Final: West Tenn 4, Huntsville 2, 10 innings Huntsville Site Game Summary: Huntsville (13-12) stranded a season-high 13 runners and spoiled an outstanding effort from starting pitcher Jeff Housman in a frustrating 4-2, 10-inning loss to West Tenn (11-13) on Monday afternoon at Joe Davis Stadium. The Stars fell one-half game behind leader Birmingham in the Southern League West. Housman delivered his best performance of the season, fanning a personal and team season-high nine batters over six outstanding innings. Housman surrendered just three hits, walked none and left with Huntsville up, 2-1. Mike Mallory, whose average was under .200 entering the series, drove in his second run of the day and season with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly to tie the game. Mallory had two doubles in the game and is 6-for-11 in the series. In the 10th, Jaxx leadoff hitter Dwaine Bacon created a rally with his legs. The league?s top basestealer, Bacon drew a two-out walk. He promptly stole his 13th and 14th bases. On a 2-2 pitch from Stars closer Roberto Giron, Richard Lewis hit a flare off the end of the bat into shallow right field for a single, scoring Bacon for a 3-2 Jaxx lead. Aron Weston smoked Giron?s 1-0 offering into the rightfield corner for a double, scoring Lewis with an insurance run. Giron (0-1), whose earned run average was 0.82 entering the game, allowed just his second and third earned runs this year and suffered his first loss, permitting two hits and one walk while fanning two over two frames. Russ Rohlicek (2-1) picked up the win, walking three and fanning two in two hitless, scoreless innings. Jermaine Van Buren notched his third save, striking out the side in the 10th. The sixth and final game of the series starts at 10:05 a.m. on Tuesday morning at Joe Davis Stadium when righty Stars Chris Saenz (2-1, 3.37) meets Jaxx lefty Carmen Pignatiello (2-0, 4.13).

Final: Indianapolis 6, Toledo (Tigers) 4 Indianapolis Game Summary: Corey Hart collected a pair of hits, stole a base, and drove in three runs Monday afternoon as Indianapolis (15-7) defeated Toledo, 6-4, before a season-high crowd of 9,681 at Victory Field. Toledo scored single runs in each of the first three innings off Tribe starter Pedro Liriano (2-0) who collected the win. Liriano threw six innings, allowing five hits and three runs. He walked three and struck out three. With Liriano settled on the hill and Toledo nursing a 3-2 lead after four innings, Indianapolis mounted a comeback. The Indians scored one run in the fifth and three more in the sixth to take a 4-3 lead. Indianapolis added a pair of runs in the sixth, keyed by Hart?s double into the left center field gap off Mud Hens reliever Eric Eckenstahler, scoring Jon Nunnally, who had reached base on an RBI single. Nunnally finished with two hits, two runs scored and a RBI. "I have been trying to be patient at the plate," said Hart. "I got a few good pitches to hit today. We have so many guys in our lineup that can get the job done at the plate, that I don?t have to worry too much. We had a good road trip and now we?re concentrating on keeping the momentum going. The older guys on this club have done a great job showing us how to do things the right way and that has helped make my adjustment that much easier." Tribe closer Jason Childers entered the contest in the ninth inning, giving up a leadoff single to Andy Barkett, who scored on J.J. Hardy?s misplay of an Eric Owens? two-out bouncer to short. Mike DeFelice represented the tying-run of the game and struck out looking to give Childers a league-leading eighth save. Indianapolis begins a four-day, four-game homestand with Charlotte Tuesday on Ladies Night. The first 4,000 fans will receive a one-carat cubic zirconium. One lucky fan will receive a genuine diamond. Jewelers will be on hand to check the rocks to determine which is real.

Updates: In progress: Indianapolis 6, Toledo (Tigers) 3, after six innings Seems like both sources of audio are failing now... In progress: Huntsville 1, West Tenn (Cubs) 0, bottom of the fourth at "the Joe" LHP Jeff Housman cruising, a booming Prince Fielder double scores the game's lone run thus far -- the inning could have been bigger but for a Tony Gwynn, Jr. baserunning gaffe getting tossed out at third on a grounder to SS; ho-hum, Rickie Weeks plunked again (in the shoulder, he's OK). Housman got retribution by hitting the leadoff man in the following inning (Jeff, wait until two are out next time -- but then immediately induced a double-play grounder). That's it from me until this evening -- go Tribe - Stars - Mavs - Snappers! Who needs Mondays off, huh, Brewers?

