The Broncos did indeed manage to salvage a split of the four game series with Memphis, but continued with their sluggish play. Perhaps the wear of a long season is getting to them. Perhaps the heat of summer is tiring them. Whatever it is, the last two weeks have definitely been mediocre for Denver. Meanwhile, the Broncos' rival, Tucson, has been playing very well lately, and have crept to within 5 games of Denver. With over a month still to play, 5 games isn't looking all that safe...
Russell Thomas had a fine week, going 10 for 27, with a double, a homerun, 8 runs scored, and 3 stolen bases.
Asbel Fuentez was also a productive table setter, going 9 for 24, with 2 doubles, a homerun, 8 RBI, 7 runs scored, 5 walks, and 3 stolen bases. While Thomas and Fuentez set them up,
Ellis Bolling knocked 'em down. Bolling was 9 for 29, with 3 doubles, 5 homeruns, and 9 RBI. As well, the 33 year old Bolling now sits at 499 career homeruns, one away from 500.
