As first mentioned on the Major League Forum via the Sounds' website: To clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Trent Durrington, Milwaukee released minor league pitcher Sam Narron, who had not appeared at any level this season. The 6'7" Narron will be 24 next month. He had been claimed on waivers from Texas late last season. LHP Sam Narron career statistics: www.thebaseballcube.com/p...rron.shtml From Adam McCalvy's MLB.com Notes: To make room for Durrington on the 40-man roster, the Brewers removed left-hander Sam Narron, who had Tommy John surgery earlier this season and is out for the year. According to assistant general manager Gord Ash, the official move goes like this: Narron was designated for assignment Saturday, will be placed on release waivers Monday and will clear on Wednesday. At that time, the Brewers will re-sign him to a Minor League deal.

Just underway: Great Falls (White Sox) at Helena Two-hour rain delay prior to the H-Crew's home opener, this would be an ideal opportunity for late-night audio, but that's not the case.

Nashville Site Game Summary: Link for Ben Hendrickson photo, text follows -- www.nashvillesounds.com/n...ewsId=1655 OKLAHOMA CITY ? The Nashville Sounds got back on the winning track on Saturday evening, posting an 8-1 victory over the Oklahoma RedHawks at SBC Bricktown Ballpark in the opener of a four-game series. With the victory, Nashville (41-36) extended its lead back to 2 ½ games over Memphis in the PCL American Conference Northern Division and sent the RedHawks to their season-high 11th straight defeat. Dave Krynzel belted his second leadoff homer of the season to put the Sounds on the board in the top of the first inning. The longball, Krynzel?s seventh of the year, was a solo shot to right off Oklahoma starter R.A. Dickey that extended the center fielder?s hitting streak to six games. The Sounds mounted a two-out rally in the second to up the lead to 4-0. With two down, Tony Zuniga, who finished 3-for-4 on the evening, extended his hitting streak to six games with a single to left and Chris Barnwell followed by drawing a walk. Shortstop Steve Scarborough made it a 2-0 game when he plated Zuniga with an RBI single to left. Krynzel followed with his second big hit of the night, a two-run double off Dickey to left to bring in Barnwell and Scarborough. Nashville made it 5-0 in the top of the seventh when Scarborough scored Zuniga with an RBI double to center. Oklahoma broke up Sounds starter Ben Hendrickson?s shutout bid in the bottom of the frame. Adrian Gonzalez reached on a one-out single to left, moved to third on a double by Manny Alexander, and scored on Rashad Eldridge?s RBI single to put the RedHawks on the board and make it a 5-1 contest. Outfielder Corey Hart ripped his team-leading 21st double of the year with two out in the top of the eighth to chase Dickey and extend his personal hitting streak to five games. Brad Nelson drew a walk from reliever Erasmo Ramirez to put two on for catcher Mike Rivera, who belted a three-run homer to deep left to extend the Nashville lead to 8-1. The blast was the backstop?s fourth of the season. Audio Link of Mike Rivera's HR: www.nashvillesounds.com/a...206-25.mp3 Hendrickson (4-6) hurled his fifth quality start to earn the victory. The right-hander held Oklahoma to one run on seven hits over seven innings of work. Dickey (0-3) remained winless on the year and fell to 3-8 lifetime against the Sounds, absorbing the loss after allowing six runs (five earned) over his 7 2/3 frames. Jeff Bennett and Jose Capellan each tossed a scoreless frame of relief to close out the win for the Sounds. Capellan has yet to allow a run in relief this season, hurling eight scoreless frames. The teams engage in game two of the series at 7:05 p.m. CT on Sunday evening. Left-hander Jeff Housman (3-6, 5.16) toes the rubber for Nashville to face RedHawks right-hander John Hudgins (2-4, 4.64). -

Nashville Site Press Release: This decision was a no-brainer... The Pacific Coast League office has added Sounds outfielder Corey Hart to the circuit?s All-Star team as a reserve, filling the spot vacated by Trent Durrington?s promotion to Milwaukee. Hart, batting .301 on the year, leads the Sounds with 80 hits and 20 doubles and ranks second on the club with 130 total bases and 46 runs scored. The 23-year-old has been Nashville?s hottest hitter of late, batting .396 (46-for-110) in his last 27 games. He will participate in his fourth consecutive mid-season All-Star competition (California League in 2002, Southern League in 2003, and Triple-A in 2004). The 2005 Triple-A All-Star Game, which pits stars of the Pacific Coast League against stars of the International League, will occur on Wednesday, July 13 at Raley Field in Sacramento, California.

