: At the age of 30, Fielder Jones might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The New York right fielder put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days with a .474 batting average. For his efforts Jones earned Northern League Player of the Week honors. He racked up 9 hits in 19 at-bats, 3 home runs and 8 RBIs last week in 6 games. This year Jones is hitting .298 with 5 home runs and 14 RBIs in 27 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .408 with 17 walks and 20 runs scored. SOUTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  SL's Top Player NamedMonday, June 22nd, 2015: 23-year-old Lou Piniella sent shock waves through Pastime Baseball League last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the Southern League Player of the Week Award. A newcomer to the league, Piniella made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .481 average, 13 hits in 27 at-bats, no home runs and 7 runs batted in. Where the San Antonio Sheriffs right fielder goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Piniella certainly made his mark last week. So far this season Piniella has 3 home runs and a .291 batting average. |

What happened? Jones: Broken ankle second week of season, done at least until August Hamilton: Suffers devastating shoulder injury in spring training, out for season Connor: .276-4-37 so far, well off pace he set in six years in New York. Baker: Posted .870 OPS last season, .760 this season Mackey: After .300-7-61 rookie season, tore back muscle during spring, out until at least late July. Despite a horrible April, Ruth leads the majors in homers and is second in RBIs. But he's gotten zero help, and the pitching staff that was so strong last season has slipped to the middle of the pack. They are 4-12 in 1-run games and a stunning 12-24 at home. It's just been a really rough ride. They host first-place Wichita for four this coming week...they could have their season ended in short order here. |

Details were sketchy, though New Orleans did say Bruney would be with the club 3 years beyond his current deal. For the year Bruney has saved 0 games while posting an ERA of 0.00 and 2 strikeouts in 5 innings. His totals also include a 0-0 record in 6 relief appearances.  Hitmen Barker Tames WichitaThursday, June 25th, 2015: Wichita bats were ice cold today at Battalion Ballpark. Chicago's Len Barker chilled them down with a 4-0 victory. In a fine outing, the 24-year-old hurler allowed 4 hits while striking out 3 and walking 4. Checking out his stats for the year, Barker has racked up 5 wins and 7 losses in 15 starts, 3.75 ERA and struck out 51 batters in 115.1 innings.
 Gross and LaCoss TradedFriday, June 26th, 2015: Several Sandmen and Knights players soon will have to start shopping for a new home. It was announced today that the two teams came to agreement on a trade. Arizona will get 26-year-old starting pitcher Mike LaCoss and New Orleans will pick up 30-year-old left fielder Gabe Gross in return. "I'm not surprised by the news," one of the players told reporters, "It's part of the business and I understand that. I am looking forward to playing for the Sandmen." In 2015 Gross has hit at a .243 clip with 27 hits, 4 home runs, 12 RBIs and has scored 16 times. This season LaCoss has compiled a 7-6 record with a 4.38 ERA in 14 starts.  Louisville, New Orleans Agree to DealFriday, June 26th, 2015: Signed... Sealed... and Delivered. Louisville has worked out terms of a deal to send 27-year-old shortstop Ozzie Smith to New Orleans for 25-year-old starting pitcher Mickey Lolich. Both teams expect to introduce their new players at press conferences later in the week. The slick fielding Smith hasn't played in the PBL this season, spending the year on Louisville's reserve squad. But Jimmy Rollins' lack of production in New Orleans means Smith should get some ABs simply by virtue of his defensive worth. Thus far this season Lolich has posted a 3-4 record, started 8 games, struck out 31 batters in 70.2 innings and compiled a 4.58 ERA. Stone's Hit Streak OverFriday, June 26th, 2015: Lady Luck was not on the side of George Stone or his teammates today at Bangers Ballpark. Everything went the Milwaukee Bangers way. They not only came away with a 9-2 victory, but also held Stone hitless in 1 at-bat to put an end to the left fielder's 23-game hitting streak. "It was a good run," Stone said afterward. "But it'd be much easier to take right now if we had won." Currently Stone has no home runs and a .360 batting average. Streak Finally Over, Nunamaker HitlessFriday, June 26th, 2015: The Sacramento Stingers got more than a 4-1 victory over Indianapolis today at Pathfinders Ballpark. They put an end to Les Nunamaker's 22-game hitting spree by holding him without a hit in 3 at-bats. But it was no big deal to the Engines catcher. Nunamaker seemed to feel more for his team than himself. "I had some great looks at some pitches that I should have hit. I missed some that I shouldn't have swung at. All in all, I wasn't much help with the bat today." Thus far this year Nunamaker has hit .266 with 8 home runs and 42 RBIs. Brigade LF Griffey OutSunday, June 28th, 2015: The Brigade received bad news this morning. Ken Griffey will miss 3-4 weeks due to a strained hamstring. In the Wichita-Milwaukee game he sustained the injury while running the bases. "I'm disappointed more than anything," he told reporters later in the day. "You can't help your team on the bench," Griffey sighed. "I'll do the rehab work and hope for a quick recovery." For the season Griffey is currently batting .338 with 7 home runs and 31 RBIs. In 67 games he has reached base at a .401 rate and scored 54 runs to date. NORTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
SOUTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  Week's Best Player: St. Louis's ManningMonday, June 29th, 2015: One of the league's most exciting young players, Jack Manning of the St. Louis Tides earned himself Southern League Player of the Week honors with a standout performance in last week's games. For the week the 25-year-old right fielder had a lofty .469 average (15-32), collecting 1 home run, 6 RBIs and 5 runs scored. Manning on the season is batting .296 with 5 home runs.
