Game 1 - Ocala at Fleetwood

Roy Oswalt (16-6, 3.75 ERA) vs. Justin Duchscherer (13-3, 3.16 ERA)

This opening game between the NL West champion Ocala Ocelots (99-63) and the NL Central champion Fleetwood Walkers (122-40) appeared primed to be a pitchers' duel. This would not be the case, as Ocala stormed out to an early 3-0 lead on a J.D. Drew sacrifice fly in the 1st and an Emilio Bonifacio two-run single in the 2nd.

Fleetwood stormed back in the bottom of the 3rd, tying the game on a 3-run homer by Jim Edmonds. Each team then traded single runs in the 4th inning, leaving the game tied 4-4.

The Walkers took their first lead on a Howie Kendrick home run in the 6th. The lead was short-lived, though, as Todd Helton hit a round-tripper of his own in the 7th to tie the game 5-5.

Ocala's Mike Lowell began the 8th with an easy flyball to center field. The sure-handed Carlos Beltran dropped the ball, though, putting the lead-off runner on 2nd against Fleetwood's Chad Billingsley. Out out later, Matt Kemp hit a double to drive Lowell home. A two-out walk to pinch-hitter Daniel Murphy knocked Billingsley out of the game in favor of lefty J.P. Howell. Howell then hit Grady Sizemore with a pitch to load the bases with two outs. Joe Mauer stepped in next, and coaxed a bases-loaded walk to put Ocala up 7-5.

Fleetwood went down meekly in the 8th and 9th, managing only a single baserunner in those two frames combined. Ocala had come from behind to take the opening game.

Final score: Ocala 7, Fleetwood 5.
W: Oswalt (3-0). L: Billingsley (1-1). SV: Arredondo (1).
HR: Helton (2), Edmonds (1), Kendrick (1).
Ocala leads series 1-0.

Game 2 - Ocala at Fleetwood
Jake Peavy (9-6, 3.09 ERA) vs. Zack Greinke (24-2, 2.42 ERA)

Another pitchers' duel seemed likely, with long-time Ocala ace Jake Peavy facing Fleetwood up-and-comer Zack Greinke. Again, though, each team's bats would be loud early.

Greinke seemed nervous in the 1st, surrendering a lead-off home run to Grady Sizemore and then back-to-back doubles by Joe Mauer and Todd Helton. J.D. Drew followed with a single, giving Ocala a quick 3-0 lead. Greinke escaped further damage in the 1st, but gave up another run in the 2nd on a bases-loaded walk to J.D. Drew. The Ocelots now led 4-0.

Fleetwood broke through with a solo homer by Miguel Cabrera in the 2nd, and then scored 3 more runs in the 3rd on a Rafael Furcal RBI double and a Nick Markakis two-run homer. Through 3 innings, the game was tied 4-4.

Ocala took the lead in the 6th on a lead-off homer by Sean Rodriguez. Back-to-back doubles by J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell in the 7th extended Ocala's lead to 6-4.

Fleetwood was again unable to mount a late-inning rally, managing just 1 baserunner in the final three innings. Ocala had taken its second straight game in Fleetwood, and was headed home in control of the series.

Final score: Ocala 6, Fleetwood 4.
W: Peavy (2-0). L: Greinke (1-1). SV: Arredondo (2).
HR: Sizemore (1), Rodriguez (1), Markakis (1), Miguel Cabrera (2).
Ocala leads series 2-0.

Game 3 - Fleetwood at Glen Allen
Ervin Santana (18-9, 3.43 ERA) vs. Nick Blackburn (18-7, 4.25 ERA)

Desperately needing a win, Fleetwood turned to the reliable Ervin Santana. Ocala continued its early-inning dominance, however, when Grady Sizemore hit yet another lead-off homer in the 1st inning (just as he had in Game 2). In the 3rd inning, the Ocelots extended their lead to 3-0 on an RBI triple by Sizemore and a sacrifice fly by Joe Mauer.

Meanwhile, Ocala's Nick Blackburn dominated Fleetwood's strong lineup. He would end up surrendering zero runs on just 2 hits and 2 walks before giving way to his bullpen after 6 full innings.

Once again, Fleetwood needed a late-inning rally. And, once again, the team was not up to the task. The Walkers went down in order in the 7th and 8th innings. Nick Markakis managed a one-out hit-by-pitch in the 9th, but was doubled-off first base on a David Wright lineout to end the game.

Ocala had taken a surprising 3-0 series lead, and was just one victory from a BRASSball World Series berth.

Final score: Ocala 3, Fleetwood 0.
W: Blackburn (2-0). L: Santana (0-1). SV: Arredondo (3).
HR: Sizemore (2).
Ocala leads series 3-0.

Game 4 - Fleetwood at Glen Allen
Daisuke Matsuzaka (16-6, 4.32 ERA) vs. Roy Oswalt (16-6, 3.75 ERA)

On the brink of elimination, Fleetwood turned to the shaky-but-perseverant Daisuke Matsuzaka. Meanwhile, Ocala brought back Game 1 starter Roy Oswalt on three-days rest.

