David Weiser's www.starsboxscore.com/ 6 OF 9The Stars will lose their first road series of the year. That is an inevitable fact after losing in 10 innings to the Diamond Jaxx, 4-3, their 3rd straight loss, and 6th loss in their last 9 games....... West Tennessee has been one of the Stars toughest opponents the last three years, with a record now of 28-16 against the Stars....... The Cubs, to their credit, have put together one of the best minor league organizations in baseball during that time, going back to 2001, when it was ranked 2nd by Baseball America , # 1 a year later, and 3rd in 2003. After five straight years as one of the top 10 minor league organizations in baseball, they slipped to # 15 this year ---- thinning, but still talented, and with June ahead of them....... Last year, the Diamond Jaxx went to the Southern League Championship game with the Most Outstanding Pitcher of the Year, Ricky Nolasco (currently in the majors), and outfielder Matt Murton, now a regular with the Cubs, Brandon Sing, Felix Pie, and a number of other prospects, some of whom returned to the Jaxx this year......... They include Luis Montanez, who singled home the game-winning run in the 10th, and scored the first run on Micah Hoffpauir's triple in the 1st inning. The Stars' call went out to Matt Yeatman, who finished April with a 0.73 ERA, tying Roger Smithberg (Stars '92) for the 9th-best April in Stars history. Had last Wednesday's game not have been rained out, who knows how Yeatman would have finished, for he was scheduled to start the final game of the month......... In any case, he got two quick outs in the 1st before Montanez grounded a 1-2 pitch through the middle for a single. Hoffpauir, on a 2-2 count, followed with a smash in the air that rolled all the way to the wall. Steve Moss had trouble picking up the ball, and Montanez scored the first run off Yeatman since April 8th....... Scott Moore followed with a double off the base of the fence in almost the same spot Hoffpauir hit his, to make it 2-0. The Stars, however, came back and scored three times to go ahead for the time being........ With one out, Adam Heether (with a new stance) and Lou Palmisano hit back-to-back singles........ Jeff Eure, 1-for-10 in his last seven games, and starting at 1st base for the first time since April 18th at Montgomery, lined a 2-2 pitch from starter Juan Mateo deep to left field off the wall, easily scoring Heether and sending Palmisano to third. Eure might have made third, but was playing conservatively on the basepaths........ Callix Crabbe, who knocked in 13 runs in April, 2nd only to Greg Sain, delivered huge in the clutch, ripping a line drive down the right field line into the corner, scoring Eure and Palmisano, giving the Stars a 3-2 lead. That would hold up until the bottom of the 5th inning........ Alec Zumwalt pitched impressively in relief of Yeatman, but opened his four-inning effort with a two-out game-tying home run to Hoffpauir on a 1-1 pitch to the right field corner that followed a deep foul to the same general area......... After that, the Stars were able to get just one hit the rest of the game -- a single by Drew Anderson in the 10th, but Anderson took himself out on a stolen base attempt. The Stars have stolen 19 bases this year, but have been succesful in only 63% of all attempts....... They weren't without opportunities. Mateo walked the first two batters in the 6th, but Carlos Jan, in relief of Mateo, closed the door........ In the 10th, Chris Walker opened with an opposite-field double off Joe Winkelsas (1-0, 1.54), by now in his 2nd inning. The Stars brought their corner men, Heether and Eure in, anticipating a bunt. Eric Patterson gave it to them, placing it to the left side, but Heether's one-hop throw to Crabbe could not be handled and Heether was charged with his 2nd error of the year........ Montanez, the Cubs 30th Top Prospect on Baseball America's Top 30 among Cub minor leaguers, grounded a 1-1 pitch past a diving Chavez into left field for the game-winning hit....... Montanez, who had three hits, is 6-for-14 vs. Stars pitching in the series, but it was only his first RBI. The final game of the series will pit Khalid Ballouli (2-1, 3.90) against lefty Randy Wells........ Wells (1-1, 1.84) will be making his 4th start of the season. He's held batting opponents to a .212 average....... Ballouli is coming off his finest game as a Huntsville Star, going eight innings, giving up just four hits and striking out nine last Monday in a game the Stars lost in 12. Ozzie Chavez (.275) extended his hitting streak to seven games (8-for-27)........ The Stars as a team are hitting just .227, tied for last in the league with Tennessee. In the last nine games, of which they've lost six, they're hitting .204....... The Stars had just three games in April in which they assembled 10 or more hits, the fewest since 1995........ They finished 14-10 in April, their best record in three years, but their April average at the plate of .232 is the worst since 2001, when they hit .221........ But there's better news. The Stars have drawn more walks than anybody except Mobile and trail only by four........... Through games of May 5th, the Stars are leading the league in fielding (.984) and have made only 16 errors through 28 games. They finished April with just 12 errors, a club record smashing the old record of 18 that had held up since 1992......... No Huntsville Stars team has ever led the league in fielding pct. at season's end. The 1986 team finished 2nd........ On the pitching side, the staff strikeout-walk ratio of 3.34-1 is the best in the league as the Stars lead the SL in strikeouts and fewest walks. They're 7th in ERA, but their 3.38 figure, if it held up at season's end, would be the 2nd best in club history....... Steve Moss raised his average from .190 to .281 on his 14-game hitting streak, which ended Thursday. It's still the 2nd longest this season in the league. Matt Kemp of the Jacksonville Suns had a 16-game hitting streak end on Tuesday. Manny Parra made his season debut Wednesday, and you would think that pitching the same game with Mike Jones would make Brewer fans giddy at the thought of seeing two of the most promising pitching talents on the comeback trail, decimate the opposition, and quickly climb the ladder to the majors once again....... Instead, Parra, working his way back from rotator cuff surgery, gave up three runs in 2 1/3 innings and Jones, who has undergone two shoulder surgeries in the past two years, gave up five runs in 1 1/3 innings of relief for Brevard County in an 11-3 loss to Jupiter........ The two combined to walk eight hitters. Guilder Rodriguez, who missed the bus to the ballpark, took care of the coaching duties at 1st base during the game.

