Jason Giambi is clean by whatever testing MLB is using now, but you can't argue that steroids didn't help to build him up to the frame he has now. As long as you keep working it out, it's not going to go away. I'm not saying I know whether Thome used PEDs or not, but the "he's clean now" argument doesn't do much. Giambi is still able to crush the ball as well.

Same for me, except that I do care that guys took PEDs. I just don't think you can reliably discern who did & who didn't in most cases.

Final: Billings 3, @Helena 0 Mugarian Masterful on Moustache Monday By Nicholas Allen The fourth time's a charm. Billings starter Wes Mugarian entered Monday's game 0-2 with a 10.66 ERA in three starts against the Brewers. Monday was a different story as Mugarian shut down Helena, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out nine in the victory. Tommy Toledo (0-2) went five innings for the Brewers, shutting out Billings in the first four before surrendering back-to-back homers to Kyle Waldrop and Ryan Wright to start the fifth. Kevin Shackelford relieved Toledo in the sixth, allowing one run on two hits and Seth Harvey went the final three innings, allowing just three hits and one walk and striking out five. John Dishon had three of Helena's four hits on the evening, raising his average to .308 on the year. The teams wrap up a two-game set Tuesday at Kindrick Legion Field, Government Tuesday. Helena Box Score Parker Berberet doubled for the only other Helena hit. If one other Brewers player had to be the one to get a hit on Mustache Night, it had to be Parker. Harvey put up another impressive line, with his fourth straight scoreless outing. In that span of games: 9 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, 15 K Helena Play-by-Play Berberet also shifted to catcher after Tyler Roberts got tossed in the 8th: Billings Top of the 8th Kurtis Muller doubles (7) on a ground ball to left fielder Benjamin McMahan.

Final: Nashville 6, @Reno 4 Sounds Come Back To Score Three In The Ninth, Win 6-4 In Reno Nashville Has Won 12 Of Their Last 16 Road Games RENO, Nev. - The Nashville Sounds scored six unanswered runs in a come-from-behind, 6-4 victory over the Reno Aces on Monday night at Aces Ballpark, highlighted by a go-ahead, two-run homer by Taylor Green in the top of the ninth inning. Entering the ninth trailing 4-3, outfielder Logan Schafer singled off pitcher Sam Demel to lead off the frame and advanced to second on a Lucas May passed ball. Schafer would then score the tying run as Eric Farris ripped an RBI single over the second baseman's head into right field. Green followed by hammering a two-run homer down the right field line for his 20th of the season. The win was Nashville's (58-59) ninth come-from-behind victory when trailing in the 7th inning of later this season and 12th last at-bat win. Schafer, Green and Jordan Brown all had two hits in the game, while Mat Gamel extended his hitting streak to eight games with a hit in the ninth. The Aces batted around and scored all four runs on Sounds starter Sam Narron in the bottom of the second, who threw 34 pitches in the frame. May doubled home former Sounds outfielder Cole Gillespie for the first run. A two-out RBI double from pitcher Barry Enright, followed by RBI singles by Evan Frey and Mark Hallberg accounted for the club's other runs for an early 4-0 advantage. Narron worked a leadoff walk to open the third inning and moved to second as Schafer bunted a perfectly-placed grounder down the third base line. Narron advanced to third on a Brown groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly when Farris belted a fly ball to center field. Martin Maldonado brought the Sounds within one run at 4-3 in the next inning, as the backstop blasted an opposite-field two-run homer over the right field wall. Edwin Maysonet reached earlier in the frame after being hit by a pitch from Enright and scored on Maldonado's third homer in his last four games. Narron surrendered four runs in five innings pitched, all in the second inning. The tall left-hander also gave up eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts. In his first game since coming off the disabled list, right-hander Sean Green struck out two in a scoreless inning. For a third consecutive day, right-hander Donovan Hand pitched a scoreless appearance. Zack Segovia (5-3) picked up the win while adding a perfect inning. Randy Flores worked around a hit while striking out two to notch his first save of the season. Enright tossed a quality start in a no-decision, allowing three runs on six hits in six innings. Sam Demel (0-3) took home the blown save and loss with three runs in the ninth. The Sounds and Aces continue their four-game series at 9:05 pm CT on Tuesday night at Aces Ballpark. Right-hander Mike Fiers (4-0, 1.73) will take the mound for Nashville and face Reno right-hander Kevin Mulvey (3-5, 6.98) Nashville Box Score Farris & Brown completed a double-steal of 3B & 2B in the seventh inning, while Maldonado threw out the only Aces attempted basestealer of the game in the first. Maysonet & Caleb Gindl each walked twice; Gindl otherwise went 0-3. Erick Almonte, Brandon Boggs, & Andy/Angel Gonzalez were all retired in their only pinch-hit appearances. Gonzalez is listed as Andy now at Nashville; he'd been listed as "Angel" while with the Stars. Apologies if this has already been covered. Gonzalez could actually be a September callup candidate, as he walked 31 times over 147 ABs in AA this season, with a 1-1 K/BB ratio. He's been with the Sounds for 14 games so far, and if he's a solid defender, he could probably help (listed at 6'3" & 215 lbs., I have to wonder if he has the range for the position... hope he does).

