In the 7th, Tsunamis get a 2-out single by Phillips to score a run and Phillips is caught stealing to end the inning. Bees would put runners in scoring position in the first 5 innings, but not able to score as Tsunamis win 2-0.

Game 2; Bumgarner vs Zimmermann; Bees score 1 run in the 1st. Tsunamis get a leadoff HR by Ryan Zimmerman in the 1st and Gutierrez hits a 2-run HR in the same inning. In the 2nd, Ramos hits a solo HR for the Tsunamis.

Tsunamis get 5 straight walks off of 3 different Bees pitchers to lead off the 8th inning. With 1 out Valencia (#9 batter) hits a Grand Slam. Bees would get 1 unearned run in the 9th as Tsunamis win 10-6.

Game 3; Arrieta vs Kershaw; Kershaw pitches 4 perfect innings before giving up a leadoff single to Braun. Gonzalez gets a single with Braun running and is sac flied in by Beltre. Arrieta goes 5 1/3 perfect innings before giving up a hit to Gordon, who would score on a 2-out double by Cabrera in the 6th to tie the game. Arrieta gives up a leadoff HR to Davis in the 8th. Both pitchers would stay in for complete games as Tsunamis win 2-1 and a 3 game sweep.

Shartlesville Browns vs. Asian Tsunamis

Leave a comment

The Tsunamis made their way to Shartlesville for the middle series of their marathon Saturday line up.

Game 1: Gallardo v Nola. The Tsunamis opened the series scoring in the 3rd by pushing 2 across against Gallardo courtesy of a Davis lead off walk followed by a Kang double. Kang came around to score on a Bogaerts single. Batting 3rd in place of suspended Bruce Hairpin, Kyle Seager homered to lead off the 4th against his old club to cut the lead to 2-1. The Sharts manufactured a run in the 5th to tie the score and it stayed that way all the way to the bottom of the 12th when Billy Burns delivered a 2-out, 2-run double to make it 4-2. Caesar Ramos worked a 1-2-3 bottom half to get the save and make a winner of Hunter Strickland.

Game 2 saw more of Seager trying to prove the Asians should never have let him go. He smacked a 2-run homer in the 1st off Jordan Zimmermann, who was the fruit of that trade for the Tsunamis. That staked Kershaw to a 2-0 lead. The Tsunamis scratched a run back on back-to-back doubles from Cabrera and Bautista in the bottom of the 2nd, but the Browns took over in the 4th. Perez doubled with two outs followed by a Herrera walk and a Segura RBI single setting the stage for Jarrod Dyson. He reached the seats for a 3-run homer and a 6-1 Browns lead. Kershaw got by a Grandal solo homer in the 8th to notch his 3rd CG of the year and improve to 3-3.

Game 3 and once again the Tsunamis scored first as Joey Bats drove Grichuk in after he doubled in the 3rd off Strasburg. They added another run in the 3rd to lead 2-0 before the Sharts bats got busy in the 4th off Cueto. It started again with a Seager leadoff HR followed quickly by a Morales dinger. A Phillips single and Caleb Joseph double chased Cueto after just 3 innings pitched and with no outs in the 4th. The Browns pushed 2 more runs across in the inning to lead 4-2. Two more solo homers from Morales in the 5th and 8th allowed the Browns to withstand single runs from the Tsnumais in the 6th and 7th off Strasburg, who still ended up with the win. Strasburg hit Kang in the 3rd, 5th and 7th but none of them were intentional. Tony Watson closed things out for his 2nd save.

Game 4 was a classic getaway day affair, played at a very brisk pace. It was scoreless after 5 full innings before the Asians got all the runs they would need on a Gutierrez 2-run job off Wacha. Adam Warren allowed an unearned run in the bottom of the 5th, but the Tsunamis pen locked things down and only allowed a hit in 3.2 IP of relief to make Warren a winner. Rondon got the last 4 outs to earn the save and pull the Tsunamis back to .500 (12-12) before they headed off to face the Eliminators. The Browns fell to 10-14.

Notes: The Browns hit .219 for the series but plated 10 runs on 7 homers. Seager hit .313 out of the #3 hole usually held by Harper and pushed his season stats to .281-8-12 in 23 games. Next up for the Browns is the Lemonheads on Thursday.

Asian Tsunamis vs. Arrogant Bastards

Leave a comment

Game 1
Hamels v Warren…AT would open the scoring in the 3rd on a Grandal solo HR & Raburn 2 run HR to get enough runs for Warren who would go on for a CG win.  Panik hit a solo HR in the 6th (Ginger Jesus had one turned back later that inning) for the AB’s only run.  Cabrera hit a solo HR in the 7th.  Brach came on in the bottom of the 8th to get worked over for a 4 spot….2 run HR by Valencia and then back to back jacks by Espinosa and Ramos.  Final score 8-1 as the AB’s manage just their first run in 21 innnings.
Game 2
Scherzer v Cueto.  Cueto woul again go the distance as the AB’s up their scoring prowess to 1 run in 30 innings of play as they drop this game 3-0.  Joey Bats clubs a 2 run jack in the 2nd and Valencia adds a solo in the 5th to complete the scoring.  Both teams finish the first 2 games a combined 1 for 25 with RISP.  So clutch.
Game 3
Miller v Nola.  Trout ends the draught w/ a lead off HR to start the bottom of the 1st for the AB’s.  TS bounces back in the 3rd w/ successive RBI singles by Cabrera, Bogaerts, and Hundley to push their lead to 3-1.  The AB’s answer in the 4th w/ a pair of solo HR’s from Big Papi and Forsythe.  The game would remain 3-3 until the bottom of the 9th when Martin reached on a 2 out error, was replaced by Swihart, who scored on H&R double by Forsythe for the walk off win.  Thornton picked up the win (His FOURTH of the season!) while Hendricks took the loss.
Game 4
Salazar v Zimmerman.  The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 5th when the AB’s put together a crooked number.  Papi doubled, Forsythe singled him in, Gardner got a H&R single, stole 2nd, Russell grounded into an E6 scoring Andrus who ran for Forsythe and then Trout hit a Sac Fly to LF plating Gardner.  Cabrera hit a solo HR in the 6th and then drove in Espinosa (pinch running for a plucked Duda) to cut the lead to 3-2.  Thornton came on in the 9th to get the last out and pick up a save and a series split for the AB’s.

Game Notes
Not much to say AB’s went 4 for 26 w/ RISP while the AT’s went 4 for 25.  AT’s did manage 9 HR’s but 6 came in game 1.
AB’s upped their team average for the year from .196 all the way up to .197
With the Stars and Bees left to play the AB’s are currently at 16-12 and will probably try to play a series next week – right now Wednesday looks like the best day but we shall see.
