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.

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 …
Peoria got single runs in the 1st and 6th and made it stand up for a 2-1 win over Surprise. Four Nationals appeared in the game: Drew Millas caught and batted sixth, going 1-for-4 with a strikeout. He was unsuccessfully defending two base thefts. Yasel Antuna (pictured above) was the No. 8 hitter but was …
The Javelinas reverted to the mean and dropped their eighth game over the last 10 by a score of 3-0.
Tim Cate (pictured above) actually made it out of the 1st… and finished both the 2nd and the 3rd innings. He gave up a run on three hits, no walks, and struck out two. The 25-y.o. Connecticut native threw 36 pitches, 24 for strikes.
Will Frizzell (guy with bat) was the designated hitter for Peoria but went 0-for-3 with a strikeout to lower his Fall BA to .286 (4-for-14) in his fourth game.
The Javelinas return home to Peoria tomorrow afternoon to host the Surprise Saguaros.

Drew Millas (pictured above) doubled with one in the bottom 9th for his third hit and second RBI but got no farther than third base as the Javelinas dropped their fifth straight game, 4-3. Millas also had a safety in the 1st and an RBI single in the 5th to go 3-for-5 on the afternoon, …
