Audio of Caleb Gindl's two-run 1st inning home run -- perhaps because it was a first inning shot and not a no-doubter, Stu's call was unusually straightforward...

Can't help but think of this guy whenever we see the name of AZL undrafted catcher Jimmie Pharr -- the linked man turned 77 this past week, wow...

Final: AZL Cubs 9, @AZL Brewers 3 Arizona Box Score A-Crew falls to 2-9 with eight losses in a row; 19-year-old (20 in September) Jeffrey Saba, a DSL promotee, is listed at 6'2", 152, so his K numbers from last year and this don't suggest power pitcher, at least for now -- he did fan four in five innings here, allowing three runs, two earned; soon-to-be 19-year-old non-drafted LHP Will West struggled in an inning plus, while a more advanced non-drafted free agent, UC-Santa Barbara's Greg Davis, allowed both runners to score after inheriting West's 1st and 3rd, no out situation in the 7th while also allowing a run of his own. 50th round high school OF Matt Franco is only 3-for-22 after seven games played, but he's walked seven times for a .345 OBP, and the lefty bat was on base all four times here out of the nine-hole; another lefty bat, 23-year-old Steve Felix (undrafted out of Troy University in 2010) is rocking a 1.411 OPS after eight games played -- he's also 4-for-4 in SB attempts and since those numbers may never be prettier in his pro career, we'll let you view them here; former DSL OF's Jose Garcia (two hits here) and Ronny Puello (now 1-for-17) have only appeared in five games each out of eleven, while 18-year-old 9th round pick CF Malcolm Dowell (6-for-36, all singles, 17 K's) has played in ten contests thus far... Arizona Play-by-Play

Final: Helena 3, @Great Falls 0 Heleba Independent Record recaps the road game -- GREAT FALLS — Helena Brewers starting pitcher Andy Moye sparkled in six strong innings of work, and his teammates took advantage of a pair of wild pitches from his counterpart to breeze to a 3-0 blanking of the hosting Great Falls Voyagers on Sunday afternoon. Moye allowed just three singles, struck out six and did not surrender a walk in helping Helena improve to 8-6 on the season. Moye improved to 2-0 on the year with the effort. It was Moye's second straight start against the Voyagers, after going five scoreless in a winning effort earlier in the week. Great Falls starter Samuel Phippen allowed just three hits and struck out six himself in five innings of work, but hurt his team’s effort with an erratic top of the fifth. Phippen surrendered a leadoff single to Brewers first baseman Parker Berberet in the frame and followed up with a wild pitch to move Berberet to second. Phippen then walked Helena catcher Tyler Roberts and advanced both runners into scoring position with another wild pitch. Sacrifice grounders from Brewers right fielder Max Walla and third baseman Kyle Dhanani plated both of their teammates. Left fielder Robbie Garvey drew a walk of his own before second baseman Gant Elmore grounded out to end the frame. Walla singled in Roberts in the top of the seventh to provide the final margin. Walla finished 1-for-3 at the plate, including his two RBIs, to lead the Helena offense. Berberet and center fielder Ruben Ozuna each went 2-for-4 on the night. David Goforth allowed just one hit, no walks and struck out two in three innings for his first save. Helena Box Score RHP Andy Moye, this year's 15th round pick out of Georgia Southern, doing exactly what he should be doing as a pitcher who will turn 24 in two months; now with a 16-to-1 K-to-BB ratio in 14 innings; 7th round pick David Goforth (University of Mississippi) is a year younger -- we congratulate both on a fine night, but with tempered enthusiasm, naturally; Tyler Roberts a double and two walks, and while he'll always be Ruben Sanchez to me, glad to see Ruben Ozuna survived his wall collision from Saturday with no residual efects...