Huntsville Times Game Story: Best headline of the season! A bat and Costello Who's on first? Almost nobody against new Stars pitcher in split By BROOKE MILAM It didn't take long for left-handed pitcher Ryan Costello to make himself at home in Huntsville. After being in town less than 24 hours, Costello earned his first win from the mound for the Huntsville Stars (13-11). Costello started in Huntsville's 5-1 win over the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx (10-13) in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader. West Tenn won the opener 4-0. "My plane got in at like 12:30 last night. I didn't even have money for a cab because I wanted to go by an ATM, but I didn't have much time to pack up," Costello said. Costello was on a fast track after being promoted from the Milwaukee Brewers' Single-A affiliate, the High Desert Mavericks, and he allowed West Tenn no runs in five innings, striking out five. He had most recently been used in relief for the Mavericks, but he said a starting role with the Stars doesn't change his mindset. "The last couple of outings I had at High Desert were of quality, so I was just hoping to continue that here," Costello said. "It's starting to set in that I'm in a new setting." Two hits in the first inning produced two runs for the Stars and they sustained momentum in the second, adding three more runs for an early 5-0 lead. West Tenn's lone run came in the sixth inning when a groundout by Micah Hoffpauir scored Jemel Spearman. Centerfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. scored two runs for the Stars and knocked in another and right fielder Jason Belcher was 2-for-3 and scored. Aron Weston was 2-for-3 for the Diamond Jaxx. Behind newcomer Costello's pitching, the Stars had extra motivation in the win after being shut out by West Tenn in the first game of the afternoon. The Diamond Jaxx had control early in that game after scoring three runs in the first inning. "I'd say winning percentage for teams scoring first is really good," Stars manager Frank Kremblas said. The Stars had a chance to regroup, but left the bases loaded in the third inning and left a total of six batters stranded in the game. "I would like us to be a little more aggressive, but we are swinging at bad pitches," Kremblas said of his players' decisions at the plate. "You can't do that. We really chased some tough pitches and gave them a chance to play ahead." Prince Fielder had a double and Belcher a single for the Stars' only two hits. Richard Lewis homered in the fifth inning for West Tenn's final run and shortstop Ronny Cedeno was 2-for-3. Dennis Sarfate (1-2) took the loss for the Stars and Renyel Pinto (2-2) struck out eight in earning the win.

Our first reports on the Snappers' visit to Clinton -- Beloit Daily News staff pieces together an account on the road action: www.beloitdailynews.com/504/snap3.htm Clinton newspaper account: From the Lumber Kings' perspective, obviously, but it does provide additional details... www.zwire.com/site/news.c...&rfi=6

LHP Jeff Housman struck out the first three West Tenn batters in the top of the first. Just a thought, perhaps it's not a totally fair statement, because the Brewers couldn't have quite foreseen the injuries to Chris Capuano, Mike Jones and Ryan Miller. But releasing Matt Parker from Indy so that Travis Phelps could be activated from the DL just prior to the injury run sure sent the organization into "scramble mode", along with the weather-induced run of double-headers as of late for the Stars.

As of noon Central, the Huntsville pre-game show on the reliable Huntsville audio is underway. LHP Ryan Costello is the pre-game guest. So yes fans, while we won't need overly detailed play-by-play blows, feel free to interject within the Link Report an occasional update for either game. Thanks!

In progress: Toledo (Tigers) 3, Indianapolis 2, after three innings RHP Pedro Liriano is on the mound for Indy... As has been the case so often this season, I'm unable to pull up proper audio from the 1430 WXNT web site for the Indy audio. As an alternative, you can listen to the Toledo broadcast here: www.mudhens.com/info/list...asp?view=5 The page makes you think there's a video link as well, but there is not.