The Nashville game was taylor-made for staff-saving knuckle-baller Jared Fernandez, who ironically missed the affair by one day.

Nashville Site: Sounds Game Suspended At End Of 18th Inning NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Friday evening's game between the Nashville Sounds and New Orleans Zephyrs was suspended due to curfew rules with the score tied 4-4 at the conclusion of the 18th inning. The game will be concluded on Saturday evening at Greer Stadium, beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday's regularly-scheduled game between the clubs will be a seven-inning affair that begins approximately 20 minutes after the completion of the suspended game. Fans holding tickets to the May 5 game can redeem their ticket stubs for a ticket of equal or lesser value (pending availability) to any remaining home game during the 2006 regular season. The 18-inning game is already the longest in New Orleans Zephyrs history, which dates back to 1993. The longest game in Nashville Sounds history occurred on September 7, 1990, a 20-inning playoff game at Greer Stadium against the Omaha Royals. The Sounds lost that game by an 8-7 count. Right-hander Mike Meyers (1-0, 3.86) will start Saturday's nightcap for Nashville and face recently-added New Orleans right-hander David Gil, who will make his first Triple-A start of the season. ***Link while active, text follows: tennessean.com/apps/pbcs....328/SPORTS Sounds game suspended after 18 innings Will resume today at 6 p.m. By MAURICE PATTON Tennessean Staff Writer After winning back-to-back one-run games, the Nashville Sounds played one a little too closely Friday night. Allowing runs in the eighth and ninth innings to force a 4-4 tie, the Sounds went nine more innings with visiting New Orleans before the contest was suspended due to minor league guidelines. The game will be picked up at the top of the 19th inning today beginning at 6 p.m., with the regularly scheduled game to follow. The second game will be shortened to seven innings. Only a handful of the announced season-high crowd of 9,124 remained when the final out was recorded ? on Brad Nelson?s franchise-record sixth strikeout of the night ? at 1:25 a.m., for a game time of 6 hours, 23 minutes. The Sounds played a 20-inning contest in the 1990 American Association playoffs, losing to Omaha 8-7. That game is the longest, inning-wise, in franchise history. Time-wise, the longest known game prior to last night was a 5-hour, 7-minute contest in the 1998 home opener against Colorado Springs, an 8-7 loss in 15 innings. The Greer Stadium matchup was the last to go final in the Pacific Coast League ? despite being the first to start. Two games that started two hours later also wrapped up ahead of Nashville and New Orleans. After tying the game at 4-all, New Orleans ? which had lost 11 of its last 12 games ? had the leadoff hitter reach base in six of its nine extra at-bats. Nashville loaded the bases in both the 11th and 13th innings, but failed to score on either occasion. ***Link while active, text follows: tennessean.com/apps/pbcs....328/SPORTS Hart gets his own 10-game hit streak By MAURICE PATTON Tennessean Staff Writer Corey Hart became the fourth Nashville Sounds player this season to put together a hitting streak of at least 10 games with his first-inning single Friday night against New Orleans. Hart joins Chris Barnwell (10 games, April 12-22), Tony Gwynn (12 games, April 14-25) and Mike Rivera, who has a Pacific Coast League-best 16-gamer but was still hitless after 18 innings. Barnwell also extended his current streak to eight games with a fourth-inning double. Hart, who singled and drove in a run in the third, went into Friday?s game hitting .429 (18-for-42) with four home runs, 12 RBI and 11 runs over his nine-game streak. Speakin? of streakin?: Vinny Rottino, who entered the game as part of a double-switch, walked in his seventh-inning plate appearance and had a sacrifice bunt in the ninth. His hitting streak remains at five games pending the completion of the suspended game. Home sweet home: With his successful ninth-inning pinch-hitting appearance, Gwynn is the only Sounds player to hit safely in all 13 Greer Stadium games (18-for-49, .367). He has a current hitting streak of six games. Double threat: Dennis Sarfate had the first multi-hit game for a Sounds pitcher this season, hitting a two-out double off the left-field wall in the second inning and adding an RBI bunt single on a successful squeeze play in the fourth. Sarfate, who played shortstop at Arizona State in addition to pitching, had one of the pitching staff?s three hits in 26 at-bats coming into Friday. The last Nashville pitcher to have two or more hits in a game was Justin Lehr, who went 2-for-2 on June 23 at Albuquerque. On the mound, Sarfate struck out six in six innings of work ? both season highs ? but wound up taking a no-decision. Leading the way: The Sarfate and Barnwell doubles padded the Sounds? Pacific Coast League lead in that category, giving them 65 for the season. Stealing wins: Nashville also added to its league lead in stolen bases, as Dave Krynzel, Brent Abernathy and Brad Nelson each swiped a bag Friday. Entering play, the Sounds? 52 steals were 16 more than the No. 2 team, Salt Lake.