Final: West Virginia 6, Lake County (Indians) 4 Power win their first home game of the second half... West Virginia Site Game Summary: POWER USE TWO-RUN 7TH INNING TO BEAT THE CAPTAINSCharleston, WV ? The West Virginia Power and Lake County Captains were tied at 4-4 going into the bottom of the seventh inning of Saturday night?s game at Appalachian Power Park. In the bottom of the seventh, with two outs, Grant Richardson delivered a two-run double to give the Power the lead and they never looked back, beating the Captains 6-4. Wyatt Toregas drove in the first run of the game on an RBI groundout in the top of the first inning to give the Captains a 1-0 lead. The Captains took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning when Juan Valdes reached on a fielder?s choice and drove in Fernando Pacheco. The Power scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning to take their first lead of the game. Hasan Rasheed scored the first run of the inning when Tony Festa hit a groundball that went through the legs of Lake County first baseman Fernando Pacheco. Alcides Escobar delivered a two-out RBI single to tie the game and later in the inning Escobar drew a throw from catcher Toregas, and killed just enough time to allow Clay Blevins to score before he was tagged out between second and first base. Hernan Iribarren?s RBI groundout in the bottom of the fifth inning gave the Power a 4-2 lead. In the top of the seventh inning Toregas drove in Valdes with an RBI single, and Mike Butia grounded into a double play, which scored Brian Finegan to tie the game at 4-4. In the bottom of the seventh inning, with two outs and two runners on, Richardson delivered his two-run double to plate the final two runs of the game. Derek DeCarlo (3-3) earned the victory, Dave Johnson (1) earned the save and Cody Bunkleman (0-3) obtained the loss. The Power improve to 2-3 in the second half with the win and the Captains fall to 2-3 with the loss. The Power will finish the weekend series with Lake County on Sunday afternoon at Appalachian Power Park. RHP Josh Wahpepah (4-3, 4.00) will throw for the Power and the Captains will counter with LHP Chuck Lofgren (1-0, 1.82). The first pitch is scheduled for 2:05 PM (1:05 Central). West Virginia Box Score: Don't want to start on a down note -- but Hernan Iribarren and Alcides Escobar have now combined for 40 errors -- two unearned runs almost cost the squad here; then again, it's easier to develop defensive skills down the road, isn't it? And darn, they appear to be a dynamic combo...

Final: Brevard County 9, Palm Beach (Cardinals) 1 Palm Beach Site Game Summary: JUPITER, FL ? The Brevard County Manatees pounded out 18 hits and Ty Taubenheim allowed just one run and four hits in a complete game effort against the Cardinals on Saturday night at Roger Dean Stadium. The All-Star Game starter for the East Division last Saturday, Taubenheim (9-2) was in command from the start. He allowed just three runners in scoring position all night, including Joe Mather, who scored on a squeeze play by Rayner Laya in the second inning. Mike Parisi, making his first start for Palm Beach this season, pitched well through four but got in trouble in the fifth. Parisi (0-1) allowed three runs and four hits in the fifth, including a two-run triple by Manatees? shortstop Ozzie Chavez. In total, Parisi gave up five runs on 11 hits in six innings. The Manatees tacked on another run in the sixth, and then scored four times in the ninth off reliever Justin Garza. Brevard County Box Score: An amazing seven Manatees with multiple hits, including DH Ben Diggins; Ty Taubenheim pitched 92.1 innings in 2004 -- he's now at 93.0 in 2005...

Personally, here's hoping Mr. Inman can back up those words and personality pretty quickly, or his come-uppance could be pretty nasty. Seems to me he could be Tom Wilhelmsen (7th round, 2002), pre-substance abuse issues -- and here's giving a shout out to Tom, hoping all is going well in Maryvale. I don't think you'll ever see the Brewers plop a 19-year-old in low-A again after only two rookie league appearances, a la Tom, although Wilhelmsen's 2.76 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 15 Beloit starts in 2003 still looks appealing. The thought of a rehabbed but still fun and quirky Tom and Inman hanging out together is neat, in a weird high risk, super-high reward kind of way.