Could the scorer actually have given Nolasco the win? It was my understanding that the official scorer only has discretion when a starter does not go 5 innings and the winning team has not surrendered the lead. In this game the lead was surrendered and High Desert took the lead again before Nolasco was in the game. Just looking for clarification on this. Thanks, Shelmark, you're right. I had forgotten that the Mavericks had come from behind in this one... Daily Press High Desert Game Story: Details on the Ballouli injury (tightness)... www.vvdailypress.com/cgi-...981,43302,

David Weiser's www.starsboxscore.com Huntsville update: STARS GO TO HIGH DESERT FOR ANOTHER ARMStars fans have yet to see ideal Sunday weather for baseball. Today was no exception for this double-header...... The game-time temperature was a brisk 54° thanks to a front that moved in 20 minutes after last night's game bringing rain that lasted all night into early morning. The sun came out to warm the patrons before the conclusion of the first game, but it warmed up above 59°......... Ideal running conditions though for some runners who participated in a "Fun Run" put on by the Huntsville Track Club after the first game, the third time they have put one on between halves of a double-header, and the earliest date for it I can remember. It was supposed to happen two weeks ago, but rain toook care of another Sunday that day. With Ryan Miller and Mike Jones on the DL, with no timetable for return, and the bullpen overworked because of make-up doubleheaders, manager Frank Kremblas and pitching coach Fred Dabney found themselves in a dilemma........ Even after getting Ryan Costello today from High Desert, they could ideally afford to use no more than four pitchers in this twin-bill. Paul Stewart was now in the rotation, and the only pitcher they could use if they absolutely had to was Roberto Giron, who pitched two innings last night and an inning Thursday........ It never came to that. And it never came down to using non-position players, such as Johnny Raburn, who threw a scoreless inning Friday......... Fernando Rijo and Brian Adams were the only options the Stars had in the bullpen........ Frank's starters had to hang in and go as long as they could so the pressure was on Dennis Sarfate and newcomer Costello. Ask Sarfate about pressure. After retiring the first two hitters, he loaded the bases in the 1st inning after a walk to Micah Hoffpauir (pronounced HOFF-power), an infield single by Matt Craig (that should have been an error charged to Rickie Weeks in all honesty), and another walk........ Up comes Mike Mallory as the Stars tried to squelch a rally. With Sarfate's pitch count already climbing after a series of 3-2 counts, Mallory hits a 1-2 breaking ball, blooping it into right-centerfield for a lazy hit. That scored Hoffpauir. Craig alertly scored as the throw came into third. Now Chris Barnwell decided he had a better chance to get the trailing runner at second, but the throw was not in time. Aron Weston never hesitated as he rounded third, scoring all the way from first........ Some alert baserunning by the Diamond Jaxx as the Stars could do nothing for all their throwing around the infield searching for an out.......... Just two hits in the inning, one of those questionable, gave the Diamond Jaxx a 3-0 lead........ The Stars really needed some mileage out of Sarfate, but after an inning, he threw 41 pitches....... Fortunately, he eventually settled down, retiring eight in a row, and fanned three in succession in the 3rd inning. The Stars were never able to capitalize on Renyel Pinto's wildness, for it was all they had going for them...... Pinto gave up just one hit over his six innings, but walked four. The Stars left four runners in scoring position in the first three innings, including a two-on, none-out situation in the third, when Brad Nelson struck out with the bases loaded to end the inning....... Pinto settled in, retiring the last 10 batters he faced and 12 of the last 13......... He also put the stopper on Tony Gwynn Jr.'s 14-game hit streak, the longest since Steve Scarborough's 15 in 2002. The second game was nearly a mirror image of the first....... Like the Diamond Jaxx in Game One, the Stars got all the runs they would need early, and even more importantly, a solid pitching performance from Ryan Costello, just at the right time....... Costello wasn't hit hard at all --- a single under the glove of a diving Chris Barnwell at third in the 2nd inning, and three really cheap hits in the 5th, two of them little squibs that landed in front of the plate, neither of which Kade Johnson could make a play on. It's rare to see an infield single to go so short a distance, let alone two in the same inning, yet it happened to Costello........ Costello may win himself a prolonged stay with the Stars after this appearance. Although his pitches didn't exactly burn a hole in Kade's glove, he had terrific command, using just 62 pitches and throwing 44 (71%) for strikes. Ben Christenson, the Diamond Jaxx starter, pitched to only four Stars, then left the game with some shoulder discomfort. He's lost the better part of the last three seasons over this. The clock, I think, has ticked past his career. He's already 26....... Christenson went full on leadoff hitter Tony Gwynn, Jr., then walked him. Gwynn stole on a 3-2 pitch to Jason Belcher, who struck out, then Rickie Weeks slapped a ball past the glove of Jemel Spearman, who was leaning toward the third base bag when it became obvious to him the hit and run was on. Spearman wound up leaning the wrong way, allowing the ball to get through into left, and Gwynn scored. After walking Prince Fielder, Christenson called for the hook on himself. Against new pitcher Jared Blasdell, who led the Florida State League in saves last season, Brad Nelson singled on an 0-1 pitch up the middle, scoring Weeks from second, but Blasdell retired the next two hitters........ In the 2nd inning, Enrique Cruz, who struck out twice in the first game after being inserted in a double-switch, and 3-for-40 in his last 14 games, hit Blasdell's 0-1 pitch into right-center, past Weston and all the way to the wall. Cruz, with lots of speed, made it into third standing up........ Costello struck out on a slider, but the Stars had some work to do........ Gwynn hit an 0-1 pitch up the middle to the right of the second base bag into center for a single to score Cruz. A single by Belcher moved Gwynn to second, then Blasdell hit Weeks on the fanny with a pitch to load the bases. In a little more than a week, Weeks has been plunked five times. Mike Kremblas, last year's HBP leader on the club, was plunked five times in three games against Carolina last August.. Prince Fielder, behind 0-2, hit one over the glove of Blasdell. Shortstop Josh Arteaga came in to short-hop the ball, then flipped the ball to 2nd baseman Richard Lewis behind him. Lewis was upended by Weeks, breaking up the double play, allowing Gwynn to score, making it 4-0. Belcher went to third. Time for Frankieball. Fielder broke for 2nd on a 2-2 pitch to Brad Nelson. He stole without a challenge as Lewis came in to cut off the throw to second to get Belcher heading home, but it was much too late --- the easiest looking double steal you'll ever see. It's almost as if the Diamond Jaxx were ceding both runs....... In any case, Nelson struck out to end the inning and Blasdell would settle down and retire nine of the next 11 hitters to face him. Micah Hoffpauir made the play of the game in the 5th inning of the second game and it's been a long while since I've seen a play I could put a star by, in contrast to last year, but anyway, Fielder hit a deep fly ball into the left corner I though may have a chance to go out if it stayed fair. The wind held it up and Hoffpauir was able to make a difficult sliding catch on his belly near the line........ Speaking of fielding excellence, the Stars have made just eight errors in their last 16 games going back to April 17 and three errors in their last 10. They haven't had a game where they've made more than one error since April 16. Quite a contrast to the start of the season when they made 17 errors in their first eight games!...... After all those errors, the Stars wound up making 24 in the month of April, the second fewest in Stars history for the first month of the season!...... On the other side of the coin, the Stars were 0-4 in shutout games in April, the worst record ever for that month. The Stars got some good news from Milwaukee. Mike Jones' elbow has no structural damage after an MRI was performed while the Stars were in Chattanooga. Rehab is his next stop. He was placed on the disabled list retroactively dating back to April 30 to make room for Ryan Costello........ Ryan Miller, who was off to a fast start for the Stars (2.17 ERA in April), has some soft tissue irritation on the back side of his elbow. He was placed on the DL retroactive to the 27th of April to make room for Fernando Rijo, Friday. The Stars continue this series at 12:05 tomorrow, with Jeff Housman (0-2, 5.19) to face Chadd Blasko (2-2, 4.74) for the first time. Blasko is the # 7 prospect in the Cubs' organization, right behind Bobby Brownlie, who was beaten in Saturday night's game by Reggie Rivard. Then the Stars will give a whole new meaning to day baseball when they finish this series Tuesday at 10:05 am, CDT. That means baseball with your early morning coffee and cereal for you fans on the West Coast, and the pre-game show will start 15 minutes prior, so you're looking at setting your alarm at --- oh, 7:45 am. Unreal...... It's supposed to be geared for a lot of schoolkids who will be getting bused to this game. If I'm lucky, I'll get to see the last inning when I get outta work, but it would have to be a three-hour game for that to happen. The team photog for the Beloit Snappers was in town this weekend to take pix of some former players. The Milwaukee Brewers acquired gadfly minor league pitcher Todd Erdos and assigned him to Indianapolis. If that name sounds familiar, it should. Erdos gave up the homer to Justin Bowles that tied up a desperately needed Game Four to keep the Stars alive in the 1997 Western Division Championship, a game that I chose in March as the greatest Stars game of all-time.

