AFL Update: Nov. 17, 2016

img_0067Glendale scored in each of the first four innings en route to a 10-0 shutout of Mesa. Combined with a loss by the Saguaros, the Desert Dogs remain alive in the hunt for the AFL West title.

All three Nats position players saw game action again:

  • Andrew Stevenson led off and played left field, reaching base three times with two walks and a single, and scoring three runs. He also stole two bases.
  • Drew Ward (pictured) got the start at first base and drove in two, going 1-for-5 with a walk and two RBI.
  • Osvaldo Abreu handled shortstop on defense and singled and doubled in a 2-for-5 effort that pushed his fall average to .267.

The AFL regular season concludes today. Glendale must win and Surprise must lose for the Desert Dogs to play in Saturday’s AFL Title game.

  1. Wonder if Stevenson’s surge would lead to the Nat’s consider offering Robles as part of the package to for Chris Sale. Sale is under contract for the next 3 years for what the Nats just committed to Gio. Acquiring Sale would raise the Nats to a level on par with the Cubs, but for any team to get him, they are going to have to offer talent to the point where it hurts.