I didn't remember that, thanks kramnoj. Why would you put Peralta on the roster? He's pitched as well this season as he ever has as a professional. His FB has been reported to have touched 98... and even if you're rightfully skeptical of that*, it's no stretch to say that the Brewers could be adding a reliever that can operate around 95 or more with the fastball. On top of that, he's a K/GB combo pitcher, which isn't common. Just seems like a perfect fit in the 'pen, and he's stretched out so he could be used for multiple innings. Plus he was in the running for the 5th spot in the rotation for at least a little while this ST, so someone in the organization thinks he's pretty close to MLB-ready. * fwiw, in this John Sickels piece from '09, he noted: "[Peralta] had the best stuff of anyone in the series, hitting a consistent 93-95 MPH. Scouts told me they'd seen him as high as 98 earlier in the year. ... excellent K/IP mark reflects the plus stuff."

M. Williams from the Wild Things. Perfect.

This makes too much sense to ever happen. I know. Even sadder to me, is that even if my roster *did* happen, I'm confident Counsell would be Roenicke's first LH pinch-hitter off the bench. Lopez would probably be second.

It has a couple negatives...all teams do. http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?t=25508 Most contending teams don't have nearly as much negative value as the Brewers do this season. I enjoy this team, but if they want to make a serious run at the WS, the major weaknesses should've already been addressed.

My postseason roster, not what I think the Brewers will do: SP: Greinke, Gallardo, Marcum, Wolf RP: Axford, Rodriguez, Hawkins, Saito, Loe, Narveson, Peralta* C: Lucroy, Kottaras IF: Fielder, Weeks, Betancourt, McGehee, Green**, Gamel*, Counsell, Lopez† OF: Braun, Hart, Morgan, Hairston * - Peralta & Gamel would have to be added to the 25-man by Aug. 31; move Dillard out for Peralta, DFA Kotsay for Gamel † - If Gomez is back & healthy, I'd take Gomez over Lopez ** - Green would have to be added to the 40-man roster (I believe it's currently at 39, but Kintzler could be added to the 60-man if a spot is needed & he's not expected back in time); Green would also have to be added to the 25-main by Aug. 31; DFA Wilson for Green I firmly believe Green & Gamel being available for the postseason roster is the kind of marginal decision that could make a significant impact in short series. That's two lefty bats with power & good discipline off the bench, contrasted with the current count of zero. In addition to their regular positions, Gamel could be an emergency corner OF (no worse defensively than Kotsay) or 3B, Green an emergency 2B. Hairston's ability to play all over imo would cover depth both in the IF & OF.