High Desert Site Game Summary: HINTON HOSES DOWN JETHAWKS MAVS TAKE TWO OUT OF THREE FROM SOUTHERN DIVISION RIVALHigh Desert Maverick first baseman Travis Hinton comes from a family that fights fires, with his father and brother serving in the Phoenix, Arizona fire department. Sunday, Hinton made sure he helped keep a Maverick offensive blaze burning, with the Mavs outslugging the Lancaster JetHawks 9-7 before 1,955 at Mavericks Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Hinton led the Mavericks (10-14) attack, going 3-for-3 at the plate along with two RBI?s and a walk, including the game-winning hit in the fifth inning. High Desert batted around for the third time in two games, this time sending nine men to the plate in the fifth to tally four runs off JetHawks reliever Enrique Gonzalez. Down 7-6, the Hinton?s two-run double for the Mavs highlighted the offensive flurry, smacking a Gonzalez pitch over the head of Lancaster centerfielder Jarred Ball, who severely misjudged the screaming fly-ball. Mario Mendez added an insurance run two batters later, sending Hinton home on a fielder?s choice. Jeremy Frost got the inning going with an RBI single to center. The Mavericks? rubber match victory capped off a wild weekend, where both teams combined to score 43 runs in the three games at Mavericks Stadium. After the Mavs scored first in the first inning on Jeff Eure?s RBI single, both teams scored the last 16 runs of the ballgame in the third through fifth innings. After Lancaster (15-9) tied the score in the third, High Desert answered back with two runs in the bottom of the inning, capped by an RBI single by Callix Crabbe to make it 3-2. Mavericks starter Khalid Ballouli cruised along through the first three innings but had to exit early for precautionary injury reasons. Craig Breslow relieved Ballouli and surrendered four runs in the fourth, all on a Jamie D?Antona grand-slam to left to put Lancaster up 5-3. The Mavs got two back in the bottom of the inning on a bases-loaded walk drawn from Chris Morris, and an RBI sacrifice-fly by Crabbe. Lancaster got two more runs in the fifth to go up 7-5, but the Mavs struck back in the bottom of the inning for the four decisive runs. Breslow (1-0) who picked up the win for the Mavs, was followed by stellar bullpen relief from David Nolasco, who tossed three scoreless innings, and Nick Slack, who collected his second save with a scoreless ninth inning. The Mavs take on the visiting Lake Elsinore Storm on Monday night, beginning a four-game series with the Storm at Mavericks Stadium. Eric Henderson (0-1) will take the mound for High Desert on Monday against Lake Elsinore counterpart Jon Huber (1-2), with the first pitch at 7:05 p.m (9:05 Central). High Desert Box Score: Technically, I believe the official scorer could have awarded the victory to a much more effective David Nolasco, but hey, it's a win; thanks, Pogokat, for posting this box earlier during the overnight...