For the 4th game in a row, Ocala scored in the opening frame. Matsuzaka began the game with back-to-back walks to Sizemore and Mauer, and then hit Nick Johnson with a pitch to load the bases. A groundout by J.D. Drew plated one run, but Matsuzaka was able to escape the jam without allowing another.

Fleetwood's Carlos Beltran quickly tied the game again in the 2nd inning, belting a lead-off homer off of Oswalt. Later in the same inning, Jason Bartlett followed a Howie Kendrick double with an RBI single, giving Fleetwood just its second lead of the series and its first since Game 1.

Ocala quickly erased that lead with 2 runs in the 3rd inning, and yet another run in the 4th on Grady Sizemore's third home run of the series. Through 4 innings, Ocala led 4-2.

Neither team scored in the 5th or 6th innings. In the top of the 7th, Fleetwood tied the game on RBI singles by Nick Markakis and pinch-hitter Ryan Doumit. The runs marked the team's first 7th-inning-or-later runs of the series, and kept the Fleetwood faithful's hope alive.

Neither team scored in the 8th. In the 9th, Sizemore reached base with a one-out single off of Fleetwood reliever Heath Bell. After a Sizemore stolen base, Fleetwood intentionally walked Joe Mauer to set up a double-play. Bell retired Todd Helton on a flyout to left field, but J.D. Drew delivered a clutch walk-off double with two outs. The hit scored Sizemore, and ended the series. Ocala had completed a shocking series sweep of the Fleetwood Walkers.

Congratulations to Corey and his Ocala Ocelots, who will face either Plaza or Hessville in the 2009 BRASSball World Series.

Final score: Ocala 5, Fleetwood 4.
W: Rowland-Smith (1-0). L: Bell (0-1).
HR: Beltran (1), Sizemore (3).
Ocala wins series 4 games to 0.

Series MVP: Ocala center fielder Grady Sizemore, who went 6 for 16 (.375) with one triple, three home runs, 2 stolen bases, 2 walks, one hit-by-pitch, and 8 runs scored.

NLDS Game Summaries: Glen Allen vs. Fleetwood

2009-10-03T23:26:00.029-05:00

Game 1 - Glen Allen at Fleetwood

Hiroki Kuroda (16-7, 3.15 ERA) vs. Justin Duchscherer (13-3, 3.16 ERA)

This series between the N.L. East Champion Glen Allen Mets (95-67) and the N.L. Central Champion Fleetwood Walkers (122-40) began with an excellent pitching match-up. Hiroki Kuroda took the hill for the Mets, while Justin Duchscherer did the same for the Walkers.

Fleetwood drew first blood with a run in the 1st inning, but Glen Allen responded immediately with 3 runs in the 2nd, highlighted by a solo home run from Rick Ankiel.

The Walkers tightened the score to 3-2 in the 5th inning when Nick Markakis plated Howie Kendrick with an RBI single.

In the 7th, Fleetwood tied the game 3-3 on a run-scoring Hiroki Kuroda wild pitch and then grabbed a 4-3 lead on a two-out single by Carlos Pena.

Hong-Chih Kuo relieved Justin Duchscherer (7 IP, 3 R) to begin the 8th, and pitched two scoreless innings for the save. Kendrick finished the game 3 for 3 with a double and two runs scored.

Final score: Fleetwood 4, Glen Allen 3.
W: Duchscherer (1-0). L: Kuroda (0-1). SV: Kuo (1).
HR: Ankiel (1).
Fleetwood leads series 1-0.

Game 2 - Glen Allen at Fleetwood
Jamie Moyer (11-11, 5.44 ERA) vs. Zack Greinke (24-2, 2.42 ERA)

On paper, this pitching match-up between veteran Jamie Moyer and youngster Zack Greinke appeared to be a mismatch. After all, Greinke had enjoyed a phenomenal breakout season in 2009, leading the National League in wins (24) and finishing second to Ionia's Ryan Dempster in ERA (2.42).

True to form, Fleetwood jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the 2nd inning. An RBI double by Asdrubal Cabrera and a two-run single by Nick Markakis highlighted the inning's scoring.

Meanwhile, on the mound, Greinke's magical season continued. He pitched 6 shutout innings before giving way to Fleetwood's bullpen. A 3-run homer by David Wright in the 7th inning put the game further out of Glen Allen's reach.

Final score: Fleetwood 7, Glen Allen 0.
W: Greinke (1-0). L: Moyer (0-1).
HR: Wright (1).
Fleetwood leads series 2-0.

Game 3 - Fleetwood at Glen Allen
Ervin Santana (18-9, 3.43 ERA) vs. Johnny Cueto (17-7, 4.34 ERA)

Back at home for Game 3, Glen Allen's offense fed off the crowd for four consecutive hits to lead off the game. This led to two quick runs, although Fleetwood prevented a third when left fielder Cody Ross threw out Ian Kinsler at home plate following an Andre Ethier RBI double.

Ross silenced the hometown crowd again in the 2nd inning, this time with a game-tying two-run single. A solo home run by Nick Markakis in the 3rd inning gave Fleetwood its first lead of the game at 3-2.

