Indianapolis Site Game Summary: INDIANAPOLIS -- The Louisville Bats hit three home runs Monday night as they defeated the Indianapolis Indians 6-5 at Victory Field. A disputed long ball that was taken away from the Indians proved to be the difference in the game. Trailing 2-0 in the third inning, the Tribe's Jason Conti went the opposite way and hit what appeared to be a solo home run over the left field wall. Third base umpire Don Goller ruled that the ball had hit the wall and bounced over the fence for a ground rule double. Despite protests from Conti, third base coach Gaylen Pitts, and manager Cecil Cooper, the call stood and Conti returned to second base where he was stranded. After the Bats (55-36) stretched the lead to 4-0, the Indians (39-50) rallied to tie the game with a four-run sixth. Wilton Veras reached on an error by shortstop Felipe Lopez to start the inning. Steve Scarborough hit a pinch-hit double to put two runners on base. Bill Hall doubled them home then came around to score on Jim Rushford's seventh home run of the season. Louisville made a winner out of Mark Watson (2-2) and a loser out of Jason Childers (1-3) in the eighth when Ruben Mateo and Brandon Larson hit back-to-back home runs leading off the inning. Rushford drove in a run for the Indians in the bottom of the eighth, and the Indians loaded the bases against John Bale, but they couldn't push across the tying run. Bale retired the Tribe in order in the ninth for his second save. The Indians' homestand continues Tuesday at 7 p.m. when the Norfolk Tides come to Victory Field to open a four-game series. Indianapolis Star Game Story: www.indystar.com/print/ar...1-036.html Indianapolis Box Score: Bill Hall's two errors push his season total to 19 (some at 2B, one in the OF); Jim Rushford still about 40 plate appearances shy of qualifying for the league's batting race...

Louisville (Reds) 6, Indianapolis 5 Jason Childers gave up two HR's in the top of the 8th to break a 4-4 tie. Indy cut it 6-5 in the bottom of the 8th as Ryan Knox doubled and Jim Rushford drove him in (Rushford hit his 7th HR earlier in the game). Still in the 8th, the Tribe had bases loaded, only one out, but the underperforming duo of Jason Conti and Wilton Veras could not come through. Indy went down 1-2-3 in the ninth, all she wrote.

I'm so sorry.... Huntsville's game has been suspended, not postponed! Huntsville Site Game Summary (so far): www.huntsvillestars.com/s...newsId=199 David Weiser's www.starsboxscore.com Huntsville Update: Click on the name of David's site just above to see the partial boxscore... Well, if you want to see a good side to all of this, I have this to offer...... First, the Bay Bears will lose their momentum when this game is picked up on August 5. Also, Ben Hendrickson's doctors say he is free and clear of his elbow problems and they "never saw an elbow as clean as his."....... They couldn't even find bone chips or scarring........ That certainly is good news, for one would have doubts if one didn't know after tonight's rain-shortened game. Skies were mostly cloudy and threatening when the game started, and in fact, it started 35 minutes late because of a deluge an hour before the game, necessitating some groundskeeping........ But raindrops didn't begin to fall again until the top of the 2nd inning. It stopped momentarily, then began to come down while Kevin Reinking was batting in the top of the 3rd, in the middle of a big Bay Bear rally...... When play was halted after 2 1/3 innings, Ben had thrown nearly 70 pitches, after being hit hard in each inning. The Bay Bears jumped on him early in the first. Freddy Guzman hit his first pitch up the middle for a single, an omen for what was to come........ He scored on a single by Jake Gautreau. A passed ball resulted in the second run......... After 28 pitches, the first inning came to an end for Ben and the Stars, who were down 2-0. Manager Frank Kremblas was forced to improvise with his lineup tonight because he had only two outfielders........ Dave Krynzel was sitting out this game after fouling a ball off his leg Friday night, and Ryan Knox was promoted suddenly to Indianapolis to replace Doug Jennings, who returned home on personal business. Jennings is expected to rejoin the Indians on July 12. After that, we'll see if they keep Ryan... Catcher Mike Kremblas was installed in right field, where he saw little action tonight, but unlike Chris Barnwell and Corey Hart, he actually had some outfield experience behind him, 17 games in fact. In the third inning, after Hendrickson struck out Jake Gautreau, five straight batters reached base with hits....... After a double to the right field wall by Danny Bravo, J.J. Hardy made a fine backhand stop on a hard hit ball by the game's other J.J. (Furmaniak). Stopping the grounder from going through the hole, Hardy spun, but threw the ball wide to third. Hendrickson backed up the play, so Bravo did not advance, but Furmaniak took second on the error....... Vince Faison would drive in Bravo with a single to center on a 1-2 pitch, and Reinking singled to right to score Furmaniak, then took second on Noochie Varner's errant attempt to throw out Faison at third........ Steve Watkins capped the scoring with a two-run double to right-center as the rain fell heavy on the field, making the score, 7-0........ After a half-hour, with the rain not letting up, and two weathermen in the stands casting spells, the game was called. Derek Lee lasted five innings in his start against Louisville in the second game of a double-header, but he gave up four runs in the first before settling down....... Brandon Larson did most of the damage with a no-out, bases-clearing double following leadoff singles by Felipe Lopez, Jason Maxwell, and Ruben Mateo to start the game. Felipe Crespo lifted a sacrifice fly to right field that scored Larson two batters later giving the Bats a 4-0 lead. When the Stars come back after the All-Star break, they will head to Tennessee, where Pedro Liriano (5-9, 2.96) will get the start....... Hopefully by then, we will either have some pitching help, another outfielder, or both.