It is amazing the amount of negativity that surrounds him. Yes, he is a bad player and one of the worst starting SS in baseball. I won't argue that. Every team has below average players. Below average /= one of the worst at his position in MLB

Agreed. Which makes the statistical accomplishments valid imo, but only really against players from the same (roughly) era. I actually shared LouisEly's affinity for those early '90s Indians teams, & also like him, I loved Thome. I even remember when he was a "third baseman"

Even though he's never been caught or anything, Thome is always a guy I assumed was juicing.

Yo was a year younger had way more K's, and gave up way less hits. I dont know if I would say Odorizzi is an excellent prospect. Very good but not elite. On the one hand, you say he shouldn't be expected to dominate, but then the counterexample is Yo completely dominating AA. I would just say that, for me, it's too early to draw a conclusion on whether Odorizzi is a lesser prospect than Gallardo was or not. I get your larger point, which is that Yo's peripherals even translated well to AA... for me, that's part of dominating. I don't think Odorizzi has good odds to develop into the pitcher Yo has, but not many prospects do. I still think Odorizzi is a very good (if excellent is too strong for your taste http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif ) prospect. Now, if he can't improve on his mid-4's ERA next season in repeating AA, then I guess I'd be concerned. Gallardo had a 5+ ERA at AAA in '08, only 15.2 IP to Odorizzi's 34.1 this season at AA. Odorizzi's only made 6 starts at that level, it's just too small a sample for me to say that I'd let that hamper my opinion of him much. Tools are probably a more accurate way to gauge a 21-yo pitcher, but I hear you on the decreased K rate (though Wily Peralta is an example of K rate dropping... then jumping back up). Just too short of time for me to let it affect what I think he can become. Has he been as dominant as Yo was at AA? No. Do I still think he's a very good/excellent prospect? Yes. Anyway... Lawrie http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. I have to agree with SoCal Brew Crew Fan. Lawrie looks huge in the picture included in the lead post's linked article.

Odorizzi dominated high-A & hasn't had the same success in his first crack at AA as a 21-yo. I don't think he should be or should have been expected to dominate like he did in A-ball at every step of the way. He's still an excellent prospect. Anthopoulos has done a nice job so far as GM in Toronto. I think a young offensive core of Lawrie & Rasmus is pretty good work. Blending that with bats like Bautista, Lind, & Escobar, & pitching like Romero & some of the young guys on their way to the bigs means that Toronto will have a shot at contending sooner rather than later (imo). And Anthopoulos has shown that he's very willing to move veterans for prospects, so you could probably even see Bautista/Lind/Escobar spun into more youth to really re-tool around Lawrie/Rasmus/Romero/Drabek/etc., if the Jays are fully invested in that wave of players as their main plan.

