No Offense = No Win
Aug 16 2008, 3:48 AM EDT
If you hadn’t noticed, the Hillcats are on another little losing streak; four games. It’s not that bad, but if it lasts any longer, the playoffs will be out of the question. We really need to split with W-S, take five from the Keys, sweep Salem, and win two with Potomac. So, in other words, don’t put a deposit on tickets in September. But one should never lose faith in something, because it is all you really ever have. Word. So, like last night, Winston-Salem was the first to score a run tonight. John Shelby singled and came home on an Estee Harris RBI double. They added two more in the fourth when Harris doubled, Salvador Sanchez singled and stole second, and Harris scored when Brett Bonvechio grounded out. Sanchez, however, would score on a Sergio Miranda RBI single to center. The Hogs would turn the three into a four in the eighth inning as Shelby tripled and scored on a Bonvechio single. It was all but over when it came down to the bottom of the ninth, but Miles Durham had other thoughts as he blasted his third homer in a Cats uniform over the left field wall. Unfortunately though, the next two guys in the lineup would strike out swinging. It was another game where the offense couldn’t support the pitching and a good outing by Brad Lincoln was wasted. But hopefully the offense will get a boost in the near future as 2008 first round draft pick Pedro Alvarez signed right before the midnight deadline tonight. He is an offensive powerhouse and would fit great at third base. It would be great to see him here before years end.Stat of the Night: The first three Cats in the lineup (Jose De Los Santos, Brian Friday, and Kent Sakamoto) went a combined 0 for 12 tonight with two strikeouts. Yikes! Do you find this valuable?