Brad Nelson 1-for-8 with 5 K's, ugh... That's it for me kids. Sleep tight heading to the 17th...

Wonder how many fans have stuck around in Nashville on a fireworks night there. The neighbors will love that in the middle of the night. Bottom of the 16th, 12:35 AM in Nashville, there must be a curfew issue coming up, you'd think...

Gotta admit, being able to have the Gameday active on the Nashville game while watching the Crew in Los Angeles is cool. (Also have Chuck Valenches on Windows Media Player, and check in with his audio during commercial breaks in the Milwaukee game -- multi-tasking at 1:15 East Coast. TGIF!)

Corey Hart has ended both the 11th and 13th innings with the bases loaded -- still tied at 4-4 heading to the 14th; Mike Rivera yet to extend his hit streak...

Brevard County Site Game Summary: Muniz lifts Hammerheads J.C. Muniz homered twice to power visiting Jupiter to a 6-3 victory over Brevard County on Friday. Muniz gave the Hammerheads a 2-0 lead when he followed Juan Figueroa's leadoff single in the second inning with a drive over the center field fence for his first homer of the season. He hit a solo shot in the fourth to make it 3-0. Grant Psomas was 4-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI for Jupiter (11-17). Brian Cleveland and Brett Carroll had run-scoring singles and Psomas delivered an RBI double as the Hammerheads scored three runs in the ninth. Brevard County (15-13) had tied the score, 3-3, on Brendan Katin's RBI double in the eighth. Katin moved up on a passed ball, but Scott Nestor retired Hernan Iribarren on a groundout to end the inning. Nestor (1-0) pitched one inning, allowing one run on one hit with a walk and two strikeouts. Harvey Garcia struck out two in a perfect ninth for his fourth save. Jupiter starter Jacob Marceaux went seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits and striking out five. Hasan Rasheed had a two-run triple in the fourth for Brevard County (15-12). First baseman Steven Sollman went 0-for-3, stopping his 10-game hitting streak. Jeremy Lewis (0-2) gave up three runs on four hits in one inning for the loss. -- Jeannine Rippa/MLB.com