Final: Nashville 11, @Colorado Springs 4 Sounds Defeat Sky Sox, 11-4 Nashville Offense Stay Hot With 20-Hit Effort Nashville Sounds COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Nashville Sounds defeated the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, 11-4, on Friday evening at Security Service Field. The Nashville offense continued to thrive in the thin mountain air, legging out 20 hits one night after tying the franchise record of 24 the previous evening. Every Sounds position player recorded a hit in the contest, led by three-knock efforts from Logan Schafer, Jordan Brown, Eric Farris, Taylor Green, and Martin Maldonado, who homered for the second straight night. Nashville (56-58) took an early lead with two runs in the top of the first inning against Colorado Springs starter Alan Johnson. With one out, Brown and Farris hit consecutive doubles to put runners on second and third. Brown scored the evening's first run on a Green groundout before Farris came plateward on Mat Gamel's two-out RBI single. The Sounds upped the lead to 3-0 in the second when Maldonado led off with a single and later scored on Schafer's RBI double to right. Schafer (3-for-5) continued his red-hot start to his Triple-A career. The outfielder has hit safely in 14 of his 15 games with the Sounds at a .429 clip (27-for-63). Tonight's contest marked his ninth multiple-hit effort with Nashville. Colorado Springs got on the board in the home half of the second when Jorge Cantu drew an inning-opening walk from Josh Butler and later scored on Ryan Rohlinger's one-out single to left. Nashville plated three more runs in the fourth to extend its lead to 6-1. Maldonado led off with his second homer of the year, a solo shot to left off Johnson. Later in the inning, Brown and Farris each singled with two outs before each scored on Green's two-run double to right, his team-leading 31st two-bagger of the year. The Sounds tacked on two more in the fifth after loading the bases with no outs against Johnson. Butler helped his own cause by drawing a walk to force home Edwin Maysonet, who had been hit by a pitch to lead off the frame. Schafer followed with a sacrifice fly to plate Gindl (single) to up the lead to 8-1. Rohlinger (4-for-4) drove in another run for the Sky Sox in the bottom of the sixth when his two-out single off Butler brought in Cantu. Colorado Springs scored two more runs in the eighth against Sounds reliever Mike McClendon, pulling the home team within 8-4. Cantu smashed an RBI double to center then scored on a Jordan Pacheco sacrifice fly. The Sounds answered the Sky Sox's two runs with three of their own in the top of the ninth to close out the evening's scoring. Maysonet closed he led off with a towering homer to left field off Sky Sox reliever Eric Stults, his second longball of the year and first since Opening Day. Later in the inning, Schafer (single) and Brown (double) added two-out, run-scoring hits to bring the score to its final 11-4 standing. Butler (7-6) picked up the win by tossing his sixth quality start of the year, holding the Sky Sox to two runs on eight hits with four strikeouts over six innings of work. In his last eight starts, the right-hander has posted a 3.09 ERA (15er/43.2ip). Johnson (4-8) absorbed the loss after surrendering eight runs on 14 hits in four-plus innings of action. The teams wrap up the series with an 8:05 p.m. CT finale on Saturday evening. Right-hander Amaury Rivas (7-11, 5.22) will take the hill for the Sounds to face Colorado Springs right-hander Edgar Gonzalez (3-3, 5.14). Nashville Box Score Green finished with two doubles & one single; Gamel's RBI single was his lone hit on the game. Caleb Gindl was 2-5 with a double. Schafer & Farris each had one double, while Brown doubled twice. Danny Herrera & Jim Henderson each worked scoreless innings of relief, & neither reliever allowed a hit. Nashville Play-by-Play The Sounds got off to a good start, & didn't slow down in this one: Nashville Top of the 1st Logan Schafer singles on a fly ball to center fielder Joe Mather. Logan Schafer out at 2nd, center fielder Joe Mather to shortstop Ryan Rohlinger. Jordan Brown doubles (21) on a fly ball to center fielder Joe Mather. Eric Farris doubles (19) on a fly ball to center fielder Joe Mather. Jordan Brown to 3rd. Taylor Green grounds out, shortstop Ryan Rohlinger to first baseman Mike Jacobs. Jordan Brown scores. Mat Gamel singles on a line drive to left fielder Mike Paulk. Eric Farris scores. Edwin Maysonet singles on a fly ball to left fielder Mike Paulk. Mat Gamel to 2nd. Caleb Gindl grounds out, shortstop Ryan Rohlinger to first baseman Mike Jacobs. Don Money's lineups are pretty hard on the eyes. Not only is Farris routinely batting third, but Maysonet ahead of Gindl? Not money. Nashville Gameday

Final: Great Falls 2, @Helena 1 Brewers Can't Capitalize, Swept by Voyagers By Nicholas Allen Andy Moye (4-1) took his first professional loss with a performance that would most often result in a victory. The right-hander went seven strong innings in which he allowed two runs, neither of which were earned. Moye allowed four hits, one walk and struck out a career high eight. Jacob Barnes allowed just one walk in two scoreless innings and fanned four. The Brewers took an early lead when John Dishon scored on Ben McMahan's RBI single in the third. However, that was the only run Helena could muster, leaving eight men on base, going 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position. The Brewers head to Missoula for a weekend set against the Osprey. Saturday the Brewers send Drew Gagnon (0-1, 3.86) a third-round pick in 2011 from Long Beach State, to the mound to face Raymond Hernandez (5-0, 3.15). Helena returns August 8 to Kindrick Legion field for Moustache Monday, brought to you by the Bruigher Beard Club with $1 general admission to anyone sporting a moustache. Helena Box Score McMahan added a double to his RBI single. Dishon was 1-3 with a walk & two stolen bases. Mike Nemeth had a single & two walks. Parker Berberet, perhaps the inspiration for Mustache Monday, walked once. Helena Play-by-Play

