With the future of the Great Falls Sox season lying in the balance, down 2-1, with two out and two men on scoring position, with David Shafer, one of the premier closers on the mound for the Mustangs, Mario Valenzuela stepped to the plate...

 

The Sox are not playoff-sure yet, but they certainly have a chance to show that they're an effective road team over the next five days. They spend Labor Day and Tuesday in Helena, and then travel to Billings for the final three games of the regular season.

Kanny's catcher, Molina. Is he a brother of the other 3 Molinas?

[DBAHO]

Charlotte blew an 8-2 lead, including giving up two in the bottom of the 9th tonight and was eliminated from playoff contention.....  Matt  Ginter gave up three straight hits in the 9th, including a game-winning two-run double.

Is that Jeff Liefer pinch hitting for the other team? Man did Montreal lose the Colon trade or what. Nice to see Koch actually threw an inning without giving up a hit, walk or a run. Ross Gload's still hitting good at minor league level, if Daubach wasn't here, he'd probably get called up in September. Maybe a team like L.A or Arizona could use him? Is Borchard looking any better at Charlotte and does he have any hope of a September callup?

[Rex Hudler]

Yes, that is Liefer. Borchard was better the last two months of the season, but still needs work. I doubt he will get called up just because there is no time to play him.
