danman31 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 As mentioned in another thread Borchard went nuts today 4-5 with 3 HRs. Reed also had 2 hits. Nelson and Smith each had HRs. The Knights won 12-3. Box Score Brice went 3-4 with a HR in a 2-1 loss for Hickory. Antoin Gray also had 2 hits. Brian Miller had another quality start. He is becoming very consistent.

Rex Hudler Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 The Barons lost 6-4. Nicholson is in Bham, who got sent down? Munoz didn't have his best stuff, but kept his streak intact. Box Score Reyes must have gone on the DL. He got hurt diving for a ball Thursday night... I hadn't heard how serious it was. But with Morse also out, they needed someone. The Barons roster is like walking wounded right now. Reyes, Morse are down. Spidale missed two games with a bruised foot or ankle. Sasser has had to play OF a lot. Shaffer stepped in at SS. Really ugly lately........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Great to see Nanita put back-to-back great games together. It's always nice to see a prospect turn it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Wow, Joe's at .276 now and he had 6 RBI's today with 3 home runs. That's probably a new record for him, looks like ABoz's interview loosened him up or sumthin. Good to see Thomas Brice with another good game, deserves a call up ASAP if there's room for him.

danman31 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Good to see Thomas Brice with another good game, deserves a call up ASAP if there's room for him. There won't be any room for your home boy until Anderson gets called up, whenever that is. Nanita starting to play well is another problem there. It looked like the Sox were beginning to give up on him sending Blakely down to W-S, which would have limited his playing time if not for this streak. I could have interpreted this wrong, but Nanita had been benched a couple games in a row. Believe me, I want to see Brice up as much as anybody. Having he did well in Kanny last year says that there is no need to keep him down there. The Sox just have nowhere to put him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnSoxFan Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Indians dismantle Warthogs to avoid three-game sweep Nine-run inning propels Kinston to 15-6 victory By Dan Collins JOURNAL REPORTER For the first two games of a three-game series, the Winston-Salem Warthogs made a really good Kinston Indians team look really bad. But a baseball team, like water, is apt to find its own level, which the Indians did yesterday by leveling the Warthogs 15-6 in front of 989 at Ernie Shore Field. Unloading on right-hander Adam Larson, the Indians scored one in the first and two in the second before pouring across nine in the third. They sent 13 batters to the plate in the rally and collected eight hits - including five in a row - as Larson and reliever Byeong Hak An needed 51 pitches to finally stop the carnage. The Indians pushed across three more in the fourth, extending the lead to 15-0 before the Warthogs got in a few licks of their own with a run in the seventh and five in the eighth. "You've got to give Winston-Salem credit, they came out and really stuck it to us the first two games," catcher Ryan Garko of the Indians said. "What we talked about today was scoring first, because we got behind the last two nights, and they swing the bats so well it just seemed like they had the momentum go their way. "This is a big win for us." The Warthogs beat the Indians 8-5 Friday and 8-1 Saturday by getting strong starting pitching from left-handers Nik Lubisich and Paulino Reynoso and clutch hitting from Darren Blakely, Ricardo Nanita, Brian Anderson, Casey Rogowski and Brian Becker. Nanita had another impressive performance yesterday, going 4 for 4 for the second straight game, but starter Dan Denham of the Indians kept things under control by pitching sixth shutout innings to improve to 6-1. Denham, a first-round pick by Cleveland in the 2001 draft, allowed four hits and two walks while striking out two. "They've got a good-hitting club," Manager Ken Dominguez of the Warthogs said. "And they proved it today. "The first couple of games we were able to match up with them, having left-handed starters out there. That was able to neutralize them a little. But today it just really made a big difference." In professional baseball, a pitcher who finds himself behind in the count usually finds himself behind on the scoreboard, which is what happened to Larson in his first start after eight relief appearances for the Warthogs. A 15th-round pick by the White Sox in 2002, Larson allowed 10 of the 16 batters he faced to reach base. The Indians raked him for five singles, two doubles, a triple and two walks. "He got behind in some counts," Garko said. "He probably got into some hitters counts. which is what we haven't been doing the last couple of nights. When you get those 2-0 and 3-1 counts, I think that's what happened today." The struggles continued for An, a left-hander from South Korea who was 8-4 with a 3.16 ERA last season for the Warthogs. Bumped from the rotation, he entered yesterday's game with a 0-4 record and 6.47 ERA, and did little to improve his fortunes. He gave up eight runs on six hits and three walks in two innings, though three of the runs were unearned. By the end of the third, the Warthogs' best hopes rode on a thunderstorm that swept across Ernie Shore Field, prompting the fans to scurry under the grandstand roof. Although play was halted briefly after the fifth, the rain stopped in time for play to resume. Nobody took better advantage of the final four innings than Nanita, who collected his third single in the seventh and then blasted his second homer with a runner aboard in the eighth. After sitting out Friday night's game, while Dominguez started newcomer Darren Blakely in left, Nanita had two doubles, a single and a homer Saturday night and four hits yesterday. Nanita's eight straight hits is four shy of the league record, set by Kenneth Kuhn of Burlington in 1958, Nanita played center yesterday as Anderson rested, which allowed Dominguez to re-insert Blakely in left. Blakely managed only one hit in five at-bats, but it was a towering homer over the right-field wall to lead off the eighth. Blakely, a 27-year-old journeyman who grew up in Salisbury, has three homers in nine at-bats for the Warthogs. The Warthogs will embark today on a seven-day road trip to Potomac and Kinston. They will return to Ernie Shore Field May 31 to begin a seven-game homestand against Myrtle Beach and Lynchburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
