James Donten has been been photographing High-A Sarasota Reds’ games for the last two seasons, and finally put together a website for his work. You can check out his gallery of Tampa Yanks’ players here.
AzFL Peoria had a scheduled off day.
HWB Waikiki (5-1 win over West Oahu) Waikiki wins the HWB Championship, the first in franchise history, including the league’s first go-around (’93-’97) … the title game was rained out last year and North Shore was given the title by default, so at least this year they actually got the game in
Damon Sublett: 0 for 4
Saturday’s Games
AzFL Peoria (10-8 loss to Surprise)
Kevin Russo: 0 for 5 – hit streak comes to an end at 20 games … well done sir
Austin Jackson: 1 for 5, 1 R, 3 RBI, 2 K – 12 for his last 26 (.462) with 4 doubles & 6 RBI
Kevin Whelan: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB – 17 of 27 pitches were strikes (63%) … first bad outing in the fall league, his ERa shot up from 0.63 to 2.35
HWB Waikiki (5-4 wn over Honolulu) Waikiki won the HWB East Division on the final day of season when Cubs’ prospect Marquez Smith mashed a pinch hit two-run homer with two outs in the ninth off Phils’ stud Kyle Drabek (Doug’s son) to give the Beach Boys the lead
Damon Sublett: 1 for 1, 1 RBI – delivered a pinch hit RBI single in the 5th
Austin Romine: 0 for 2
Friday’s Games
AzFL Peoria (8-6 win over Surprise)
Juan Miranda: 0 for 4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K – just 6 for his last 42 (.143)
Phil Hughes: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 3-6 GB/FB – 52 of 80 pitches were strikes (65%) … MLB.com had a nice little write-up on the outing … he lines up to start the Javelinas’ final game of the season this Thursday, and assuming he throws the AzFL max of 5 innings, he’ll finish the year with 107.2 IP
HWB Waikiki (4-1 loss to Honolulu)
Damon Sublett: 0 for 4
Jeremy Bleich: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 5-6 GB/FB – 48 of 85 pitches were strikes (56.5%) … one of the walks was intentional, but even so he allowed just 4 walks in his last 29.2 IP … finished the season with a .216 batting avg against & 31 K in 30.2 IP … next stop, High-A Tampa
Thursday’s Games
AzFL Peoria (9-6 win over the other Peoria)
Kevin Russo: 1 for 3, 1 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
Austin Jackson: 0 for 4, 3 K – ouch
Humberto Sanchez: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 3-2 GB/FB – 18 of 31 pitches were strikes (58.1%)
HWB Waikiki‘s game with North Shore was cancelled due to “other.” Don’t ask me.
