Akron RubberDucks(Cleveland)61-42 @ Erie Sea Wolves(Detroit)49-53

 

The Ducks jumped out to a 2-0 lead, after three innings.

The Wolves slowly got things going enough to lock things up at two, after eight.

At this point Akron had just four hit,while Erie had total 7. Pitching turned in bigtime pitches many of times in this one, as neither offense was really able to string together much at all.

 

In the top of ninth, Bobby Bradley blasted a solo bomb(22) to give Akron, what turned out to be the winning run. Bradley strikes out a lot, but like Dave Kingman,he can hit the ball a long ways when he makes contact.

The homer was the 2nd on the night for the Ducks. Joe Sever(7)blasted a two run shot of his own in the third.

Game 112

(Prospects league/college wood bat league)

I drove to watch this one

Kokomo Jackrabbits (31-20) @ Butler Blue Sox(21-32)

 

This was my 2nd time in Butler,Pa and my first time ever seeing a game there,

This was a 1-0 game after five, with Butler winning. How I was not sure. Butler starter Tre Thomas went five innings allowing three hits and walked seven batters and his defense was shaky at best behind him, but somehow the home team still led 1-0.

 

Kokomo, then went wild with six runs in the in the sixth and then added four in the eighth and three in the ninth. Butler would would tally single runs in the seventh and eighth,for a 13-3 final score.

The Clippers had 16 hits,6 extra base hits including 2 home runs.

They, the Clippers won 14-8 and once again the pitching staff,well the bull pen was horrendous.(12 hits, 7 earned runs and 3 walks)
