The offense once again went ballistic tonight! We shelled them for 12 hits and 7 runs including 2 Ding-Dongs! Rodney Bolton gave up one run in 6 innings and got out of a couple jams and Brewer ran us another scoreless inning before Ryan Nye pitched the final 2 frames for the completion. We got to walk out on the field and measure up the fence, and we got to talk to Sean after the game by the locker room with his Family.In the monetary segment of the evening, three members of the club went in on Fesh's Miner Jersey and Hat and Bobbo managed to pick up the whole Joel Bennett package with some grad money. (See debts later) heheheheh
Other notes from the hitting department: Jon Zuber who turned in a great play in the field went 4-5 with 3 RBI. Lou Frazier continued his assault going 2-4 and scoring 2 runs I believe he stole a base as well, but the box score gives no credit. Lucca had a double to drive in a run and that's about it! GREAT GAME HITTERS!!
MY TWO CENTS by Dave Lefchak June 20, 1999 The Scranton Miners crushed the Columbus Redbirds tonight by the old-school score of 7-1. Here are some of my insightful ramblings about this glorious occasion: The Arkansas Blast parade returned to LCS tonight, with Wendell Magee and Darren "Don't Call Me Essex" Burton hitting jacks. Darren's homer was his 1,000th hit in professional baseball!! Way to get to 1,000 in style Darren!! The Barons offense is back! RUNS IN YOUR FACE!!!! Rodney Bolton FINALLY got off the enormous schneid he was on tonight with an impressive performance. Although he got touched up early by Alonzo Powell's blast to deep center, he settled down and only allowed 1 run in 6 innings. Congrats Rodney, you've got some respect! On a night when it was thought that you could not find a player for the Trojan Boner of the Game Award, such a player was found in Bobby Estalella. Since Steve Carver was benched (THANK GOD!) Estalella picked up the slack in his absence by not hustling at all. He even screwed up a throw down to second, but Torey Lovullo saved it from going into center field. Congrats Bobby. On that previous note....... BRING BACK CLEMENTE ALVAREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fesh did not pitch, however Ryan Nye was stellar from the pen in the 8th and 9th innings. He better get back in the rotation fast to eliminate the Bad Starter Syndrome that has been going around lately. HAPPY FATHERS DAY STEVE SCHRENK!!!!!!!!!!!!! John Davies looked very Max Mercy-esque tonight in his turn back the clock suit. He really is a nice guy with an awesome voice. We can't wait for Fanovision July 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's my two cents, gang. GET YOUR ASSES IN THE SEATS AGAINST COLUMBUS! And always remember, enjoy the FESHtival.
