Jacob Messer of the Daily Mail does an awesome job for us, producing stories even when the Power's on extended road trips. Here's the latest: Link while active, text follows -- www.dailymail.com/story/S...er+hitter/ 'Tee-Ball' stance turns around Power hitter Jacob Messer Charleston Daily Mail Sportswriter With advice and encouragement from his West Virginia Power hitting coach, Stephen Chapman knew what he needed to do to end an early-season slump. It's called getting back to the basics. Chapman hit .091 (2-for-22) with one run and one RBI in his first seven games. He also had 11 strikeouts compared to one walk during that stretch. Chapman has hit .387 (19-for-49) with 16 runs and 18 RBI in his last 13 games. He also decreased the frequency of his strikeouts (12) and increased the frequency of his walks (seven) in that span. The difference? Let Chapman tell that story. "When I first got to Charleston, I was trying to do too much," Chapman said in a pre-game telephone interview Thursday, before going 2-for-3 with two walks and two RBI in the Power's 10-5 road win over the Hagerstown (Md.) Suns. "I was feeling good at the plate, but I was swinging too hard. I was seeing the ball fine. I was just missing it. I would miss fastballs right down the plate. I was baffled." He also was discouraged. "When you aren't even hitting your own weight, it's pretty frustrating," Chapman said. "But when you hit rock bottom, there's only one way to go and that's up." Enter Corey Hart, the Power's first-year hitting coach. Chapman explained, "Corey came up to me in the locker room and said, ?I was sitting on the couch thinking about you the other day.' Then, he told me, ?I want you to get in your Tee-Ball stance. Just put the bat on your shoulder and as the pitcher starts his windup, take your load back, then take a nice, short and easy swing to the ball.' "It worked. I have been hitting the ball well ever since." Winners of 17 of their last 19 games, Chapman and his teammates return to Charleston today to start a four-game South Atlantic League series against the Lexington (Ky.) Legends at Appalachian Power Park. The Northern Division-leading Power (19-5) will start left-hander Brae Wright (1-1, 5.84) in the series opener at 7:05 tonight (6:05 Central). The Legends (12-15) will throw left-hander Dave Qualben (3-1, 1.90). Chapman enters the homestand hitting .296 (21-for-71) with two triples, three homers, four doubles, 17 runs and 19 RBI. Chapman's playing time increased significantly thanks to a hip flexor injury to fellow outfielder Michael Brantley, whom Power Manager Mike Guerrero has used as a first baseman and designated hitter as he plays through the pain. "I don't wish for anyone to go on the disabled list, but it gives me an opportunity to show (Guerrero) I can hit the ball," Chapman said. "It's very hard to get into a rhythm at the plate when you're not playing. Even if you're playing every other day, you still can't carry it over from day to day." Hart is pleased with Chapman's turnaround. "He's getting in a better position and giving himself a better chance to hit now," Hart said of Chapman, a 6-foot, 185-pound outfielder who bats and throws left-handed. "He's starting (his swing) on time now. He was starting a little late before. You have less than a second to figure out what pitch is coming and put good wood on it. "Timing is the key." The same can be said about Chapman's career, which began in 2004 after the Milwaukee Brewers selected him in the sixth round of the Major League Baseball Draft with the 166th overall pick. Baseball America ranks Chapman as the No. 28 overall prospect in the Brewers' minor-league system. The publication describes him as "a well-rounded player with solid tools across the board," one who "remains a work in progress and could be another in a series of late bloomers in their system." Chapman, 21, spent his second consecutive season at Helena (Mont.) last year playing with the Brewers' short-season, high-level rookie club. He was briefly promoted to West Virginia last year but played in only six games. Rather than waste his talent on the bench in Charleston, the Brewers decided to use it in Helena. As expected, the demotion initially angered and annoyed Chapman, but he admits that it ultimately helped him. "I wasn't getting any playing time or at-bats here," said Chapman, an Auburn University recruit who bypassed college for a $159,000 signing bonus. "You can't get better that way." Returning to Helena "helped me find my swing and get my confidence back," said Chapman, who hit .308 with 40 RBI and 50 runs in 70 games there last season. "I played pretty much every single day and I learned a lot about the game." Contact sportswriter Jacob Messer at jacobmesser@dailymail.com