With Beloit in Apple-ton for 6:35 starts on four consecutive nights beginning on Monday, wondering if Al the Thinking Man or others from that part of the state will be providing any first hand accounts. Checking out LHP Greg Kloosterman Monday night is a fine choice. Of course, there's always Sweet Lou Palmisano (man, I hate giving up "Cap'n"), who's likely to DH on any night he's not catching.

Indianapolis Game Summary: In a contest highlighted by six errors, Toledo (11-13) defeated Indianapolis (14-7), 6-5, behind the hitting of Nook Logan, who was three for five with three RBI and two runs scored. Toledo scored five runs in the first two innings off Tribe starter Ben Hendrickson. Hendrickson (3-1) entered the outing with a league-leading three wins and fourth-best 1.66 ERA. Logan led the charge for the Mud Hens with a leadoff single off Hendrickson in the first. Warren Morris reached base on an error, then Andy Barkett unloaded a two-run double to score Logan and Morris. In the second, Logan smashed a two-run homer to right field, sending the Mud Hens ahead 5-0. "I got behind in the count and just put my barrell on the ball and hit it to right," said Logan. "With the wind blowing out to right this afternoon, anybody could have hit one out. It?s the first time that we beat these guys this year. I?ve been doing a lot of work in the batting cages with (coach) Bull Durham. I?m getting more consistent." Indianapolis scored a single run in the second inning off Toledo starter Andy Van Hekken (1-2). Chris Coste singled to right field scoring Jeff Liefer, who had led off the frame with a double down the right field line. Steve Scarborough tripled to right field for Indianapolis in the third. One out later, J.J. Hardy hit a sacrafice fly to score Scarborough to cut the Toledo lead to 5-2. Toledo scored a single run in the fourth. This would prove to be the game winning run as Marcus Thames reached base on an error charged to third baseman Scarborough. He later came around to score on Joe Vitiello?s single to left field. The Tribe made it interesting. Indianapolis scored a pair of runs in the fifth, keyed by Scarborough?s double to cut the margin to 6-4. Then, the Tribe scored its final run of the afternoon in the sixth inning off reliever Chris Mears as Corey Hart walked, stole second base and scored on Hardy?s infield single. In the ninth, Toledo closer Franklin German walked Hardy to lead off the inning, but put down the next three Tribe hitters to earn his sixth save of the season. The two teams meet again in the final game of a four-game series at 11 a.m. Monday on Baseball In Education Day. More than 8,000 school-age kids are expected to attend the game and participate in pre-game and in-game festivities.