Both starting pitchers, Ervin Santana for Fleetwood and Johnny Cueto for Glen Allen, threw scoreless frames in the 4th and 5th innings. In the 6th, Glen Allen's David Murphy hit a one-out double and was later driven in by a Rick Ankiel single. The game was now tied 3-3.

Through seven innings, Cueto had struck out 11 batters and walked none. In the 8th, though, he hung a breaking ball to Fleetwood first baseman Carlos Pena. Pena crushed the pitch for a solo home run, putting Fleetwood ahead 4-3 with just 6 outs remaining.

Santana pitched a scoreless 8th, but Fleetwood brought in lefty Hong-Chih Kuo to pitch the 9th. With one out, Chris Snyder came to the plate. Snyder owned left-handed pitching during the regular season, hitting 18 home runs in only 144 at-bats versus southpaws (good for a .785 slugging percentage). Kuo, though, held right-handed hitters to just a .193 average and 2 home runs in 166 at-bats. Something had to give.

This time, it was Kuo who wavered. Snyder crushed a Kuo fastball deep into the left field seats, tying the game and sending the hometown crowd into a frenzy. Kuo shook off the blown save and retired the next two batters. That said, the game was now headed to extra innings.

Neither team scored in the 10th inning. In the 11th, Fleetwood's Miguel Cabrera took Glen Allen's Justin Hampson deep for a solo home run. Carlos Beltran followed with a walk and a stolen base, and scored two outs later on an Asdrubal Cabrera double. Fleetwood now led 6-4.

Down to its last 3 outs, Glen Allen's David Murphy kept hope alive with a solo home run off Fleetwood's Chad Billingsley. Billingsley retired the next two batters, which brought 9th-inning hero Chris Snyder back to the plate in another crucial spot. Snyder drew a walk this time, keeping Glen Allen's hope alive.

Alas, with the tying run on 1st base, Alexi Ramirez grounded out to Billingsley to end the game. Despite blowing a 9th inning lead, the Walkers had successfully hung on in the 11th.

Final score: Fleetwood 6, Glen Allen 5 (11 innings).
W: Billingsley (1-0). L: Hampson (0-1).
HR: Markakis (1), Pena (1), Miguel Cabrera (1), Murphy (1), Snyder (1).
Fleetwood leads series 3-0.

Game 4 - Fleetwood at Glen Allen
Daisuke Matsuzaka (16-6, 4.32 ERA) vs. Randy Wolf (13-9, 4.84 ERA)

On the verge of elimination, Glen Allen turned the ball over to veteran lefty Randy Wolf. Fleetwood did not greet Wolf kindly, though, scoring 2 runs in the first on a two-run triple by Miguel Cabrera. The Walkers scored 4 more in the 3rd inning, highlighted by an RBI double from Carlos Beltran and a two-run double by Jason Bartlett.

Glen Allen was down by six, but did not give up. In the bottom of the 3rd, the Mets scored two runs on a Yunieski Betancourt home run. Fleetwood's lead was now 6-2.

Fleetwood extended their lead back to 6 runs on a 5th inning RBI single by Nick Markakis and a 6th inning sacrifice fly by Chris Iannetta.

Glen Allen once again retaliated, scoring one run in the 6th on a Rick Ankiel single and mounting another rally in the 8th. Andre Either and Albert Pujols began the 8th inning with a single and a walk respectively, driving Fleetwood reliever Chad Billingsley from the game in favor of lefty J.P. Howell.

Howell retired pinch hitter Carlos Gomez on a failed-bunt popout to first, but then surrendered a pinch-hit single to Chris Coste. The single scored Either, and put runners on 1st and 3rd with only one out. Unfortunately for the Mets, Howell coaxed Ty Wiggington into a double-play groundout to end the threat.

With the wind seemingly out of its sails, the Mets surrendered a two-out, two-run double to Fleetwood's Nick Markakis in the 9th. This hit gave the Walkers a 10-4 lead, which is how the game -- and series -- would end.

Congratulations to Jim Clark on a great season.

Final score: Fleetwood 10, Glen Allen 4.
W: Matsuzaka (1-0). L: Wolf (0-1).
HR: Betancourt (1).
Fleetwood wins series 4 games to 0.

Series MVP: Fleetwood right fielder Nick Markakis, who went 9 for 17 (.529) with two doubles, one home run, and 7 runs batted in.

May 31, 2009: Fleetwood at Malibu

2009-05-31T21:28:00.004-05:00

The last scheduled match-up of Fleetwood and Malibu in 2009 began as a close game. Fleetwood plated a single run in the 3rd, and eventually scored 2 more runs in the 5th.

Meanwhile, the Walkers held the Flames scoreless thanks to some savvy pitching from Daisuke Matsuzaka. Through 6 shutout innings, "Dice-K" had allowed only 3 hits and 4 walks while striking out 8.

In the 7th inning, Fleetwood's offense blew the game open with 3 runs. Back-to-back doubles from Nick Markakis and David Wright to lead off the inning sparked this crucial rally.

