4/9/2008 Sergada Round-up
Hermits Sweep Saints, Win by 3-2 Score
Far City defeated Silver Cove today 3-2, finishing off the 2-game sweep and taking a early lead in the battle of Espul Island. Silver Cove had their chances today, most noticeable being runners on 1st and 3rd with one out and bases loaded with 2 out, both in the bottom of the ninth. The Hermits did not leave Silver Cove unharmed, as backup infielder Scott Boyd pinch hit in the 8th but ended up leaving injured after sliding into 2nd base on a fielder's choice. Silver Cove will stay home and start a 4-game set against Port Height tomorrow, while Far City has a day off before opening their stadium against the visiting Lumber Kings.
Axton Beats Channel City 6-2, Even Series 1-1
The Jeremy Burns / Pepe Chapa tandem proved to be too much for the Scientists and Axton walked away with a series-tying 6-2 victory. Burns lasted 6 1/3 innings while giving up 2 runs, 4 hits and 4 walks. Chapa relieved Burns and never came out of the game, eating the remaining 2 2/3 innings perfectly. Duane Wilkinson recorded his first home run today, and the Axton right-fielder is still expected by most IBA experts to hit in the range of 50 dingers through the course of the season.
