|
|---|---|
| Preview: | The 4-2 Falcons host the 1-5 Defenders of the Alamo…Let’s see what happened. |
| Game #1: | Bottom of the 3rd and the wheels on the bus fell off for the Alamo…it wasn’t their defense but the Birds scored 4 times capped by a 2 run bomb by Trout who put a dent in a Delivery truck driving by on I-94. Castillo pumped up the volume and blazed a fastball in the 98mph range and Trout cranked on it and Statcast said it landed 474 feet on Trumbell ave took once bounce and hit the Fish delivery truck parked on side of I-94 changing a flat tire. After the game Trout signed the delivery truck near the dent… PRA 4 – ALA 2 |
| Game #2: | All Yamamoto 8 innings 2 hits 1 run and Saalfrank kept his elbow in tact for the moment and set defenders down in order for the save.

| Game #5: | Trout with 2 more dingers and Merrill rips one of his own to provide the scoring for Falcons – Croney ripped 4 hits but the defenders put a series of single rbi’s and really took advantage of the opportunities they had…Tristan Casas came in to play defense after we pinch ran with Gelof for Schanuel but he tripped on the first base chalk line and left the game due to embarrassment and will sit for 3 days just to see if he can get his composure back ALA 5 – PRA 4 |
| Game #6: | Castillo back on the hill vs Cam Schlitter and Luis was more his form giving up just 4 hits and a run on a triple by Lee followed by a Schanual double – Did you guys ever look at Jung Ho Lee’s weird looking card? Schlitter went the distance but it was a Brady House two run throw that skipped past a diving Schanuel allowing 2 runners to score in the 3rd inning ALA 3 – PRA 1 |
| Summary:: | 3-3 Kiss of the Sister…Alamo gets a day off and then travels to Gainsville for their first taste of interleague play…while the Falcons stay right here and host the Evil Empire – Tempe…Giancarlo Stanton has been well rested and will be inserted in the lineup to face Tempe in hopes of eliminating the Death Star….next year we would like to play them on May 4th – it will give us a better mantra… |

Yucaipa Road Runners @ Columbus Explorers |
|
|---|---|
| Preview: | Yucaipa, off a big opening week going 5-1, come to Columbus where there are some interesting rumblings going on. Just before the 1st game Brett Harris is activated and Miguel Andujar is left off the active roster? Are the Explorers making moves, stay tuned…. |
| Game #1: | Columbus jumps to a 2-0 lead in the 1st, but Yucaipa reverses it with 2 in the 2nd and another in the 3rd Turang (2) a 2 run blast. Taylor (3) a solo shot. Columbus ties in their half. Then a Jackson (1) homer in the 5th and it’s 4-3 Road Runners. But then Jordan Beck unloads (2) for a 3 run homer in the 6th and Columbus holds on. YRR 4- 8-1 LP MeGill (1-1) COL 6-10-1 WP Sears (1-0) S Diaz (2) |
| Game #2: | This time Columbus gets all the early scoring with 2 in the 2nd and 4 in the 3rd – the four on a Varsho (1) grand slam. Yucaipa cuts the lead to 6-2 on a 2 run Jacob Westburg homer (1), then in the 9th, with 2 outs, Alvarez connect (1) for another 2 run shot and it’s 6-4. Diaz comes in for the final out and the save. YRR 4-6-0 LP Bassitt (1-1) COL 6-8-0 WP Assad (1-0) S Diaz (3) |
| Game #3: | Sugano gets the start for the Road Runners and fans 8 in 7.1 innings but he gives up 7 hits and 4 of them were homers: Kiki Hernandez (2), Lukes (2), Varsho (4), and Oswald Peraza (1)! Hernandez’s was for 2 runs and that easily carried Columbus to a 5-1 victory. Shane Smith was in command, 6.1 innings, 2 hits, 1 run. YRR 1-2-0 LP Sugano (0-2) COL 5-8-0 WP Smith (2-0) S Uribe (1) |
| Game #4: | Well good things come to an end, especially when your solid defense gives up 4 errors (and SIX unearned runs!) – yes that was 6 UER!. Score was tied at 3-3 going into the 5 when Columbus miscues allow 4 run to score. Westburg hits his 3rd of the year for 2 runs, Clemens drives in 2. Sanoja goes 3 for 5. Columubs starter Gomez was shaking his head alot – he didn’t pitch too poorly, but. Then the Explorers tried a comeback with last homers from Lukes (3) and Peraza – again (2), but it was too little, too late. Romero comes in and gets his 4th save to close it out. YRR 7-10-0 WP Blalock (2-0) S Romero (4) COL 5-14-4 LP Gomez (0-2) |
| Game #5: | Woo hoo – Woo gets the Yucaipa start and doesn’t last long, 2.2 innings. 4 hits, 4 walks and 5 runs gets his day done quickly. Johan Rojas has a big day going 3 for 5, 2 runs, rbi. Columbus then gets 3 more runs off the bullpen as Beck drives in 3, Donovan drives in 2 and gets his 1st homer. Meanwhile, David Peterson puts in a solid day giving up 2 runs in 6.2 innings for the win. YRR 2-5-2 LP Woo (2-1) COL 8-9-0 WP Peterson (1-2) |
| Game #6: | Rematch of Megill and Sears and with the Explorers up 3-2 after 6, Sears is called back as he headed out for the 7th – and fans noticed his teammates greeting him differently as he entered the dugout – farewells??? You wonder if he should have stayed – Uribe came in in the 7th and with 2 outs, he gives up the tying run to earn a BS. And it was a long time coming before another run was scored. 3-3 at this point with 2 of the Road Runners runs coming on solo homers from Turang (3) and Basallo (1) – Rocchio had 3 hits, 2 doubles and he drove in the other run. Columbus got all 3 of their runs in the 3rd on a McCarthy (2) Baltimore Special! But after the 7th neither team could score off the other teams bullpens. MeGill actually pitched into the 10th, leaving with 1 out (none on). Columbus relied on Uribe for 2 innings after he gave up the tying run, then Bernardino went 2.2 innings (1 hit) and then Chase Lee – Lee going 2 pitching the 12th and 13th! But leading off the bottom of the 13th, with Rodriguez on the mound (2.2 ip already in relief), Kike Hernandez leads off with a big walk-off homer (3) and a Columbus win. Fans began to wonder where Edwin Diaz was – they hadn’t seen him since game 2 …… YRR 3-9-1 LP Rodriguez (0-1) 13 innings COL 4-7-0 WP Lee (1-0) BS Uribe (1) |
| Summary: | Columbus takes the series 5 games to 1 in a surprise week of hitting and decent pitching. But the bigger news were the fans learning the Miguel Andujar, Edwin Diaz, Tobias Myers and J.P. Sears were packing their bags for WS run with the Sacramento Capitals! But the fans also got the news that the team was getting some promising young players in 2b/SS Chae Meidroth, OFer Parker Meadows, young reliever Angel Chivilli and starter Will Warren. Plus they will be moving up in the draft next year! Can Uribe move into the closer role? |
