May 31, 2009: Fleetwood at Malibu

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.

May 30, 2009: Fleetwood at Malibu

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