Charleston Gazette: Link, text follows -- www.wvgazette.com/section...2007050349 Red-hot Power returns home Holy hot streaks, Batman! The West Virginia Power, winner of 17 of its last 19 games, returns home to Appalachian Power Park tonight to begin a four-game homestand against the Lexington (Ky.) Legends. Tonight is also Super Hero Night, as fans dressed like their favorite crime fighters receive free admission to the game. The first-place Power (19-5) won 10-5 at Hagerstown Thursday night and is off to its best start since joining the South Atlantic League two decades ago thanks in large part to an offense that has been Kryptonite to opposing pitchers. The Power is hitting a Sally-best .295 and ranks fifth in the 16-team league with 145 runs scored. Outfielder Darren Ford leads West Virginia with a .359 average and is second in the league with 15 stolen bases. Chuck Caufield leads the team with 18 RBIs, followed by Stephen Chapman with 17 and Kenny Holmberg with 16 and a team-high four home runs. Wednesday?s 4-0 loss at Hagerstown was the first time the Power has been kept off the scoreboard this season. During its recent streak, the Power scored 10 or more runs six times. West Virginia?s pitching has been equally impressive of late. Power pitchers carried a combined 3.57 earned-run average into Thursday?s series finale at Hagerstown. Mike McClendon (2-0) and Zach Braddock (2-1) have been among the Power?s most consistent starters. McClendon has a 2.52 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 25 innings. Braddock sports a 1.14 ERA and has fanned 33 in 23 2/3 innings. No Power pitcher has won more than two games. This weekend?s series marks West Virginia?s second of the season against the rival Legends. Last week, the Power took the first three games of a four-game set from Lexington before the Legends snapped West Virginia?s 14-game win streak in the final game of the series, 9-1. Following the short homestand against Lexington, West Virginia heads back to Hagerstown for four games with the Suns. After this weekend, the Power is on the road for 10 of its next 12 games.

West Virginia Site Game Summary: POWER DOUBLE UP SUNS The West Virginia Power offense rebounded well on Thursday night after being shutout for the first time as they used a six-run third inning to beat the Hagerstown Suns 10-5 to take their third game of the series. Steve Chapman snapped a scoreless tie with a two-out RBI single in the top of the second inning. The Suns tied the game in the bottom of the inning on Brett McMillan?s sacrifice fly that scored Chris Marrero. West Virginia?s offense exploded in the third inning as they sent nine batters to the plate and scored six runs on five hits. After Jimmy Mojica and Darren Ford were issued back-to-back walks to begin the inning, Brent Brewer slapped a single into left field to score Mojica. Chuckie Caufield and Andrew Lefave hit back-to-back RBI singles before Kenny Holmberg ripped a two-run double. Holmberg scored later in the inning on Chapman?s double. The Suns battled back with a four-run third inning. Mike Daniel knocked in a run on a base hit and Marrero followed with a three-run homer, his third of the series. In the fourth inning Mojica scored his second run of the game on Michael Brantley?s sacrifice fly. The Power scored again in the fifth inning on Andy Bouchie?s RBI single. West Virginia scored one final time in the seventh inning when Holmberg touched home plate after a wild pitch. J.T. King (3-0) pitched a scoreless fifth inning to get the win. Roque Mercedes and Omar Aguilar came in after King and combined to toss four scoreless innings out of the pen. Edulin Abreau (0-2) was tagged with the loss. Andrew Lefave paced the Power three hits and scored three times. Steve Chapman and Kenny Holmberg both knocked in two runs each. Chapman went 12 for 30 on the road trip with 10 runs scored and 14 RBI. West Virginia went 6-2 on their eight game trip. The Power improved to 19-5 with the win and the Suns fell to 10-17 with the loss. The Power will begin a four game series with the Lexington Legends at Appalachian Power Park on Friday night. The Power will start left hander Brae Wright (1-1, 5.84) and the Legends will counter with left hander Dave Qualben (3-1, 1.90). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM (6:05 Central).

MiLB.com Brevard County Game Notes: Cardinals tame Manatees Adam Ottavino and two relievers combined on a four-hitter as visiting Palm Beach defeated Brevard County, 5-1, on Thursday night. Ottavino (2-3) tossed five innings, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts. Scott Vander Weg walked one in three hitess frames before Zachary Zuercher fanned one in a perfect ninth inning. Mark Hamilton, who went 2-for-4, delivered a two-run single in a three-run sixth for the Cardinals (16-10). Allen Craig was 1-for-1 with four walks, a stolen base and a run scored for Palm Beach, which moved 1 ½ games ahead of the Manatees (15-12) for the lead in the Florida State League East Division. Brevard County starter Rafael Lluberes (2-2) allowed two runs -- one earned -- on five hits and six walks in 3 2/3 innings. Lorenzo Cain tripled and had three of the Manatees' four hits. Brevard County has lost four of five following a season-high seven-game winning streak. -- Shane Figueroa/MLB.com

