BLB News: Trade Deadline: Today is the last day in Brewers League Baseball where trading is allowed. Past this date, players can only be traded if they have cleared waivers. Normal trades are allowed again once the playoffs are over and the offseason begins.
Hit Parade: Leger Pops 5 Hits: The Wildcats tripped up the Kodiaks 8-1 today, led by Joey Leger, their 25-year-old right fielder. He tagged California pitching for 5 hits, making life miserable for them the entire game. Joey Leger singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run double in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
This season Leger is hitting .283 with 75 hits, 5 home runs, 31 RBIs, scored 35 runs and played in 76 games.
Brown Struts Stuff in California Win: In an outstanding mound performance Wade Brown fired a complete-game shutout against the Kodiaks. He tossed a 2-hitter for Wilmington to beat California 5-0 at Wildcats Ballpark.
To date Brown is 7-8 in 19 starts with a 5.28 ERA and has 104 strikeouts in 109 innings.
Martin Too Tough, Blanks Batavia: The Muckdogs were no match for Troy Martin of the Washington Bats. He totally shut down Batavia at The Capitol. In the 4-0 win, Martin tossed a 3-hitter, struck out 7, and walked 0.
Thus far this season, Martin has worked 106 innings with 74 strikeouts en route to a 8-6 record and a 2.72 ERA.
Scorpions Players Unhappy with Field Quality: According to a local beat reporter's unnamed source, multiple Death Valley players have approached management to voice concerns about the condition of the Import League Stout Division team's playing field.
The players met together in a private meeting before team batting practice and appointed an unnamed player to meet with owner, David Miranda Jr., and manager, Steve Boyd, to air complaints about the field's upkeep.
Apparently, the meeting's result was not satisfactory to the players and it is questionable if it will hurt the first place team's morale.
The Carolina Tobs Win Again, Making it 10 Straight!: The Tobs have simply been on fire lately racking up 10 wins in a row. Few fans across Brewers League Baseball will have their team come close to winning so many games in a row this year and Carolina Manager, Innis Merriam, urged fans not to take it for granted. "These guys are playing their butts off," said Merriam. "I don't know how long it will last but I hope our fans are enjoying it. We sure are!"
Injury Update for Windy City, Holly: Jamie Holly could soon be placed on the disabled list. The Windy City starting pitcher told reporters that he expects to be "out of commission" for 4 months because of a fractured elbow. He hasn't played since 08/02/2012 and, he said, he's "itchin' to get back out there."
This year Holly has compiled a 3-11 record with a 3.68 ERA.
Booth Tosses Shutout Against Muckdogs: Wilmington's DeAndre Booth dazzled the Lawrence Stadium crowd with a fine display of pitching. From the start, Booth dominated the Batavia lineup en route to a sparkling 3-0 shutout. He finished with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks.