Voyagers rally for victory by Jesse Geleynse, Great Falls Tribune The Great Falls Voyagers are quickly learning how difficult it can be for a baseball team to climb out of an early hole. Turns out it is difficult, but not impossible. Despite finding itself in a six-run deficit before coming to bat for the second time, the Voyagers kept chipping away and went on to defeat Pioneer League North Division co-leader Missoula 9-8 in come-from-behind fashion in front of 2,094 fans on Saturday at Centene Stadium. Trailing 8-5 in the bottom of the eighth, the Voyagers rallied. Michael Earley walked and Mark Haddow followed with a home run to cut the deficit to 8-7. After a pair of strikeouts, Andrew Douglas stroked a triple to right-center. Qualon Millender's single scored Douglas with the tying run and David Herbek followed with an RBI double to drive in Millender with the winning run. The comeback made a winner out of Joseph Dvorsky (1-0), who pitched 1 1/3 perfect innings of relief, fanning three. With the win, the Voyagers improve to 6-7 and are all alone in third place in the North Division. Helena fell to second place at 7-6, behind Billings, which defeated fourth-place Missoula on Saturday. It didn't look promising at the outset for Great Falls, as starter Jarrett Casey allowed six runs and 10 hits in the first two innings. Casey had not allowed an earned run in either of his two previous starts this season, the last of which was a 10-3 win over these same Helena Brewers. But the second-year pro out of Northern Kentucky University was not sharp from the outset, surrendering his first earned run of 2011 in the first inning. The Brewers added five more runs in the top of the second. Mike Nemeth led off with a single and one out later, back-to-back singles from Ruben Ozuna and Williams scored Nemeth. Ozuna scored on an error and Williams came home on an RBI single from Yadiel Rivera. A two-run single by Max Walla scored two more and Helena led 6-0. Then Great Falls went to work. The Voyagers cut the deficit to 6-2 in the bottom of the frame as Earley led off with a hit and Haddow followed with a walk. Martin Medina's RBI single scored Earley and an RBI groundout by Brent Tanner chased home Haddow Tanner led off the bottom of the fifth with a double and later scored on Millender's sacrifice fly to pull to within 7-3. But the Brewers answered in the top of the sixth when Walla's RBI single scored Parker Berberet. A Haddow groundout scored Joe De Pinto in the bottom of the sixth to cut the deficit to 8-4 and Andrew Douglas' inside-the-park home run cut the deficit to 8-5 as Brewers center fielder Ozuna crashed into the fence in right-center. That was the score heading into the eighth, when the Voyagers rallied. It was the second consecutive one-run home win for the Voyagers, who won 8-7 in walk-off fashion last Sunday over Missoula. Douglas was the only Voyagers hitter with more than one hit as Great Falls pounded out nine. Tanner, De Pinto and Herbek each doubled, while Earley, Millender and Medina each singled. Alex Jones took the loss for Helena, which will return to Great Falls for a 1:00 PM contest today (2:00 Central). Notes: All nine players in the starting lineup for Helena had a hit after three innings of play...Great Falls manager Ryan Newman was ejected in the fifth inning after arguing that a Chad Pierce pitch had hit Voyagers hitter Millender...Haddow's home run came on an 0-2 pitch from Brewers pitcher Thomas Keeling...The Voyagers are now 2-1 against Helena on the season...Sunday's game will feature the Voyagers' Sam Phippen (0-1, 4.82) against Helena's Andy Moye (1-0, 3.38). *** The Helena Independent Record summarized this road contest -- GREAT FALLS — The Great Falls Voyagers used a four-run rally in the eighth inning Saturday to push past the visiting Helena Brewers, 9-8, knocking the Brew Crew into second place in the Pioneer League North Division. It was the Brewers’ ninth game decided by one run this season. Helena falls to 7-6. The Voyagers (6-7) trailed 8-5 entering the home half of the eighth inning, in a sloppy game marred by six errors — four at the hands of the hosts. Mark Haddow hit a two-run homer to left off of Thomas Keeling, chasing the Brewers lefty. Alex Jones entered in relief and struck out the first two batters he faced, but Andrew Douglas struck a two-out triple. Qualon Millender followed with an RBI single to tie the game, then advanced to second on a wild pitch. That set up David Herbek for his game-winning double. Helena sent just three up in the ninth, as the comeback kids failed to put together a rally as they’ve done so many times. The Brewers broke the game wide open in the second frame, going on a hit parade and busting out five runs. In just two innings, all but one Helena batter had recorded a hit, and the Brewers pounded out a season-high 14 in the contest. Douglas led the Voyagers at the plate, going 2 for 4 with two runs scored and an RBI. He was the only Great Falls player with multiple hits. Meanwhile five different Brewers had at least two hits, with right fielder Max Walla’s 2-for-4, three RBI performance leading the way. Helena stranded a dozen runners on base, eight of them in scoring position with two outs. The Brewers did hit .333 (6 for 18) with runners in scoring position, however. Helena batsmen also struck out 11 times in the contest. Voyagers reliever Joe Dvorsky picked up his first win of the season, hurling a no-hitter in the final 1 1/3 innings. Jones was tagged with his first defeat for Helena. CLOSE CALL: Helena center fielder Ruben Ozuna hit the fence hard while chasing Andrew Douglas' inside-the-park home run, leading to a crash audible in the stands. After a several-minute delay, Ozuna remained in the game...the Voyagers' Douglas finished 2-for-4 with his home run and a triple... Helena Box Score LHP Mike Strong fared the best of the four Brewer hurlers (two ER in his four-inning start); five Brewers had two hits apiece; Yadiel Rivera (1-for-6) gets his name mentioned because he was the only Brewer not to reach base at least twice, that's reverse Link Report typing logic, saving important keystrokes on a beautiful Sunday AM; DH Parker Berberet reached four times, walking thrice; Tyler Roberts replaced Brent Dean behind the plate to begin the bottom of the 8th, no reason listed; the two "J. Casey's" who pitched for the White Sox' squad aren't twins, or even brothers -- that was kind of disappointing to find out... Helena Play-by-Play The Brewers scored two "add-on" runs once leading 6-2 after two innings, but they needed more -- had their chances: Helena Top of the 6th Pitcher Change: Kevin Rath replaces J. Casey. Nick Ramirez grounds out, first baseman Martin Medina to pitcher Kevin Rath. Parker Berberet walks. With Max Walla batting, passed ball by Brent Tanner, Parker Berberet to 2nd. Max Walla singles on a fly ball to center fielder Qualon Millender. Parker Berberet scores. Brent Dean reaches on fielding error by third baseman Andrew Douglas. Max Walla to 2nd. Michael Nemeth flies out to left fielder Michael Earley. With John Dishon batting, wild pitch by Kevin Rath, Max Walla to 3rd. Brent Dean to 2nd. John Dishon walks. Ruben Ozuna grounds out, second baseman Joe De Pinto to first baseman Martin Medina. Helena Top of the 8th Parker Berberet called out on strikes. Max Walla walks. With Brent Dean batting, Max Walla caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Brent Tanner to second baseman Joe De Pinto. Brent Dean walks. With Michael Nemeth batting, throwing error by Jon Gulbransen on the pickoff attempt, Brent Dean to 3rd. Michael Nemeth walks. Pitcher Change: Joe Dvorsky replaces Jon Gulbransen. With John Dishon batting, Michael Nemeth steals (1) 2nd base. John Dishon strikes out swinging.