Kevin Vital was the train last night, plowing into West Virginia catcher Carlos Corporan to score the key run in the Lexington Legends' 8-4 come-from-behind victory. "I saw him in the line, and I wasn't about to slide," said Vital, who scored from second on Luke Barganier's single to right. "I don't think there's going to be too many times when I slide into home plate if there's a close play. "It reminds me of high school football all over again. I love the contact." Vital, once an all-state linebacker in Louisiana, is 6 feet, 225 pounds. Corporan has size, too -- 6-3, 210. "He was standing still, though," Vital said. "I was coming." Vital not only scored, tying the game at 4, but knocked the ball so far that Ole Sheldon was able to score the go-ahead run behind him. Barganier scampered to second. Frankie Caraballo added an RBI single, then scored on Chris Clark's homer. "I was just trying to see a fastball and get a pitch to hit," said Clark, whose second homer of the series and the season made it 8-4. "They've been coming inside on me kind of frequently. ... I just try to keep my hands inside of it and get the good part of the bat on it." The Legends, 3-1 in the second half, take momentum into tonight's game at Hagerstown, which will double as the first-half Northern Division title tiebreaker. "Especially the way we took the lead -- a nice, aggressive play, the kind that got the team going," Manager Tim Bogar said. "We were doing all right tonight, but that kind of kick-started us and got everybody's juices going. Hopefully that's going to survive the bus trip (this) morning." The home-plate collision came a night after Legends catcher J.R. Towles held on to make the putout on a pair of similar plays, but the Power won that game 9-3. "It was clean, nothing to it," Power Manager Ramon Aviles said of Vital. "The only difference was that our catcher didn't hold on to the ball and their's did." Corporan came out of the game an inning later. "He complained about his wrist a little bit," Aviles said, "but I think he was more scared than anything." Ben Zobrist had three of the Legends' 12 hits, including a pair of doubles. West Virginia led 3-0 through four innings. But the Legends finally solved Mark Rogers and his 98-mph fastball in a three-run fifth inning. Grant Richardson's RBI single in the seventh gave the Power their brief 4-3 lead. The Legends' Kevin Vital collided with Powers's catcher Carlos Corporan, knocking the ball loose, as he scored in the bottom of the 7th inning as the Lexington Legends played the West Virginia Power at Applebee's Park in Lexington.

Friday's Arizona League Action: YESTERDAY'S GAMES ATHLETICS 3, ROYALS 2 W-PENA L-GARRETT GIANTS 4, CUBS 3 W-GORNATI L-PAWELEK SV-THOMSON MARINERS 16, RANGERS 4 W-HUANG L-RASNER SV-SOTO [b]BREWERS AT PADRES GAME NOT REPORTED[/b]Well, that totally stinks. These box scores may show up eventually, but as we've learned from past years, "Game Not Reported" normally means paperwork wasn't supplied to the league office, in this case most likely by the home team Padres - we blame Laurel Prieb and his west coast MLB office. The kids in Arizona have been playing games against other squads for weeks, with the exception of the newly-drafted high schoolers. It's just that the last two officially counted. Speaking of high school, Arizona League games are basically glorified high school all-star games, except they're played before fewer fans. Still, it'd be nice to get the box scores. There's a chance three box scores will show up on Sunday AM, and if not, we'll try to contact someone with the Brewers. If Jim Powell sneaks in Arizona League results in his "Down on the Farm Report" tonight, he's a better man than I -- have at it, Jim. We really need to move someone to Phoenix and hire them as a Brewerfan Arizona League correspondent. The pay ain't much, but Brian's set up a nice 401K package for us...