Heath Bell threw the last 2.1 innings in relief for the Walkers, combining with Matsuzaka on a 4-hit shutout. Final score: Fleetwood 6, Malibu 0.

Daisuke Matsuzaka(5-2), with relief help from Heath Bell, contained Malibu
while the Fleetwood Walkers scored 6 runs in a day game at Petco
Park.
 
Malibu never recovered after Fleetwood took the lead in the 3rd inning scoring
a single run using 2 hits.  That scoring would be all that was needed.
Malibu was out-hit by Fleetwood, 12 hits to 4.  
 
Jeremy Sowers(3-5) was the loser.  He was hit hard and gave up 9 hits and 3
walks in 6 innings.

May 30, 2009: Fleetwood at Malibu

2009-05-31T21:27:00.017-05:00

In what would be an excellent battle between Fleetwood's Ervin Santana and Malibu's Bronson Arroyo, the Walkers drew first blood. With one out in the 2nd inning, Jim Edmonds hit a double followed by a Rafael Furcal RBI single. Fleetwood would not score again against Arroyo through 8 innings.

Santana, though, was even better. He retired the first 12 batters he faced in order, and did not allow a hit until the 6th inning. In the 7th, he allowed a lead-off single and a stolen base to Daric Barton, putting the tying run on 2nd base. After striking out Jose Lopez, Jack Cust came to the plate.

Despite Santana's strong preformance thus far, my computer manager decided to bring in lefty J.P. Howell to face Jack Cust. The move gave my team the platoon advantage, and Cust lined into a double play to end the threat.

Howell walked Nick Swisher to lead off the 8th, prompting my manager to bring in Hong-Chih Kuo. Kuo struck out the next two Malibu batters, and retired a third with a flyball out.

Clinging to a 1-0 lead, the Walkers scored a much-needed insurance run when David Wright followed a lead-off Nick Markakis double with an RBI single.

Kuo remained in the game in the 9th, and struck out the first two batters of the inning. Daric Barton brought the tying run to the plate with a 2-out walk, but Jose Lopez grounded out to end the game. The final score was 2-0, and Ervin Santana had earned a much-deserved win and Kuo a much-deserved save.

May 29, 2009: Fleetwood at Malibu

2009-05-31T21:27:00.010-05:00

Smarting from a 4-game sweep at Fleetwood, the Malibu Flames were happy to come home. They proved in right away, plating 4 runs in the 1st inning. Among the scoring were home runs from Gary Sheffield and Pedro Feliz, knocking Fleetwood's Chad Billingsley from the game before the 1st inning was over.

Fleetwood would tighten the game in the 4th and 5th innings with an RBI single from Ryan Doumit and a solo home run by Nick Markakis. With Heath Bell (2.1 innings) and Manny Corpas (3 innings) shutting out Malibu, it appeared the Walkers might pick up a comeback win.

Hong-Chih Kuo surrendered a run in the 7th, though, when David Wright committed a 2-out, 2-base error. Although Fleetwood then scored 3 runs in the 8th, Malibu answered right back with 2 runs in the bottom of the same inning.

That put the score at 7-5 in favor of the Flames, which is how the game would end. Feliz was Malibu's star on this day, ending the day 2-4 with a double, a home run, and 3 rbi.

In a two run game the Malibu Flames got by the Fleetwood Walkers by the score
of 7 to 5.
 
Malibu had the winning rally in the 8th inning with 2 runs utilizing 3 base
hits.  After an out was recorded, Jack Cust began things off when he cracked
a solo homerun (his 4th of the season).  Nick Swisher stepped up next and he
doubled.  Pedro Feliz then doubled.  Hideki Matsui got his chance to keep
things going, but he went down on strikes.  Mike Napoli stepped into the box
and was walked intentionally.  Malibu rapped out 10 hits for the night.
 
The win went to Jose Valverde(1-1) who allowed 1 run in 1 and 1/3 innings.
Hong-Chih Kuo(1-1) took the loss in relief.  He allowed Malibu 3 runs in 2
innings of work.

May 28, 2009: Malibu at Fleetwood

2009-05-31T21:26:00.006-05:00

Looking for a 4-game sweep, Fleetwood jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning. Malibu proved its grit by bouncing right back, though, with 4 runs of their own in the 2nd thanks to a grand slam by catcher Mike Napoli.

Despite this early scoring, each team's pitchers would control the game from this point onward. In fact, the two teams would combine for just 1 more run during the remainder of the game.

The Walkers were the team fortunate enough to grab that run, taking the lead when Todd Wellemeyer uncorked a wild-pitch in the 6th with runners on 2nd and 3rd. He pitched out of that jam without allowing another run, but the damage had been done.

In order to hold the lead, my team brought in lefty J.P. Howell to face Malibu's Jack Cust with one on and one out in the 8th. Howell retired Cust, and then Swisher to end the frame. The Walkers then brought in B.J. Ryan for the 9th, and he pitched a perfect frame. With the 5-4 win, Fleetwood had indeed earned the 4-game sweep.