In Progress: Lake Elsinore (Padres) 13, High Desert 7, after six innings Mavericks scored all seven of their runs in the 7th; on the pitching side of things, even Justin Backsmeyer, recently discussed here and a possible Huntsville call-up candidate, has been smacked around. By the way, High Desert's LF tonight is making his first OF appearance in his pro career. He made an error on the only ball hit to him, a low liner, thus far. His name is Brad Nelson...hmmmm...

Avoiding the score all day and evening, I click on mlb.com's archive tonight and listen away. As the bottom of the 7th begins (the key inning, I find out later), the WTMJ feed goes silent until DeJean's entrance in the bottom of the ninth. I suppose I could have tried the Rockies feed, but sheesh. Thanks for nothing, mlb.com! Brewers win http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

hsvstarsfan (David Weiser), what have you heard about an 11th pitcher for the Stars? With the three-day Southern League All-Star break now here (Monday - Wednesday), it seems the Brewers are able to delay their decision. Current Huntsville Rotation: Hendrickson - Jones - Liriano - Martinez - Mike Adams Current Huntsville Bullpen: Matt Childers - Miller - Parker - Ray - Brian Adams You might think Ryan Knox will return to the Stars when Doug Jennings returns to Indy next week (see Transactions thread).

Looks like Ben Hendrickson gets a big-time do-over, or mulligan, if you will... Mobile at Huntsville, postponed, rain SOU MOBILE AT HUNTSVILLE NOTE: THE GAME IS BEING DELAYED BY RAIN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE THIRD INNING. CURRENT SCORE: MOBILE 7, HUNTSVILLE 0.Postponed since that final update, no word yet on a reschedule date.

In conjunction with Ryan Knox's call-up, from the Indy Site: OF Doug Jennings has been placed on the restricted list. He has returned home to attend to personal business, and is expected to rejoin the team on July 12.

Game Two: Louisville (Reds) 6, Indianapolis 1 Indy Site Doubleheader Summary: INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Indians and Louisville Bats split a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon at Victory Field. The Tribe picked up the win in the first game 4-3, and the Bats picked up the victory in the second game 6-1. The Indians won the opener 4-3, scoring two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning off newly promoted Bats reliever Ryan Wagner. Wagner (0-1), the Reds' top draft pick in the June draft from the University of Houston, allowed four hits including RBI singles to Bill Hall and Jim Rushford in his Triple-A debut. David Manning (5-4) earned the win for the Tribe in the first game, pitching around six hits and six walks in his five innings of work while allowing only two runs. Roberto Giron pitched the ninth inning for Indianapolis allowing a one-out solo home run to Ruben Mateo before closing the door on Louisville for his 13th save of the season. Hall provided most of the offensive support for the Indians in the first game, going 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI. Louisville jumped out to an early lead in the nightcap, scoring four runs in the top of the first inning against Tribe starter Derek Lee. Brandon Larson did most of the damage with a no-out, bases-clearing double following leadoff singles by Felipe Lopez, Jason Maxwell, and Mateo to start the game. Felipe Crespo lifted a sacrifice fly to right field that scored Larson two batters later giving the Bats a 4-0 lead. The Tribe got one run back on Jim Rushford's solo home run in the bottom of the first, cutting the lead to 4-1 against Bats starter Seth Etherton. That was as close as the Tribe got in game two, however, as Etherton (6-5) allowed only four more hits the rest of the game in picking up a complete-game victory in game two. Lee (0-1) took the mound for the Tribe to start the nightcap, allowing four runs and six hits in his first appearance with the Tribe since the 2000 season. The Indians (39-49) and Bats (53-36) will conclude the four-game series on Monday night at Victory Field when Travis Miller (6-2, 4.72) takes the mound for the Tribe to face Scott Randall (6-1, 3.74) and Louisville. Indianapolis Game Two Box Score: Derek Lee would like to have that first inning back; Ryan Knox with his AAA debut; nice to see Jim Rushford hasn't lost his power bat, something casual Brewer fans saw no glimpse of last September...