Link to the Manatees Site, text follows: From this past Tuesday -- www.minorleaguebaseball.c...p;sid=t503 Catcher called up to AA Lauren Farrell Viera Fl. - The dream of most is to make it under the bright lights and the roaring crowd on the expansive field of the big leagues. Manatees catcher Carlos Corporan became one step closer to that dream Monday night as he was called up to AA-Huntsville. "This is what I was looking for," said Corporan of the call-up. Corporan, second in the Florida State League in batting with a .360 average, 29 hits, 11 runs, and 19 RBI's, had a career performance in a 13-6 win at Vero Beach Monday. The catcher hit the team's first grand slam of the year and went 2-for-5 with two runs and five RBI's. The game was just one of many stellar nights on the season for the 23-year-old. "Carlos' clutch hitting has been outstanding. He has provided us with at least eight go-ahead runs this year," said hitting coach Ken Berry. "His instincts in catching, throwing, hitting and base-running have been above and beyond. He will do a great job in Huntsville and his promotion is well deserved." Corporan spent the better part of last season with the Manatees until a September 1st call-up to Huntsville. This season the Manatees have made great strides as they are first in the Florida State League and coming off a seven game winning streak. "I've had a great time, and had fun," said Corporan. "This is probably the best team I've been with in my life." Corporan has a lot to look forward to in Huntsville as the team is tied for first in the Southern League North division. "I expect the same in AA [as single A]," said Corporan, "I will have to work hard." Tony Diggs, Assistant Director of Farm Development, said "His play thus far has been outstanding, it is refreshing to see Carlos play with enthusiasm and pep in his step. He has been a pleasure to watch and his promotion is well deserved." The move of Corporan to Huntsville brings catcher Angel Salome to Brevard County.

Link while active, text follows: www.al.com/sports/huntsvi...amp;coll=1 Stars flash leather, top Lookouts Hosts combine great defense with timely hitting in 5-2 win By MARK McCARTER Huntsville Times Sports Staff, markcolumn@aol.com Third baseman Jeff Eure dove perfectly to his left and snared the bouncing ball, a spectacular play for a man more known for his versatility than his virtuosity. Shortstop Yohannis Perez went Spider-Man on a diving catch of a smoking line drive. Second baseman Hernan Iribarren skidded on his knees to steal a hit. Finally, in the ninth, Mel Stocker nearly ran through the fence in left to prevent an extra base hit. The Huntsville Stars mixed up a perfect formula of solid pitching, opportunistic hitting and - did we mention? - sensational defense Thursday to knock off Chattanooga 5-2, extending the Stars' win streak to a season-high four games. The Stars host Chattanooga again tonight at 7:05 (with a fireworks display following the game) and on Saturday at 2:05 (Stars' cap giveaway). "I said in spring training I didn't know how much we'd hit, but we should be able to catch the ball," Stars manager Don Money said. "Stocker makes a great play in the ninth to keep us out of trouble, and the infielders all had great plays." It hasn't been about how much they would hit but when they did it. Once again, the Stars were dangerous when backed into a corner. Three of their four runs in Wednesday's series opener and the first four runs Thursday came with two outs, including Brendan Katin's solo homer and clutch RBI single. Katin's homer in the fourth was his fourth homer of the year but only the 11th for the Stars in 25 games. They are tied with Birmingham for last in the league. In the sixth, the Lookouts brought in Jared Burton, who is on major league rehab assignment from Cincinnati. Hernan Iribarren greeted him with a single and took third on an errant pickoff throw. Then Burton quickly got two outs. Uh-oh. Wrong thing to do. Katin followed with an RBI single up the middle, then Ulyses Davenport reached on a bad-hop hit. Jeff Eure and Yohannis Perez followed with run-scoring singles. A Steve Moss RBI hit in the seventh piled onto the lead. Huntsville starter Manny Parra improved to 3-1 on the year, allowing only a pair of third-inning runs. Said Money, "He wasn't as sharp tonight, but after he gave up those two runs he kept battling and kept us in the game." After solid work by Robert Hinton and Joe Thatcher in set-up roles, Marino Salas earned his third save in three games, by retiring the Lookouts on one hit - and surviving Ryan Hanigan's warning-track blast - in the ninth. The crowd was announced at 927, perhaps impacted by the early rain that left the short-staffed grounds crew scrambling and forced a 21-minute delay. It was the seventh of 12 home dates in which attendance has been in only triple figures.