May 27, 2009: Malibu at Fleetwood

2009-05-31T21:25:00.010-05:00

Carlos Pena and Carlos Pena hit home runs for Fleetwood during this afternoon game, but the real story belonged to Zack Greinke.

Greinke continued his strong 2009 campaign with a complete-game effort, pitching all 9 innings while allowing 8 hits and just 1 walk. Most impressively, he struck out 13 Malibu batters in the process.

With 6 strikeouts in the last 3 innings (2 each in the 7th, 8th, and 9th), one wonders if Zack could have kept going for another 9 innings. Regardless, Fleetwood found itself on the favorable side of a 7-1 final score.


BOXSCORE: 2009 Malibu Flames At 2009 Fleetwood Walkers              5/27/2009
Gm 3: Zack Greinke dominates Malibu, striking out 13 in a complete game win.

Zack Greinke racked up an impressive total of 13 strikeouts as the sizzling
Fleetwood Walkers beat the Malibu Flames by a score of 7 to 1.
 
Greinke(8-1) put on a good performance.  He gave up just 8 hits and 1 walk in
9 innings improving his ERA from 3.06 to 2.80.  Fleetwood totaled 9 hits on
the afternoon.  
 
The losing pitcher was Jesse Litsch(0-1).  Everyone seemed to enjoy the
performance of Greinke - except Malibu.  John Walters lamented, 'He just was
'on' this afternoon.  He was keeping our guys off balance all game.  A fine
game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun game for the hometown fans
- unfortunately we were the visitors!'

May 26, 2009: Malibu at Fleetwood

2009-05-31T21:25:00.009-05:00

Malibu jumped out to an early lead with 2 runs in the 1st inning, and another run in the 2nd. Things did not look good for Fleetwood...but that changed in a hurry.

The Walkers would soon score 9 unanswered runs, highlighted by a 3-run Ryan Doumit double in the 3rd and a 2-run Carlos Beltran single in the 4th.

Malibu scored a run in the 7th, but Fleetwood responded in the 8th when Jim Edmonds hit a 2-run homer. The home run was Edmonds' second of the game, and gave him 4 rbi in the contest.

Ryan Doumit also starred for the Walkers. He collected 4 hits, 3 doubles, and 4 rbi.

Final score: Malibu 5, Fleetwood 11.

BOXSCORE: 2009 Malibu Flames At 2009 Fleetwood Walkers              5/26/2009
Gm 2: Edmonds hits 2 homers and Doumit hits 3 doubles; Fleetwood wins easily.

May 25, 2009: Malibu at Fleetwood

2009-05-31T21:24:00.004-05:00

The Walkers have been tough on left-handed pitching all season, and that trend continued on this evening versus Malibu's Jeremy Sowers. Fleetwood plated 7 runs in the game's first 5 innings, highlighted by homers from Chris Iannetta and David Wright.

Entering the 6th inning, the Walkers held a comfortable 7-2 lead. With one out, though, Pedro Feliz drew a rare walk off Fleetwood's Ervin Santana. Hideki Matsui followed with a walk of his own. Santana then hung a breaking ball to the powerful Mike Napoli, who crushed it for a 3-run home run. The game was suddenly a close one at 7-5.

By the time Napoli came up again, the score remained 7-5 with one out in the 8th inning. At this point, I had my manager Rube Foster bring in lefty B.J. Ryan to face him. Ryan retired him on a fly ball, and retired Martin Prado to end the inning.

In the bottom of the 8th, Miguel Cabrera delivered a 2-run double with 2 outs to give my team some insurance runs. Ryan stayed in the game at pitcher, and retired the side in order in the 9th (including 2 strikeouts). Fleetwood had won 9-5.

Gm 1: Fleetwood's hitters pick up seven doubles on their way to a 9-5 win.

David Wright left the yard and had 2 RBI as the Fleetwood Walkers outscored
the Malibu Flames 9 to 5.

Markakis stepped into the batter's box and he stroked a single.  B.J. Ryan
pitched a perfect ninth and was credited with his 7th save.  
 
The victory was credited to Ervin Santana(7-3) who went 7 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 5 runs. The loss was charged to Jeremy Sowers(2-5).  He was knocked

May 23, 2009: Fleetwood at Brooklyn

2009-05-14T22:42:00.005-05:00

This final matchup of the year between Fleetwood and Brooklyn was pretty close through 6 innings, with the Walkers holding a slim 4-2 lead. In the 7th inning, Carlos Pena hit a 2-run double and Jim Edmonds added a sacrifice fly.

The Bulldogs picked up a run of their own in the bottom of the 7th on a Jeff Kent single, but the good news was short lived for the hometown Brooklyn fans. In the 9th inning, Fleetwood plated an amazing NINE runs. Included among this scoring was a 3-run homer by Nick Markakis, his second home run of the evening.

In the end, the score was 16-3 in favor of Fleetwood. Chad Billingsley picked up the win, while Brandon Webb was saddled with the loss.

With the victory, Fleetwood improved its 2009 season record to an impressive 35 wins against just 14 losses. Next up on the Walkers' schedule would be the Malibu Flames.

