Haigwood had a perfect game going through 5 and then hit a jam in the 6th.

 

He's been pitching tremendous.

[CubsSuck1]

Mario F'in Valenzuela

[aboz56]

Mario F'in Valenzuela 

Too bad he isn't a prospect....We may have something if he was...

[Chisoxfn]

I don't know, I think Mario could somehow turn out. For whatever reason he seems like a pure hitter although his numbers as of late wouldn't reflect that.

[Heads22]

Bikowski's breaking out!!

Bryant Nelson keeps impressin, nice to see sum much needed runs scored for Charlotte even if it only came in 1 game. Austin Kearns for Louisville, wow.

[southsider2k5]

Wow Charlotte scores 16 runs and no Reed or Borchard. Any reason that they both sat?

Phillips gives Barons seven strong innings in win

Tuesday, May 11, 2004

A. STACY LONG

For The Birmingham News

 

MONTGOMERY - Birmingham Barons manager Razor Shines was working over his starting pitcher, playfully reminding Heath Phillips of his previous starts.

 

"He told me he hoped I could go five innings," Phillips said.

 

"I looked at him kind of funny. `Five, that's it?'"

 

Five wasn't it Monday night in the Barons' 6-1 Southern League win over the Montgomery Biscuits at Riverwalk Stadium.

 

Phillips worked a season-high seven innings, allowed four hits and handed Montgomery its fifth straight loss in front of an announced crowd of 3,691.

 

"I was happy to get five out of Phillips," Shines said. "The fact he gave us seven was great and it was an outstanding seven."

 

Phillips gave up a fifth-inning run - Montgomery's first run in 23 innings - and coaxed 10 ground-ball outs to improve to 4-1.

 

The right-hander had lasted 5Ҡinnings in three of his five previous starts and worked five in the other two.

 

Through five innings Monday, he had thrown only 50 pitches.

 

"Me and our pitching coach, Juan Nieves, have been working on getting early contact outs," Phillips said. "We've been working on my consistency."

 

While Phillips was baffling the Biscuits, the Barons were blasting them.

 

Birmingham finished with four home runs, including three in a four-run sixth that broke a 1-1 tie.

 

With two outs, Aaron McNeal hit his eighth home run of the year, an opposite-field shot to right off Montgomery reliever Jason Pruett (0-1).

 

After Rob Sasser walked, Darren Blakely cracked a shot to left. Micah Franklin followed with a no-doubter to left.

 

"I liked every single one of them," Phillips said. "It helps me and it helps their confidence."

 

It was Blakely's fourth home run and Franklin's first.

 

Sasser added a leadoff homer in the eighth, his second homer of the year.

 

"Those came from a couple of guys who haven't been juicing the ball," Shines said. "Hopefully, that will get them started. When they're really going well, they can really help the ballclub."

 

Birmingham took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Nate Murphy walked and scored on a Blakely groundout.

 

Montgomery, which had been shut out in its last two games, tied it in the fifth when Juan Salas scored on Robinson Cancel's sacrifice fly.

 

Birmingham answered with four runs in the next half-inning.

 

"Because we're not scoring many runs, that seemed like the game," Montgomery manager Charlie Montoyo said. "You could see it in our guys' faces."

INTIMIDATORS BITE BATS 4-3 IN SERIES OPENER

 

(Greensboro, NC) – David Cook’s solo home run in the sixth inning giving Kannapolis a 4-0 lead at the time proved to be the game winner in the Intimidators 4-3 win over the Bats at War Memorial Stadium in Greensboro.

 

Kannapolis went ahead with three runs in the fourth off Bats Starter Victor Prieto. Tom Brice scored on a sacrifice fly, Leo Daigle on a wild pitch and David Cook on an error by the third baseman.

 

 

Intimidators starter Daniel Haigwood had a perfect game through the first five innings with eight strikeouts before running into trouble in the sixth. With one run in and a man on first, James Spears uncorked a two-run shot over the right field fence pulling the Bats within a run, 4-3.

 

 

Todd Deininger gave the Intimidators two scoreless innings in relief of Haiwood. Ehren Wasserma earned his team-high sixth save pitching an inning and a third.

 

 

Game two of the series is Tuesday night at 7:00pm from War Memorial Stadium in Greensboro. Kannapolis returns home May 19th to Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium hosting Hagerstown for a three game series beginning at 10:00am on the 19th.

Wow Charlotte scores 16 runs and no Reed or Borchard.  Any reason that they both sat?

Reed played --had 3 RBI's -- although one was on a groundout and another was a sac fly.