Timber Rattlers appreciate time at Miller Park by Mike Woods, Appleton Post-Crescent MILWAUKEE — As the doors opened to the visiting clubhouse at Miller Park, Stosh Wawrzasek's eyes doubled in size as his mouth hit the floor. "Wow," he said. He stopped a few feet inside and scanned the surroundings — the bank of flat screens hanging up in the middle, the handful of black leather couches and all those lockers made from mahogany that encircled the huge room. Finally, he spotted his No. 40 hanging over a locker in the corner. He walked over, set down his bag and pulled out his two Timber Rattlers baseball caps, one for pregame and one for the game. He carefully put them side-by-side on the locker shelf. Then he reached in and grabbed his glove, placed it next to his hats, with his name and number facing forward. Now, it was time to hang a couple of shirts inside the locker. Finally, the crème de la crème: his camera phone. He took a few steps back, bent his knees ever so slightly and went paparazzi on his locker. Like everyone else in that room, the odds of some day being a regular in a major-league clubhouse are long. But for at least one day in their careers, they would live the life. "From my point of view, I think it's a great courtesy for the players to get a taste of what it's all about in Miller Park, which is the ultimate goal," Timber Rattlers manager Matt Erickson said. "To give them a full day, and they don't cut any corners. It's top-notch. It's an awesome day for everybody involved." Once settled, it was only a matter of seconds for the players to make a beeline to the chow line. "With all those options," second baseman Greg Hopkins said, "I was just trying not to get a stomachache before we play. The jambalaya was pretty awesome." Then like any new place, it was time to explore. A couple of players headed out to the field for pictures and, as Chris Dennis was about to take one of Wawrzasek, his 240-pound teammate, he asked; "Do you want me to use the wide angle?" One of the first places that caught their eye was the small room right next to the dugout because, let's face it, it's not every day you find a five-foot Everlast punching bag in the bathroom. "I know they want guys to take their anger out on that instead of taking a bat and smashing the (expletive) out of the lockers," catcher Tony Pechek said. "But I'm not an angry person." This would not be Pechek's first time playing on a big-league field, as growing up near Denver he played at Coors Field three times during his high school days. "You just feel real small for some reason," he said. "Everything goes just straight up. But for that segment in time, you really do feel like a big leaguer. I can tell you that much." This was not Hopkins' first taste of the big time either. Back in his days at St. John's, his was the first team to play a game at the Mets' new playpen, Citi Field — even before the Mets. "That really made a lot of the Mets fans mad," he said. But then Bernie Madoff came along and Mets fans had somewhere else to direct their anger. As the players spread out, a few made their way to the players' lounge, a room that contained one large TV, six bar-sized video games and a remote-controlled massage chair, which Dennis took to quickly. "This is awesome," he said. As he prepared to exit, he tapped the remote. "It even says goodbye to you. Did you hear that? That's unbelievable. I've got to get me one of those, that's for sure." After 90 minutes of getting acquainted in their plush surroundings, the team was taken on a stadium tour, and its first stop was the Brewers clubhouse, where the item that caught the majority of their attention was a WWE championship belt sitting between the lockers of Ryan Braun and Yovani Gallardo. Many players also took pictures of Zach Braddock's locker, the Brewers reliever who made a couple of rehab appearances with the Timber Rattlers earlier this season. Dennis was one who captured an image of Braddock's locker and immediately forwarded it to him. "I asked, 'Is this really better than your locker in Appleton?' " he said. Then it was up to Bob Uecker's radio booth, where the tour guide told a story about the legendary Brewers announcer during the 1964 World Series when he played with St. Louis. During warm-ups prior to Game 7, he said, Uecker grabbed a sousaphone that was on the field for the band that was about to play. Turns out, he took it to the outfield and began to shag fly balls with it before putting it back, with more than a few bumps and bruises. "The bill he got to pay for that sousaphone was about as much as he received for his World Series check," the tour guide said. Before exiting, Pechek took a picture of Uecker's empty chair, and then had a better idea as he handed his camera to a teammate and climbed into the seat. "Welcome fans," he began, doing his best imitation of Uecker from "Major League," "to another season of Indians baseball!" Aside from a team picture in centerfield, the rest of the day was their normal routine. Just in an abnormal setting, one that many will never experience again. "I mean it's no secret that the vast majority will never get to the big leagues," Erickson said. "But the people that don't will always have this memory. "In the past, something like this has never happened. I'm glad that the big-league clubs recognize it and I think minor-league baseball in general is becoming more popular all the time. Because of that proximity and the relationship between the Timber Rattlers and the Brewers being so close, it makes a lot of sense to do something like this." And the players were certainly appreciative, even for a relief pitcher like Wawrzasek, who didn't make it into the game. "It was amazing," he said. "Best experience ever. It was a privilege what we received. It was awesome." A couple of days prior to this game, Hopkins and some of his teammates attended a game at Miller Park as fans. But on this night, Hopkins got to walk in through the players' entrance at the south dock and left knowing he had himself quite the day, driving in four runs, including a three-run homer, in a 5-1 victory over Peoria. But as he headed out the entrance, in front of him stood reality: the awaiting team bus and subsequent 4½-hour ride to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "We were talking about this today. This is the level where there is nothing above this," Hopkins said. "And it seems like that, too. They have everything you need and they take care of you like kings. You want to stay humble throughout the process and I think that's what the good ballplayers do, and it was just kind of cool to see the perspective from this side. Just to visualize what could be in the future. "It's nice to have that in the back of your head. Now you've got a taste of it and now we just keep on playing. It's back to reality, but now we have a light at the end of the tunnel."