Nick Markakis slammed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI at McAfee Coliseum as the
Fleetwood Walkers belted the Brooklyn Bulldogs by the count of 16 to
3.
 
Markakis was really in 'the zone'.  He smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the
1st inning, lined a single in the 3rd inning and rifled a three-run blast
(his 4th of the season) in the 9th inning.  Fleetwood bats were very
productive in the 9th inning with 9 runs on 8 hits.  Fleetwood had 16 hits
for the night while Brooklyn had 6.  
 
The victory went to Chad Billingsley(1-1) who went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs.
Brandon Webb(4-5) was tagged with the loss.  He gave up 7 runs in 7 innings
and saw his ERA jump from 3.48 to 4.00.

May 22, 2009: Fleetwood at Brooklyn

2009-05-14T22:41:00.003-05:00

Having nearly been no-hit the night before, Fleetwood fell behind early in this game by a 2-0 score. The tide turned in the 3rd inning, though, when the Walkers picked up 3 runs to take the lead. A 2-run double by Carlos Beltran highlighted this inning's scoring.

A. J. Burnett settled down after his shaky start, pitching into the 8th inning without allowing another run. After giving up a one-out single to Aaron Miles, Fleetwood turned to lefty reliever J.P. Howell to face Austin Kearns and Aubrey Huff.

Howell came through, retiring both batters, and pitched a perfect 9th inning as well. This gave him the save, and A.J. Burnett the win.

May 21, 2009: Fleetwood at Brooklyn

2009-05-14T22:40:00.005-05:00

Fleetwood had won the first 4 games of the year against Brooklyn, but this day would belong to the Bulldogs. Ryan Church led the charge against Fleetwood's Zack Greinke, hitting a 2-run homer early and adding a 2-run single a few innings later.

More interestingly, Brooklyn starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano pitched 7 no-hit innings before exiting the game. Jon Rauch and Mariano Rivera then combined to throw a no-hit 8th inning, putting the Bulldogs just 3 outs away from a no-hitter.

Rivera came back out for the 9th inning, and the crowd was on its feet. Pinch-hitter Rafael Furcal dampened the mood, however, with a double to lead off the inning. The Walkers would pick up two more hits and a walk in the inning, scoring 2 runs against Rivera before Carlos Beltran hit into a double play to end the game.

Nevertheless, it was a most impressive pitching performance for Brooklyn in front of their hometown fans.

Carlos Zambrano went 7 strong innings as the Brooklyn Bulldogs beat the
Fleetwood Walkers by a score of 5 to 2.
 
Brooklyn promptly took the lead in their half of the first with 3 runs on 3
hits.  Emmanuel Burriss led off the inning for Brooklyn when he tripled.
Juan Uribe got his chance to keep things going, but he went down on strikes.
Garrett Atkins then banged out a single.  After another out, Ryan Church
stepped in and he popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 4th of the
season).  That scoring would be all that was needed.  Fleetwood made it
exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
 
The victory was credited to Zambrano(8-2) who went 7 innings, allowing no
runs. Zack Greinke(4-1) was the loser.  He surrendered 5 runs in 7 innings
and saw his ERA increase from 3.24 to 3.79.  
 
Despite losing Rube Foster was optimistic after the game.  'We'll get over
this one.  Sometimes the breaks fall your way, sometimes they don't.  Any one
of a dozen little things go different, and we come out on top.'

May 20, 2009: Fleetwood at Brooklyn

2009-05-14T22:27:00.005-05:00

Jim Edmonds hit a grand slam home run in the 1st inning, contributing to a 5-run inning. Brooklyn's Mark Kotsay hit a solo homer in the bottom of the same inning, but the Bulldogs would not score again.

Daisuke Matsuzaka, Fleetwood's starting pitcher, was not sharp, giving up 12 baserunners in 6 innings. He pitched out of every jam, though, and saw teammates Jose Veras (2 ip) and Heath Bell (1 ip) combine for 3 scoreless innings. Final score: Fleetwood 7, Brooklyn 1.

Jim Edmonds blasted a grand slam at McAfee Coliseum where the Fleetwood
Walkers beat the Brooklyn Bulldogs 7 to 1.
 
Edmonds was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors.  He launched a rocket-shot out of the
park for a Grand Slam homerun (his 5th of the season) in the 1st inning and
doubled in the 5th inning.  Fleetwood ended up with 10 hits for the game
while Brooklyn had 7.  
 
The win went to Daisuke Matsuzaka(5-2) who allowed 1 run in 6 innings. Andy
Sonnanstine(2-4) ended up with the loss.  He allowed 5 runs and 2 hits in 2/3
of an inning.

2009-05-14T22:21:00.004-05:00

This game was a close one until the bottom of the 6th inning. In this frame, Cody Ross hit a two-run homer, followed by a solo shot by Ryan Doumit. These back-to-back home runs extended Fleetwood's lead from 2-1 to 5-1.