Huntsville Site Game Summary: Link, text follows -- www.huntsvillestars.com/n...newsId=812 Stars Suffer Stinging Defeat in Tenth Luis Montanez singled home the game-winning run in the bottom of the tenth inning to lift West Tenn to a 4-3 comeback victory over Huntsville Friday night at Pringles Park in the fourth game of a five-game set. The Diamond Jaxx have won the last three games to improve to 17-12 and move within two games of first place Chattanooga in the Southern League North Division, while the Stars dropped to 15-14 and remain four games behind the Lookouts. Chris Walker led off the tenth with a slicing double to left field and has hit safely in all four games in the series. Eric Patterson dropped down a sacrifice bunt and reached base safely when third baseman Adam Heether?s throw to first base could not be handled by second baseman Callix Crabbe, covering on the rotation play. Montanez then grounded a 1-1 offering from Joe Winkelsas past a diving shortstop Ozzie Chavez to chase home Walker with the decisive win. The Stars have dropped all three extra inning games they have played in this season. It was the first run Winkelsas has allowed since April 10 at Mississippi, a stretch of nine scoreless frames. Micah Hoffpauir tied the game in the fifth inning with a two-out home run off of Alec Zumwalt, who opened the frame in relief of starter Matt Yeatman. Hoffpauir had belted a 1-0 pitch home run distance but foul but did not miss on the next pitch from Zumwalt to swat his league-leading eighth home run of the season. Hoffpauir had tripled home a run and scored in the first inning, marking the first time Yeatman had been scored on in 15.1 innings, dating back to April 8 at Mississippi. Heether and Lou Palmisano singled with one out in the second before Jeff Eure doubled to left to plate Heether and push Palmisano to third. Crabbe followed with a double to right to score both runners and give the visitors the lead. Crabbe has knocked in runs in 11 of his 25 starts and 11 of his 16 runs batting left-handed. Clay Rapada picked up the win in relief with a scoreless tenth inning. He gave up a one-out single to Drew Anderson, the only hit for the Stars after a leadoff single by Ozzie Chavez in the third inning. Thomas Atlee worked three scoreless, hitless innings and has tossed five shutout frames in relief in the series. The series concludes Saturday night when the Stars send right-hander Khalid Ballouli to the mound against West Tenn left-hander Randy Wells. Coverage of the game begins at 6:50 p.m. central time and can be heard on ESPN Radio 1450 AM locally and via the internet at www.huntsvillestars.com.

West Virginia Game Summary: No hangover for Power offense One night after setting a South Atlantic League record for home runs in a single game, the West Virginia Power offense pounded out 13 hits and had nine runs to show for it, in a 9-0 shutout victory over the Lexington Legends on Friday night at Appalachian Power Park. The scoring started in the bottom of the second inning when Nate Yoho knocked in Ryan Crew with an RBI single. The Power struck again in the fourth inning when Mike Bell ripped his second home run of the season, a solo shot to put the Power up 2-0. The Power sent eight batters to the plate in the fifth inning and scored four times to open up a six run lead. Mat Gamel, Crew and Ned Yost all contributed with RBI singles. The fourth run of the inning crossed the plate after Crew got caught up in a rundown between first and second base, allowing Mike Bell to score. Angel Salome blasted a three-run homer in the fifth inning, his fourth of the year to put the Power on top 9-0. Will Inman, Rafael Lluberes and Dane Renkert combined for the third Power shutout of the season. This marks the second time that this threesome has combined for a shutout this season. Inman (3-0) pitched five scoreless innings, struck out five and earned the victory. Levi Romero (4-1) obtained the loss. The Power are 14-13 after the win and the Legends fell to 15-13 with the loss. The win marks the first time the Power have been over .500 since opening night. Attendance for the game was 4,301. The Power continue the six game series against the Lexington Legends at Appalachian Power Park on Saturday night. Lexington will start left hander Doug Arguello (0-1, 5.79) and West Virginia will counter with left hander Dave Welch (0-1, 1.74). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM (6:05 Central).

Both the Sounds and Stars head into the 10th inning in their respective games; if not for the West Coast Brewer game, an ideal night to listen in...

RHP Mike Meyers will be taking Jared Fernandez' turn in the Nashville rotation on Saturday, according to the the Sounds' press notes. Yet to be announced if that is considered a mid- to long-term status, or a spot start, with another candidate (Huntsville's Corey Thurman?) to possibly emerge in the next week or two.

