The National League went to town on the American League with six runs in the bottom of the 5th as they won the coveted (well, no, not really) Fall Stars Game, 9-3. Both Nationals named to the roster appeared in the game. ● Drew Millas (who else?) was the N.L. starting catcher. He singled with …
The Javelinas broke out for six runs in the 5th to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 7-2 lead as they cruised to a 14-7 win over the Solar Sox. Three Nationals appeared in the game (no, you do not get credit for guessing Millas): Drew Millas returned to the lineup as the cleanup batter …
An early 2-0 lead evaporated in the chilly fall air in Peoria as the Scorpions scored in five straight “ups” to take this one, 11-3. Yasel Antuna (pictured above) got the start in left field and went 1-for-4 with a strikeout to push his Fall line to .235/.357/.324 in 11 games. He fielded a single …
A five-run 5th, highlighted by a two-run single by Yasel Antuna, broke open a 2-1 game as the Javelinas sunk the Rafters, 5-1 yesterday in the Arizona Fall League. Three Nationals saw game action: Yasel Antuna (pictured, right) batted sixth and played LF. He also singled in the 4th to finish 2-for-4 and push his …
Just two Nationals were in the starting lineup:
Peoria (11-12) returns home this afternoon to host Salt River (11-13).
Just two of the six Javelinas escaped damage in a 15-4 defenestration by the Rafters. Alas, Tim Cate (pictured above) was not one of them. In fact, he bore the brunt of the assault. The 25-y.o. southpaw gave up seven runs on ten hits (no HR!) and two walks over three innings to lose for …
A pair of home runs in the bottom of the 2nd put Peoria up 3-0 as they rose above the .500 mark with a 5-1 win in seven innings. Drew Millas, under the watchful eye of coach Tim Doherty, returned behind the plate but was 0-for-3 at the plate and 0-for-3 in throwing out basestealers. …
It’s probably a good thing Lee skipped this one. Had he sent me a pic of paint drying, I might have been puzzled… until I saw the box score for the Javelinas’ 3-1 win over the Scorpions. All four runs scored without a base hit; three on sacrifice flies. The two teams combined for nine …
Peoria and Glendale changed leads six times in the first seven innings but neither team could push across the go-ahead run over the last seven turns at bat to finish with a 5-5 tie in 10 innings.
Drew Millas (pictured above) was the sole National to appear in the game. He was the Javelinas’ designated hitter and went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two strikeouts. The two hits improved his Fall line to .343/.368/.629 in nine games.
Peoria (9-10) travels to Scottsdale (9-10) for a game tonight.
It’s an off day for the Javelinas today and a road game tomorrow so they won’t play in Peoria until Friday and Saturday. Lee provided me with photos to fill the gaps, and, like my mother’s cookies and pies, you don’t say no to that. That’s coach Micah Franklin reminding us of Roy Campanella (“You …