In the next inning, Ross came through again. This time, he hit a 2-run triple to a 3 for 3 day at the plate including a double, a triple, and a home run. For good measure, he also picked up a 4th inning walk.

Meanwhile, Ervin Santana cruised through 8 innings. He allowed just one run before turning the ball over to Manny Corpas for the final inning. Fleetwood had won 8-1, earning a series sweep.

Ervin Santana pitched 8 strong innings as the Fleetwood Walkers defeated the
Brooklyn Bulldogs 8 to 1 at John Locke Field.
 
The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Cody Ross.  He doubled in the 2nd inning, blasted a two-run home
run (his 4th of the season) in the 6th inning and tripled scoring two
baserunners in the 7th inning.  Fleetwood had 12 hits overall, while Brooklyn
had 4.  
 
The winning pitcher was Santana(6-3) who allowed 1 run in 8 innings. Ricky
Nolasco(1-5) was given the loss.  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 11 hits
and 3 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings.

May 18, 2009: Brooklyn at Fleetwood

2009-05-14T00:28:00.006-05:00

This game featured a fine matchup of Brandon Webb for Brooklyn and Chad Billingsley for Fleetwood. Neither pitched their best baseball, but each kept their team close heading into the late innings.

Heading into the 9th inning, the Bulldogs held a 4-3 lead. When Darin Erstad added to that lead with a 2-out, 2-run homer off Fleetwood's Heath Bell, the game seemed as good as over.

The Walkers would not go quietly, though. Nick Markakis led off with a single. David Wright then struck out, but Carlos Pena brought the tying run to the plate with a single of his own. Brooklyn manager Robert Smith turned to the venerable Mariano Rivera to bail his team out.

Miguel Cabrera was Rivera's first foe, and he came through for the hometown fans with an RBI single. Learning from earlier mistakes this season, Fleetwood manager Rube Foster pinch ran for Cabrera with Jason Bartlett. When Chris Iannetta smashed a double down the left field line, the decision paid off as Bartlett scored easily from first to tie the game 6-6!

At this point, it became a battle of bullpens...and a battle of attrition. Fleetwood's Hong-Chih Kuo relieved Bell, and ended up pitching 2.2 innings of perfect baseball. For Brooklyn, Rivera pitched a perfect 10th inning before giving way to Jesus Colome. Colome picked up where Rivera left off, pitching two scoreless innings of his own.

The game moved to the 13th inning, still knotted 6-6. Fleetwood brought in righty Jose Veras, its fourth pitcher of the game. After Veras pitched a perfect inning, Brooklyn brought in its FIFTH pitcher in the form of lefty Joe Beimel. Biemel pitched a scoreless inning himself, sending the game to a 14th inning.

Veras came through again for Fleetwood's fans, striking out the side. Having fanned the last two batters the inning before, he had struck out 5 consecutive Brooklyn batters. In the bottom of the 14th frame, Biemel retired the lead-off batter before hitting Howie Kendrick -- 3 for 6 with 2 doubles on the day -- with a pitch. Rafael Furcal followed with a single, putting the winning run at second base.

Markakis came up next, but managed only a flyball out. David Wright -- 0 for 7 on the day thus far -- would bat next. He hit a hard ground ball that snuck past Brooklyn third baseman Garrett Atkins. Kendrick motored around third base, and scored the winning run. Fleetwood had won 7-6 in 14 hard-fought innings, sending the remaining hometown fans home happy if tired.

May 17, 2009: Brooklyn at Fleetwood

2009-05-13T22:32:00.010-05:00

This interesting game had some back-and-forth scoring in the early going. Both pitchers racked up the strikeouts, but also the runs allowed. Heading into the bottom of the 5th, Brooklyn held a tenuous 4-3 lead over Fleetwood.

In the 4th inning, the Walkers plated 4 runs off Brooklyn pitcher Javier Vazquez. A double by Carlos Pena was key, as was a two-out Carlos Beltran single that plated the inning's final run and gave Fleetwood a 7-4 lead.

A.J. Burnett settled down until allowing back-to-back doubles to lead off the 8th inning. With the game now in the balance, my team called on lefty J.P. Howell to put out the fire. Howell did a fantastic job, striking out Ryan Church and Yadier Molina for the inning's first two outs. He then retired Darin Erstad on a flyout, ending the threat.

When B.J. Ryan came in and pitched a scoreless 9th for Fleetwood, the game was over. The Walkers had won by a 7-5 final score.

May 15, 2009: Fleetwood at Santa Barbara

2009-05-13T01:02:00.003-05:00

Miguel Cabrera, owner of a grand slam home run the night before, topped himself in a big way in this last game of the season against Santa Barbara.

First, he smashed a 3-run homer in the 3rd inning. He then hit another 3-run shot in the 7th. Not content with only 6 runs batted in, Cabrera added a 7th with an RBI single in the 9th.

Meanwhile, Fleetwood starting pitcher Zack Greinke continued his early season pitching mastery with 7 shutout innings. Manny Corpas pitched two scoreless innings himself in his season debut, and Fleetwood's pitching staff had earned its second shutout of the season in a 8-0 win.