By the way, The Daily Mail is an afternoon non-weekend paper, their online viewing isn't available until later in the day as opposed to the overnight. Link while active, text follows: www.dailymail.com/news/Sp...006050514/ A Powerful performance Jack Bogaczyk Charleston Daily Mail Sports Editor The West Virginia Power went deep, perhaps like only one modern pro baseball club previously has. Then, Charleston's minor league team left the game's archivists going deep. It took the rain to stop the Power -- and the power -- on Thursday night. West Virginia belted a South Atlantic League single game-record seven homers against Lexington. Six of those came in a 12-run, incredible bottom of the first inning at Appalachian Power Park. In a dozen previous home dates this season, the Power had only six homers. The club had been hitting only .213 with runners in scoring position. "I've never seen anything like it," said Power third baseman Mat Gamel, who stretched his West Virginia season-high hitting streak to nine games with back-to-back first-inning homers and a single. "I'll probably never see anything like it again. I don't know anyone else will ever do that." Major League Baseball Advanced Media, which compiles minor league statistics and handles record research, will begin double-checking today with all of the leagues and past minors' record-keepers on whether the Power's six-dinger inning is a record. However, according to the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball, which is published by Baseball America, the feat has occurred at least once before. The Kansas City Blues hit six homers in the third inning of a 17-4 win over the St. Paul (Minn.) Saints in a Triple-A American Association game on June 29, 1952. Coincidentally, that game came six days after Charleston took over an American Association team that had moved from Toledo, Ohio. That week was Charleston's first with a Triple-A franchise. The Major League record is five homers in an inning. That has happened five times -- four against the Cincinnati Reds, including the most recent when the Power-parent Milwaukee Brewers smacked five off Brandon Claussen on April 22. West Virginia's 17-2 shredding of Lexington before 3,444 wetheads ended after a 24-minute rain delay -- and in the fifth with the bases loaded for the Power and leadoff man Darren Ford coming to the plate on a 4-for-4 night. "I wanted to get another base hit," Ford said. "There was maybe another RBI or two out there." Power Manager Mike Guerrero's 20 years in pro ball are eclipsed by that of his coaches, former Major Leaguer players Mike Lum and John Curtis. Together, the threesome has almost 100 seasons playing, coaching or managing. "It was incredible," said Lum, the Power hitting coach. "Forty-three years, I've never seen that. "They didn't only hit it; they hit it hard, too ... even the outs. The biorhythms were up today for everyone, I guess." Curtis, who pitched 20 years professionally, said the six-homer start, erasing a 1-0 Lexington lead, "is something I haven't seen. It's something you don't even imagine." Guerrero said, "Mike Lum has more than 40 years. He hasn't seen it. I think that's the first time it's ever happened in this game." West Virginia's seven homers came from six different hitters -- Gamel (two), Ryan Crew, Ned Yost, Nate Yoho, Angel Salome and Mike Bell. The six in the first inning came in a 10-hitter span off two Legends pitchers. Lexington starter Brian Bogusevic (0-2), Houston's first-round draft pick last June from Tulane, faced eight batters, giving up seven hits and an error with no outs. The Power finished with 23 hits in 4 2/3 innings, and still came only four short of Salisbury's 1961 league record of 27 in a game. By the end of that memorable first, every batter had a hit for the Power (13-13). West Virginia entered the game batting a robust .290 against Lexington, which came in with a share of the Northern Division lead. Now, that average is .330, but the Legends (15-12) still lead the season series 5-4, with half of this week's six-game series left. "Hitting is definitely contagious," said the lefty-swinging Gamel, who raised his average to .299 and is hitting over .400 in the last two weeks. "I know myself, I'm more relaxed up there. I think we're all getting that way." The left-handed hitter is batting .404 at Power Park this season and doubled his season home run total to four. Gamel said a testy eight-game taste of the SAL to end last season (4-for-23) gave him a better idea what to expect in 2006. "I was definitely pressing a little bit early this season, but now it's about being relaxed," he said. "I'm trying to not get behind in the count. It's about being aggressive, but being selective. It's about being smart at the plate." Power points -- Derek Miller (2-1) was the mound recipient of the offensive night after he had allowed back-to-back extra-base hits for a 1-0 Legend lead to start the first ... A six-homer game by the Legends in 2002 had shared the SAL single-game record ... A strange end to a bizarre night: After his team was pounded, Legends third baseman Mike Thompson stood outside the clubhouse, pleading with official scorer Lee France to change a West Virginia error to a Thompson base hit on an infield pop fly that fell 40 feet from home plate, between three Power players ... West Virginia made more roster moves Thursday, putting right-hander Rob Wooley (arm tightness) and outfielder Michael Brantley (right shoulder pain) on the disabled list. Outfielder Steve Chapman was called up from extended spring training. With the roster at 24, the Power can activate second baseman Kenny Holmberg on Saturday without another move, if Holmberg's high left ankle sprain is healed ...

West Virginia Press Release: CHARLESTON, WV (May 5, 2006) - The West Virginia Power, Class A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers have made another roster move. Today, right handed pitcher Robbie Wooley was placed on the disabled list. Wooley has experienced soreness in his right elbow and he will miss at least one start. Wooley is 1-1 on the year with a 4.50 ERA over five starts. No move has been made to replace Wooley on the roster.

Sorry, silly me relying on memory for Brevard County's rotation, without press coverage on the Manatees. Just adjusted the above, as I just realized it's Mark Rogers, not Yo Gallardo, going tonight. Based on Mark's recent outings, still exciting to follow.