Final: Helena 5, Missoula (Diamondbacks) 4 A 4-0 record for the H-Crew on their opening road series, home opener Saturday... Link while active, text follows: www.missoulian.com/articl...orts01.txt O's still sliding: Missoula remains winless as Helena sweeps series sweep By KIM BRIGGEMAN of the Missoulian It'll go down as a gopher ball, the pitch that Missoula's Matt Green threw and Helena's John Alonso hit for a decisive three-run home run in the eighth inning Friday night. It proved the difference in a 5-4 Brewers win and a four-game sweep of the season-opening Pioneer League baseball series at Play Ball Park. But the Osprey were looking at big and even bigger pictures as they fondly bid the Brewers adieu. Green, pointed out manager Hector De La Cruz, is a second-round pick who oozes potential. The Louisiana right-hander was making his professional baseball debut. "Everything's there," said De La Cruz. "We've got to let him pitch. You've got to understand, we like to win but then also we like to develop." Alonso's homer was just the fifth hit of the evening against a heretofore beleaguered Missoula pitching staff. The O's lost the first three games by scores of 16-3, 8-9 in 10 innings and 17-5. Osprey starter Ramon Sanchez displayed a hopped-up fastball and went six full innings. The Brewers, who had 27 hits and 25 runs off Missoula starters in the first three games, got only three and two off Sanchez, a 6-foot-3 right-hander from the Dominican Republic. Southpaw Vince Davis finished the game for Missoula with a perfect final four outs. Shortstop Pedro Ciraco had his third multi-hit game with three singles, and three other O's had doubles as Missoula outhit Helena 12-5. What's more, the Osprey backed up their moundsmen with their first errorless game. "It was the best game of the series," said right fielder Greg Thomson, who had one of the doubles and owns a three-game hitting streak. "We played good defense, got big hits when we had to, and guys swung the bats well. Good pitching, too. We were close." Still it was no cigar again. Helena has won 18 of its last 20 meetings with Osprey teams. Alonso's clout came after Green, from Louisiana-Monroe, walked Mike Bell and Angel Salome with one out. A 19-year-old who hit seven home runs for Polk Community College of Florida this spring, Alonso hit his second in three games for Helena on an 85-mph sinker that didn't sink. Brendan Katin, like Alonso a slugger from Florida, belted a tape-measure solo shot off Sanchez in the fifth inning that didn't miss the Clark Fork River by too far. Missoula trailed 5-3 after Alonso's home run in the top of the eighth. The Osprey chopped one run off the deficit in the bottom of the inning when Josh Terrell singled to left, then escaped a jam between first and second when left fielder Agustin Septimo's throw skipped past two infielders, including Alonso at first base. He was assessed the only error of the game. Terrell scooted all the way to third base, then scored on Bryan Byrne's ground out to second. Rusty Ryal followed with a ground-rule double, but Josh Louis came on to get the final two Missoula batters to pop out. Ciriaco singled with two outs in the ninth, but Thomson stung a grounder that tracked the foul line into Alonso's glove at first. He stepped on the bag to end the game. "It's like I said before, as long as we get our pitchers ready to go, and it's going to take like a week, we're going to be all right," said De La Cruz. "We're going to play good defense, we're going to have a good offense, and pitchers are going to be the difference." Helena's Ronny Malave got the victory, Louis the save. Helena Box Score: The Osprey scraped together some runs charged to 2002 3rd round pick Eric Thomas in the 3rd inning, but welcome back, Eric -- that first live pitch in nearly three years must have felt great; nice job by the bullpen behind Thomas, including the pro debuts of two 2004 draft-and-follow signings, Derek Miller and Josh Louis...

Final: Huntsville 14, Mobile (Padres) 3 Huntsville Site Game Summary: Nelson Cruz belted two home runs and drove in five runs to power Huntsville to a 14-3 win over Mobile in the final game of a four-game set Friday night at Hank Aaron Stadium. The Stars won their third straight game to lift their second half record to 3-1 and into a first place tie with Carolina in the North Division, while the BayBears slipped to 1-3 in the second half and 29-45 overall. The Stars won a third consecutive road game for the first time this year and did so by belting a season-high four home runs and rapping out a season-best eight extra base hits. Vinny Rottino started the power surge with a solo home run in the first inning to left-center field, his second two-out long ball in the first frame in three days. It was Rottino?s fifth home run of the season and his second against Mobile starter and loser Travis Chick. Nelson Cruz then drew a walk and Brandon Gemoll followed with a home run to right field, his third of the year and the third time the Stars had gone deep twice in an inning this season. Stars starter Manny Parra yielded two singles and a walk to load the bases with one out in the home first but worked out of trouble by fanning Corey Smith and Steve Baker. Tony Gwynn, Jr.?s two-out double in the second scored Jeff Winchester to push the Stars? lead to 4-1 and the visitors then tacked on five runs in the third to move out to a 9-1 advantage. Rottino worked a leadoff walk and Nelson Cruz followed with a two-run clout, his 14th of the year. Winchester would knock in a run with an infield hit, Chick would wild pitch home another run and Parra would cap the frame with a run-scoring double, his third extra base hit of the season. Chick suffered his second loss to the Stars in three starts and has been charged with nine runs in each of the defeats. Parra would allow an unearned run in the fourth and a Mike Richardson home run in the fifth and would be taken out after five innings, his shortest outing since going only four in a loss to the BayBears in Mobile on May 11. The left-hander gave up seven hits and issued a season-high three walks, while striking out six and ending three frames with a punchout. Parra won his third consecutive start to square his season record at 5-5. The Stars added two runs in the sixth inning and closed the scoring on a Nelson Cruz two-out, three-run home run, his 15th of the year, in the seventh. The Stars scored 14 runs for a second straight night and a third time this season, also doing so in a 14-13 win over Tennessee on April 28 when Nelson Cruz hit a walk-off home run in the tenth inning, his second long ball of that game. Rottino became the first Stars hitter to score four times in a game this season and finished with three hits for a second straight night. Mike Meyers worked four scoreless frames to earn the save and match Alec Zumwalt for the longest outing by a Stars reliever this season. He allowed five hits and struck out four and has now given up just one run in eight innings of work since joining the Stars. The Stars begin a four-game set with Jacksonville Saturday night at Joe Davis Stadium with left-hander Ryan Costello taking the hill against Suns right-hander William Juarez.