Final: @Nashville 19, Colorado Springs 0 Sounds Blow Out Sky Sox In Twinbill Opener Nashville Ties Club Record For Hits In 19-0 Rout Nashville Sounds COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Nashville Sounds blew out Colorado Springs, 19-0, in the opener of a doubleheader on Thursday at Security Service Field. Nashville belted a season-high five home runs while tying a team record with 24 hits in the contest. Nashville (55-57) tied a team record by legging out 24 hits on the night, including a season-high five home runs in the seven-inning contest. It marked the Sounds' first five-homer effort since August 2008. All three of the Sounds' 24-hit outbursts in club history have occurred in Colorado Springs. The 19 runs scored matched Nashville's season high and fell one short of the team's single-game record. Every Sounds starter, including the pitcher, recorded a multiple-hit effort, scored a run, and drove in a run in the game. Logan Schafer went 4-for-5, including his first career Triple-A homer, with three RBIs and three runs scored to lead the Sounds' offensive attack. He continues his strong start to his Nashville career, hitting safely in 12 of 13 contests at a .426 clip (23-for-54). After being retired in order in the first, the Sounds scored in each of the next six innings, including five multiple-run frames, and batted around on three different occasions. Right-hander Mike Fiers (4-0) continued his outstanding pitching for Nashville to earn his fourth win in his first four Triple-A starts. He worked six scoreless innings, scattering five hits while striking out seven batters during his 86-pitch effort. In his last 12 starts between Nashville and Double-A Huntsville, Fiers is 7-2 with an impressive 1.83 ERA (14er/68.2ip). The start of the game was delayed by over 2 ½ hours due to rain. Nashville got things started in the second when Taylor Green and Mat Gamel led off the frame with the Sounds' fifth set of back-to-back homers this season. The homers, against Sky Sox right-hander Clayton Mortensen, were Green's 18th and Gamel's team-leading 24th of the season. After Nashville added an unearned run in the third stemming from a throwing error by Colorado Springs shortstop Ryan Rohlinger, the Sounds put the game out of reach with a five-run outburst in the fourth using seven consecutive two-out hits to extend the lead to 8-0 and chase the Sky Sox starter from the contest. Highlights of the Nashville fourth, which saw 10 batters come to the plate, included catcher Martin Maldonado's first Triple-A homer of the season, a solo shot to center, a two-run Jordan Brown double, and run-scoring singles by Eric Farris and Green. Logan Schafer staked the Sounds to a double-digit lead in the fifth when he belted his first career Triple-A homer, a two-out, two-run shot to right-center off Sky Sox reliever Blake Johnson. The Sounds tacked on five more scores in the sixth as 10 batters came to the plate in the frame against Johnson. The first eight batters of the inning reached base safely as the visitors increased their lead to 15-0. Sky Sox infielder Warren Schaeffer took over on the hill in the seventh to make his third career pitching appearance and surrendered four runs, two of them coming on a monstrous two-run homer by Caleb Gindl off the hitter's eye screen in dead center. The blast was Gindl's 14th of the year. Left-hander Randy Flores made his Sounds debut by pitching a scoreless seventh inning, allowing no hits while walking one batter and striking out a pair. Mortensen (1-6) took the loss for Colorado Springs after surrendering eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits in just 3 2/3 innings of work. Nashville Box Score This was the fifth time Nashville has scored at least 13 runs in 2011. Schafer had four hits, a home run, three RBI, one walk, & three runs. Jordan Brown, Gamel, & Green each had three hits; Farris, Edwin Maysonet, Gindl, Maldonado, & even Fiers had two. If you're keeping score at home, Schafer, Green, Gamel, Gindl, & Maldonado each had homers; Brown, Farris, & Maysonet added doubles. Nashville Play-by-Play 4th inning, 'everything after two' with seven hits in a row: Nashville Top of the 4th Edwin Maysonet bunt grounds out, pitcher Clayton Mortensen to first baseman Mike Jacobs.