Miguel Cabrera cracked 2 homeruns and had 7 RBI as the Fleetwood Walkers
outscored the Santa Barbara Outlaws 8 to 0.
 
Cabrera provided much of the offense.  He smacked a three-run homer in the 3rd
inning, clubbed a three-run home run (his 9th of the season) in the 7th
inning and ripped a base-knock which scored a run in the 9th inning.
Fleetwood finished with 13 hits while Santa Barbara ended up with 8.  
 
The victory went to Zack Greinke(6-1) who went 7 innings, allowing no runs.
Kevin Slowey(5-2) took the loss.  'It's almost like the ball was trying to
hit my bat,' Cabrera said. 'Whenever I would swing, the ball found the sweet
spot.'

May 14, 2009: Fleetwood at Santa Barbara

2009-05-13T01:01:00.011-05:00

Santa Barbara grabbed a quick 1-0 lead in the 1st inning, spearheaded by a lead-off triple by Akinori Iwamura. Fleetwood answered back in a big way, however.

In the 2nd inning, Carlos Beltran hit a 2-run homer. One inning later, Miguel Cabrera topped that by hitting a grand slam. The Walkers now led 6-1, which is how the score would remain until the bottom of the 9th inning.

In their last at-bat, the Outlaw bats woke up from their 7-inning slumber. Following a lead-off single by A.J. Pierzynski and a walk by Blake Dewitt, Jason Kendall surprised everyone with a sacrifice bunt. The bunt worked in advancing runners to 2nd and 3rd base, but it gave Fleetwood a much-needed first out.

Iwamura kept the rally alive with a single, plating two runs and driving Fleetwood's Heath Bell from the game. In for the Walkers came lefty Hong-Chih Kuo, who successfully coaxed Macier Izturis into a groundball forceout. He then struck out Chris Duncan to end the game, earning him a save and Fleetwood a 6-3 victory.

Miguel Cabrera ripped a bases loaded blast as the Fleetwood Walkers topped the
Santa Barbara Outlaws by a score of 6 to 3 at Dodger Stadium.

inning and cleared the bases with a Grand Slam homerun (his 7th of the
season) in the 3rd inning.  Both teams ended up with 8 hits on the night.
 
Daisuke Matsuzaka(7-2) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 7 innings.
Hong-Chih Kuo got the save, his 2nd.  Jered Weaver*(1-5) was given the loss.
Fleetwood scored big getting 6 runs off him in 3 innings.

May 13, 2009: Fleetwood at Santa Barbara

2009-05-13T01:00:00.003-05:00

There's not much to say in this one. Adrian Gonzalez continued his sparkling play against the Walkers, clubbing a 3-run homer in the 3rd inning. After that, Santa Barbara never looked back.

Fleetwood mounted some small threats in the late innings, but Jared Burton pitched his way out of each to earn a rare 4-inning save. Lefty John Lannan earned the win, while Ervin Santana was saddled with the loss.

May 12, 2009: Santa Barbara at Fleetwood

2009-05-13T00:14:00.006-05:00

Another great game began as a duel between Santa Barbara's Matt Garza and Fleetwood's Chad Billingsley. Both pitchers were strong through 4 innings, but began to show fatigue soon after.

First, Fleetwood grabbed a 3-1 lead with three runs in the 5th inning. Key moments in this rally were an error by Santa Barbara third baseman Carlos Guillen, an RBI triple by Howie Kendrick, and an RBI single by Rafael Furcal.

The Outlaws bounced right back against Billingsley in the 6th, though. Carlos Lee led off with a walk, followed by singles from Torii Hunter and Akinori Iwamura. Fleetwood brought in Hong-Chih Kuo to face Chris Duncan, but Santa Barbara countered with pinch-hitter Dmitri Young. Kuo struck out Young, but A.J. Pierzynski picked up his teammate with an RBI double. The game was now tied 3-3.

In the bottom of the same inning, Fleetwood responded with 4 runs of their own. Miguel Cabrera and Carlos Beltran led off the inning with back-to-back doubles. Chris Iannetta followed, and sent a long flyball deep into the brisk May air. This 2-run homer extended Fleetwood's lead to 6-3. Nick Markakis added an RBI double later in the same inning to make it a 7-3 game.

The Walkers turned to lefty B.J. Ryan in the 8th. Ryan retired Carlos Lee on a deep flyball, but quickly saw the bases become loaded with hits from Hunter and Iwamura plus a walk from Jayson Werth.

Fleetwood manager Rube Foster turned to J.P. Howell in an attempt to escape this jam, but A.J. Pierzynski continued to bedevil the Walkers with a 2-run double. Fleetwood's lead was now just 7-5, but Howell retired Derek Jeter to end the threat.

Howell remained in the game in the 9th, and retired the Outlaws in order. He had earned the save, and the game was over. In a tight series, each team had won two games apiece.


BOXSCORE: 2009 Santa Barbara Outlaws At 2009 Fleetwood Walkers      5/12/2009
Gm 4: Chris Iannetta's 2-run HR in the 6th proves to be the difference.