Final: Albuquerque (Marlins) 9, Nashville 5 Nashville Site Game Summary: Sounds Blow Late Lead, Fall To Isotopes 9-5ALBUQUERQUE ? The Albuquerque Isotopes rallied for eight runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to erase a four-run deficit and post a 9-5 victory over the Nashville Sounds on Friday evening in the finale of a four-game series at Isotopes Park. The loss, Nashville?s fourth in games that they led after the seventh inning (29-4), netted the Isotopes a split of the four-game series. Every Nashville position player recorded a hit in the contest. Sounds outfielder Corey Hart recorded his second straight four-hit game, a 4-for-4 evening that included his team-leading 20th double of the year. The Sounds scored the game?s first run in the top of the second inning when Tony Zuniga led off the frame with a double then later came home on a double-play grounder. Red-hot Nashville second baseman Warren Morris upped the Sounds? lead to 3-0 in the third when he slugged his third home run of the series, a two-run shot to right off Isotopes starter Bryan Corey. Trent Durrington, who extended Nashville?s longest hitting streak of the season to 16 games with a bunt single earlier in the inning, scored on the tater. Audio Link to Warren Morris' HR: www.nashvillesounds.com/a...206-24.mp3 Albuquerque first baseman Todd Sears put the home team on the board in the bottom of the third with an RBI single before the Sounds put a pair of two-out runs on the board in the fourth to up the advantage to 5-1. Dave Krynzel plated Julio Mosquera with an RBI triple to center, then scored on a Durrington single. Neither team scored again until the bottom of the eighth, when the Isotopes rallied for eight runs against the Nashville bullpen to take a 9-5 lead. Left-hander Andy Pratt came on in relief of a very effective Gary Glover and retired only one of the five batters he faced. Mike Adams relieved Pratt with the bases loaded and the Sounds clinging to a 5-2 lead and was greeted by a Wilson Delgado RBI fielder?s choice grounder which made it a one-run game. Ryan Jorgensen followed with a two-run, game-tying single, resulting in Adams? second blown save in two opportunities. Pinch-hitter Chris Aguila put the home team in front, 6-5, with an RBI single before Mark Little, who had singled to open the frame, gave Albuquerque some breathing room with a two-out, three-run homer to center off Adams. The roundtripper was the outfielder?s 18th of the year. Isotopes reliever Pat Flury (1-1) was the beneficiary of the late comeback, picking up the victory after hurling a scoreless inning. Adams (0-1) took the loss after surrendering four runs in his two-thirds of an inning. Glover was denied his second victory for Nashville following a solid outing in which he allowed one unearned run on six hits while tallying seven strikeouts over seven innings. The right-hander left with a lead for the second straight outing but took a second straight no-decision due to another blown save by the bullpen. The Sounds continue their road trip on Saturday when they travel to Oklahoma to take on the RedHawks in a four-game series. Right-hander Ben Hendrickson (3-6, 4.54) will start the 7:05 p.m. CT opener for Nashville and face Oklahoma right-hander and Nashville native R.A. Dickey (0-2, 6.67). Nashville Box Score: Mike Adams drifts a bit further from Milwaukee; Chris Barnwell pinch-hit for a called-up-to-Milwaukee Trent Durrington in the 9th; not sure what more we can say about Corey Hart (the outfielder)...