Edwin Maysonet grounds into a force out, fielded by shortstop Ryan Rohlinger. Mat Gamel out at 2nd. Nashville Gameday

It bugs me that Kotsay, Wilson, Betancourt, and even Counsell have been kept on the 25-man from day one, when the Brewers have had alternatives like Gamel, Green, Schafer, Carroll, Boggs, & Gindl to choose from. It's bugged me that McGehee has had an unending leash, too, but I hope he's regained his power stroke & can be a .750-.850 OPS bat the rest of the way.

Final: Great Falls 8, @Helena 2 Helena Box Score The Voyagers scored five runs in the first two innings, knocking starter Mike Strong out after an inning & one-third. Helena pulled to within 5-2 after the second inning, but Great Falls pitching silenced the Brewers the rest of the way. Parker Berberet, Max Walla, John Dishon, & Mike Nemeth had the only Brewers hits, all singles. Dishon also walked twice & threw a runner out at the plate. Nemeth & Kenny Allison both drove in runs in the second inning. Kevin Shackleford allowed one earned run in 4.1 innings of relief. He got the final out of the 2nd inning & pitched three scoreless... until the 6th. Shackleford got the first out of the inning, but then allowed two singles and a double. He picked a runner off first to help dig himself out, but an error charged to Yadiel Rivera allowed a run to score & kept the inning alive for Great Falls. After a single to left off Shackleford, Dishon threw Kyle Eveland out at home to end the inning. After starting out shakily in the seventh, Seth Harvey finished with three scoreless innings, with 1 hit, 4 K/1 BB, & two wild pitches. The hit, WPs, & BB all came in the 7th, and Harvey retired the final six outs in order. Helena Play-by-Play

Final: Great Falls 5, @Helena 2 Walters, Voyagers Beat Brewers 5-2 By Nicholas Allen Blair Walters improved his record to 6-0 on the season for the Great Falls Voyagers, beating the Helena Brewers for the third time this season. The lefty allowed two runs (one earned) on just five hits and struck out eight in seven innings. Brewers starter Tommy Toledo (0-1) held Great Falls scoreless through the first three innings but would get just one out in the fourth, allowing the first three earned runs of his professional career. The Brewers jumped on top in the third after Mike Nemeth doubled to lead off the inning and came around to score on John Dishon's RBI single. With two on and two out, Helena attempted a double steal in which Dishon would score and Parker Berberet would advance to second on a caught stealing error. Great Falls answered immediately in the top of the fourth with three runs, followed by one in the fifth and another in the eighth, bringing the game to its final 5-2 margin. Voyagers leadoff man Qualon Millender led the charge with three hits, a run scored and an RBI. The teams meet again in the second game of a three-game series Thursday at Kindrick Legion Field. Helena Box Score Dishon, Yadiel Rivera, Kenny Allison, & Adrian Williams each had singles. Nemeth's double was the only extra-base hit for the Brewers. Allison, Berberet, & Williams were each charged with a CS. Helena Play-by-Play Max Walla came up with a defensive gem in the 5th inning: Great Falls Top of the 5th Jeffer Patino grounds out, second baseman Adrian Williams to first baseman Parker Berberet. Randall Thorpe reaches on fielding error by shortstop Yadiel Rivera. With Qualon Millender batting, Randall Thorpe steals (9) 2nd base. Qualon Millender triples (4) on a fly ball to right fielder Max Walla. Randall Thorpe scores. David Herbek flies into double play, right fielder Max Walla to catcher Tyler Roberts. Qualon Millender out at home on the throw. That's called picking up your shortstop, pitcher, & catcher with one throw. Might've even picked himself up, too. Triples often seem to be outfield misplays that don't qualify as errors.