Final: Huntsville 5, Chattanooga (Reds) 2 Huntsville Site Game Summary: Link, text follows -- www.huntsvillestars.com/n...ewsId=1138 Stars Take Over Top Spot in Division Manny Parra tossed six solid innings and Huntsville scored three times with two outs in the sixth inning to come from behind to down Chattanooga 5-2 Thursday night in the second of a five-game set at Joe Davis Stadium. The Stars have fashioned their first four-game win streak of the season to climb to 13-12 and take over sole possession of first place in the North Division after Tennessee was blanked at Birmingham. The Stars have not been over the .500 mark since an April 18 victory over Jacksonville increased their record to 6-5. Hernan Irribarren singled to lead off the sixth inning and advanced to third base with one out on an errant pickoff attempt by Jared Burton, who took over for starter James Avery at the start of the frame. Lou Palmisano grounded to third for the second out of the inning before Brendan Katin singled to center field to plate Iribarren to tie the game at two. Ulyses Davenport reached with a bad hop single to right field that advanced Katin to third and Jeff Eure followed with a single to right to push Katin across with the go-ahead run and move Davenport to third. Yohannis Perez completed the rally with a single to center field that plated Davenport to collect his second run-scoring hit in as many nights. Iribarren singled with one out in the seventh, stole second base and scored on a single by Steve Moss to push the Stars? lead to 5-2 and chase Burton from the game. The right-hander was saddled with his first loss after allowing four runs on seven hits in just 1 1/3 innings. Avery allowed a run, on a Katin home run, on six hits over his five frames. Chattanooga tallied twice against Parra in the third on a run-scoring hit by Drew Anderson and a run-scoring ground out by Enrique Cruz. The southpaw blanked the visitors over the next three frames on two singles to win for a third time in as many starts at home. He fanned five, walked two and lasted at least six innings for a fourth time in five starts. Robert Hinton worked a scoreless inning and a third before giving way to Joe Thatcher, who retired both batters he faced to close the eighth. Marino Salas worked a scoreless ninth and earned his fifth save in as many chances after getting pinch-hitter Luis Bolivar to bounce into a game-ending double play. The series continues Friday night with left-hander Adam Pettyjohn making the start against Lookouts left-hander Camilo Vazquez. Coverage of the game begins at 6:50 p.m. central time and can be heard locally on SportsRadio 730 AM WUMP and through the internet at www.huntsvillestars.com.

Helena Independent Record: Brewers make pitch Paul Fetz, general manager of the Helena Brewers minor-league baseball team, asked city commissioners to consider a bond issue to fund $1.6 million in improvements to Kindrick-Legion Field. In exchange, the organization is willing to consider a long-term lease agreement. Fetz said he?s loved Helena since he moved the team here from Medicine Hat, Alberta, and he wants to stay. Improvements are needed at the field to improve the atmosphere for fans and upgrade the playing surface ? the condition of which could determine whether the team?s parent club sends top prospects or ?project? players to the Queen City. He said the Major League Brewers have had concerns with the divots and rocks on the playing field, and any player who ruins his career with an injury related to the field?s condition could have grounds for a lawsuit. The park is the oldest in the Pioneer League, and today?s fans desire greater amenities at stadiums. ?We want to accommodate our community and our fans a lot better,? Fetz said. ?I?m excited to be in this town and looking forward to what?s to come,? he added. Fetz didn?t get much positive response from the commission. ?I?m queasy with the concept of public funding to enhance what is essentially a private, for-profit entity,? Peura said. Other commissioners didn?t weigh in on the ball park.

Nashville Media Notes: DILLON PLACED ON D.L.; VILLAREAL TO JOIN SOUNDS FRIDAY: Outfielder Joe Dillon has been placed on the disabled list. The veteran strained his left hamstring while legging out a first-inning double on Saturday at Omaha and has not appeared since being lifted for a pinch-runner in that contest. Left-handed reliever Luis Villareal will join the Sounds from Double-A Huntsville tomorrow to fill Dillon?s roster spot. The 27-year-old southpaw posted a 1-1 record and 6.75 ERA (8 ER / 10.2 IP) in eight relief outings for the Stars to open the season. Villareal, a six-year veteran who spent the past three seasons in the independent leagues after opening his career in the Red Sox organization, has never appeared at the Triple-A level during his professional career. Also, LHP Mitch Stetter's injury is left shoulder tendinitis.