Final: @AZL D-Backs 5, AZL Brewers 1 Arizona Box Score Looks like the Maryvale Brewers are playing like Maryvale teams of nearly all years past, with last year's champs an aberration; we detailed the tale of two teenage pitchers, Michael Schaub and Joel Pierce, above; Cameron Garfield was 1-for-4 with two K's as he continues to rehab a knee injury; nine K's and zero walks for Brewer bats, not good; Steve Felix, normally a catcher / DH, played right field and homered for the squad's lone run; 22-year-old catcher Adam Weisenburger doubled and singled and has been sharp all along here in the early going... Arizona Play-by-Play

So the DSL boys finally made up their earlier home game rainout in Game Two. Wonder if they did it like Mets / Yankees in 2000 (and a couple of times since, I believe) -- y'know, two different complexes in Santo Domingo.

Final: @Great Falls 9, Helena 8 Ouch... Feel free to browse the box and log if you're a middle of the night reader, but we'll wait for the overnight newspaper reports to fill in all the how's and why's in the early AM.

In progress: Maryvale Brewers over the baby D-Backs, 1-0, bottom of the 6th in Phoenix Recently-turned 19-year-old RHP Michael Schaub (our "man of mystery" because we've yet to read a scouting report or feature story on him in the year he's been in the system) worked hard to get through five well-earned scoreless innings. In Schaub's first outing on 6/22, he fanned 11 in five scoreless innings. He followed that up with a solid four-inning effort (2 ER) in which he fanned only one. Tonight he spread out five hits and two walks in the five scoreless frames, and he didn't fan a batter, basically a bizarro image of that first effort. He should be credited big-time tonight for bearing down in 112 degree "cloudy" heat (I think 115 is the Link Report record), as evidenced in his two final innings in particular -- kudos, young man...