Huntsville Site Game Summary: The Stars and Diamond Jaxx played game one on Sunday afternoon, then someone used the Xerox machine to create the game two script, only the original was inverted. Though the scores were not identical, the two games mirrored each other. West Tenn (10-13) won the first, 4-0, after scoring three in the first and cruising behind lefty Renyel Pinto?s outstanding pitching. Huntsville (13-11) won the second, 5-1, after scoring two in the first and riding the left arm of newcomer Ryan Costello. The Stars moved one-half game in front in the Southern League West. Costello (1-0), donning a Stars uniform for the first time, authored five shutout frames in game two, allowing four singles, two on the infield, while walking one and fanning five. He won his Southern League debut, pitching out of his only jam in the fifth, when the Jaxx loaded the bases with two outs on a bloop-single and two infield dribblers. Costello induced pinch-hitter Matt Criag to ground into a force play at third to end the inning. Pinto, shelled by Huntsville over two innings on April 22 at West Tenn, dominated in game one despite issuing a season-high four walks over six innings. He surrendered only Prince Fielder?s first-inning double and fanned eight, also a personal season-high. Pinto (2-2) stranded five Stars runners, four in scoring position, over the first three frames, including pitching out of a two-on, none-out jam in the third, when Brad Nelson struck out with the bases loaded to end the inning. Pinto settled in, retiring the last 10 batters he faced and 12 of the last 13. Rickie Weeks, Nelson, Tony Gwynn, Jr. and Fielder drove in game two runs for the Stars, and Huntsville?s final tally came on an unlikely double steal. With runners at first and third and two outs in the second, Fielder broke for second. The throw was late, and shortstop Josh Arteaga cut it off in front of the bag. Jason Belcher got a great jump and stormed down the line from third. Arteaga had no play, hanging on to the ball as Belcher scored for a 5-0 Stars lead. The Stars and Jaxx play game five of the six-game series Monday at 12:05 p.m. at Joe Davis Stadium. Huntsville lefty Jeff Housman (0-2, 5.19) meets West Tenn righty Chadd Blasko (2-2, 4.75).

Final: High Desert 9, Lancaster (Diamondbacks) 7 Big game for Travis Hinton; David Nolasco and Nick Slack close the door over the final four innings; Khalid Ballouli limited to a three-inning start in what was called a "cautionary move"...

Noticed in Sunday's box score that LHP Mitch Stetter made a scoreless season debut with the Snappers in a relief stint. Stetter was expected to be in the Beloit rotation to open the season, but had been held back in extended spring training. Stetter, 23 years old, was 6-2 with a 3.95 ERA and a very impressive 63-to-12 K/BB ratio in 54.2 IP in 2003 with Helena. If Stetter can work his way into the rotation after being stretched out, he'd join Dana Eveland and Greg Kloosterman as promising southpaw starters at the low-A level for the Brewers.

Thanks, matthewcmeq! Final, Game Two: Huntsville 5, West Tenn (Cubs) 1 Details later... As of 6:45 Central, it's 9-7 Mavericks with High Desert threatening for more in the bottom of the 5th in Adelanto; check out this wild one at the link above...

If Ben Hendrickson shines again today, there's really not a better setting for his big league debut than on the road in front of smallish crowds against offensively-challenged teams like the Expos and Mets on the next road trip. I can not stomach the fact that Matt Kinney, Wes Obermueller, and Victor Santos are slated for starts next week. Where's the vomit emoticon?