Final: @BC 8, Dunedin 7, 10 innings 'Tees rally from seven down to snap skid Down 7-0 after six, BC wins in extras to end five-game losing streak By Frank Longobardo / Brevard County Manatees VIERA, Fla. -- The Brevard County Manatees rallied from a 7-0 deficit to defeat the Dunedin Blue Jays, 8-7 in 10 innings on Wednesday night at Space Coast Stadium and snap a five-game losing streak. Mark Rogers, one of Milwaukee's top pitching prospects, made his first start since a rehab stint in Arizona and was perfect in his first two innings of work, but ran into trouble in the third. After allowing a lead-off homer in the inning to Kevin Ahrens, Rogers walked back-to-back hitters and then walked back-to-back hitters as Dunedin plated another run. After a strike out and a sacrifice fly, Rogers allowed back-to-back walks again and was then relieved by Evan Anundsen. Rogers went 2 2/3 innings and allowed four runs (all earned), while giving up three hits and walking four. Anundsen struggled as well as he gave up two homers in his 3 1/3 innings of work as the Blue Jays opened up a 7-0 lead going into the seventh inning. Dunedin starter Drew Hutchinson was taken out after six and the 'Tees began an offensive assault on the Blue Jays' bullpen. Hunter Morris and Shea Vucinich led the inning off with back-to-back singles off of Justin Phillabaum. Chuck Caufield then walked to load the bases and two batters later, Chris Dennis drew a bases-loaded walk to give the 'Tees (44-62 overall, 17-19 second half) their first run of the game. Two batters later and with two outs, Scooter Gennett singled to drive in Vucinich and Caufield and make it a 7-3 deficit. Matt Wright would then come in to replace Phillabaum and he proceeded to walk Kentrail Davis to load the bases again for Brevard County. D'Vontrey Richardson then hit a hot-shot to third on the first pitch he saw, that Ahrens couldn't handle which led to Dennis scoring to make it a 7-4 game. Hunter Morris then singled through the hole on the right side to plate Davis and Richardson and cut it to just a one run deficit. Scott Gracey came in for Wright and got the final out of the inning, but not before the 'Tees put six on the board. After Rolando Pascual's second scoreless inning of work, Juan Sanchez's one-out single in the bottom of the eighth to score Caufield knotted the game up at 7-7. It would remain 7-7 until the bottom of the tenth as Caufield led the inning off with a double. Shawn Zarraga would sacrifice Caufield over to third and put the winning run 90 feet away. Scott Krieger pinch-hit for Dennis and struck out and then Dunedin (59-50, 20-19) wanted a lefty-lefty match-up so they decided to intentionally walk Sanchez and have Aaron Loup face Brevard County's best hitter in Gennett. Gennett made the Blue Jays pay for wanting to pitch to him as he singled to right to score Caufield to win the game and end a game that lasted almost three and a half hours, not including an hour rain delay. Bradley Blanks picked up the win in two scoreless innings of relief. Gennett went 3-for-6 with three RBI. Morris, Caufield and Sanchez all had two hits each as well. Brevard County and Dunedin will continue their three-game series on Thursday night at 7:05 PM (6:05 Central). Hiram Burgos (3-6, 4.66) will take the hill for the Manatees, while Ryan Tepera (8-5, 4.63) will toe the rubber for the Blue Jays. BC Box Score BC Play-by-Play

Sounds, Sky Sox Rained Out On Wednesday Night In Colorado Springs Teams Will Make Up Contest As Part Of Thursday Doubleheader Nashville Sounds COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Wednesday evening's scheduled opener of a four-game series between the Nashville Sounds and Colorado Springs Sky Sox at Security Service Field was postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as part of a 6:05 pm CT scheduled doubleheader, consisting of two seven-inning contetsts on Thursday evening.
