SIM #2
HIGHLIGHTS
FULL
HOUSE
Jersey's Ron Verity had a lot of 5's and 2's against Georgia, but it wasn't enough to lead his team to victory, falling 9-6 at home. Verity went 5 for 5 with 2 RBI's, 2 RS a 2B and a HR.

NOTE:
Havana's Frank Lewis was the games choice for Player of the Day, but it combined his stats from the double header Havana played. So, I disqualified him. Moving on.....

HOT AND
STICKY
Maple Marauders had themselves the SIM of the season, going 6-0, which gets them back into the hunt of the Billy Martin Division, which according to the pundits will be a close battle for the final two playoff spots.

POOR-TLAND
Portland sees a games slip through their fingers, against South Carolina. They blow the save in the 9th at home, then give up 2 in the 12th and lose 5-3, and the series as well.

MANHATTAN
BEACH FIRES A CANNON
John Cannon gets no love from the player of the day committee, but does go out and throw 7 shutout innings vs Seattle getting the win in a 6-0 game.

AS GOOD
AS GOULD
Father time continues to be beaten back by Maurice Gould as he leads Montreal to a 9-1 win against division rival, and playoff hopeful Brooklyn Mafia. Gould goes 8.1 IP, 3 Hits, 1 run...earned, 3 BB's and 9K's....all at 40 years old!
In his 2nd start this SIM, he pitches a 9 against SoCal, taking them into extras. Gould goes 9, 8 H, 2 runs - earned, 1 BB and 7 more K's. Closer Manny Palma gives up a walk off HR Jong-min Kim in the 10th.

And I'm not
even going to talk about Gould's first start of the season against
Havana. Lets just say that was his shortest outing of the year - going
JUST 8 and a third IP....while STILL being 40.
Gould is a free agent at season's end....how much DOES he get paid???
HAVANA DOUBLE DIPS
Havana takes two from Washington 12-7 in the first game, then 7-3 in the night cap.

HAIL
CESAR
Eureka's Cesar Soto grabs Player of the Day kudo's (4/14) but it wasn't enough to get a win versus Jacksonville, as they go down 12-10. Soto rips the cover off the ball going 4 for 5, a double, HR, 5 RBI's and 3 RS.

Jacksonville
padded their lead in the 9th with a 3 spot, but gave that back in the bottom
half and held on for the win.
HOUSTON SETS OFF A ROCKET
I can have a lot of run with "Houston" and "Apollo" in headlines, but I digress. Houston scores 5 in the 8th, 1 in the 9th, and holds on to win 10-8 vs Oakland. Some pretty exciting ball being played in Texas.

MINNESOTA
- NEW YORK
Big back and forth game where Minny tied the game up 3 different times, before taking their only lead of the game in the bottom of the 10th. And when you take a lead in the bottom half of extra innings, that means you got a tick in the W column. Yes-sir-ree-Bob it does!

BOOTS
ARE MADE FOR WALKING
I like seeing walk-offs and I'll just list them at the bottom. If they get mentioned again it's because something caught my eye.

Maple pours all over the Storm Chasers winning the game 17-5. Hunt goes 6 for 6 with 3 HR's and 6 RBI's. Add in 5 RS and he's had himself a week!

OFFENSES ARE ROLLING...
I'm seeing a lot of double digit run scoring in games. On the 15th alone, 4 teams hit this (Quebec 13, Jacksonville 12, Maple 17 and Seattle 11). Of note, 3 of these teams are in the supposedly better pitching Thurman Munson League.
DROUGHTS?
On the other hand, teams that scored less than 2 runs are just as prevelant. Also on the 15th you have 6 teams fail to show up offensively. (Las Vegas 2, Brooklyn 0, New York 1, Chicago 0, Jersey 2, Kansas City 2).

"DAR" SHE BLOWS
Mehmood Dar, a clunker in Maple goes to Cabo and hurls a gem, a 4 Hit Shutout with 6 K's in the 3-0 Kansas City win on the 19th.

MAQ-BOOL, MAQ-BOOL, MAQ-BOOL
I was just trying to see how that looked and sounded when fans chant it. I'm not thrilled with it - he needs a nickname! However the Manhattan Beach Patriot fans were as Bhasin goes yard 3 times, in 4 AB's with 5 RBO and 3 RS to garner POTD Award. Manhattan Beach beat Minnesota 7-6. Balls are flying out as the air is thin so far this season.

PORTLAND
IS STINGY
Portland took advantage of their host, Georgia, by taking both ends of a twin bill, 5-0 in the first game, and then 7-1 in the second, meaning that Georgia managed to score just 1 run on this day....even if it was in 18 innings. Tanner Johnson got the complete game, 4 hit shutout in the 1st game.

ALMOST
THERE
Havana's Joe Hardy, goes 8 innings giving up JUST a 7th inning double to James Rice with 2 outs. Hardy went on to pitch the 8th before handing the ball off to Kharoti for the save and the 3-0 win. Hardy threw 109 pitches and there was speculation that he would be pulled even if he had the no hitter going to the 9th.

JUST FOR
RON
Mile High had the #2 and #3 POTD and both were against their arch rival, long time nemesis and otherwise just a regular thorn in their hide. Mile High wins 11-7 with the help of Burbidge going 2 for 3 with 2 HR, 5 RBI and Sahni going 4 for 4 with 2 HR and 3 RBI's.

"BABA".
The player
of the day on the 19th goes 3 for 3 with a 2B and 2 HR's, 4 RBI's in the 4-2
win for Quebec over Portland.
STORMING
BACK
After Mile High scores 5 in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, Oakland comes back, putting up a 6 spot in the 11th at Mile High to win 11-5.

JERSEY
"SHORT"
Jersey
holds on against Houston in this weather shortened, 6 inning game, winning
5-4. There was no guarantee that Jersey would have won as Houston scores
2 in the top of the 6th, but it wasn't enough.
