MONDAY'S RESULTS

Savannah over Lexington 10-9 in 12 innings
The fact that Lexington came back and tied this one up was quite a feat considering starting pitcher Kyle Hallock gave up five home runs in only 3.1 innings pitched. Carlos Quevedo and Jason Chowning each pitched very well (each pitching three innings of relief) and allowed the Legends some breathing room to catch up. Jason Chowning, in particular, dominated in a longer role than his normal one to two innings -- he has yet to give up an earned run this season.  After getting some good swings in on Saturday with little to show for it, Kvasnicka broke through in a big way on Monday with a 3x6 game, including a three-run home run.  Several players had good days at the plate (Matt Duffy has hit home runs in his last three games) and Delino DeShields was a terror on the basepaths with three stolen bags, but Lexington couldn't capitalize on a couple of late opportunities, and a wild pitch by Dayan Diaz allowed Savannah to score the winning run in the 12th inning.

Frisco over Corpus 9-4
Erick Abreu (L, 2-1) struggled, giving up three home runs in his four innings pitched. And the bullpen (in the guise of Alex Sogard, Josh Zeid and Jason Stoffel) couldn't shut Frisco down either. Corpus was limited to three hits and one walk, with one of the hits being a three-run homer from Kody Hinze.  T.J. Steele was 0-4 with two strikeouts and is hitting .149. Overall, not a day to remember so let's not.

Albuquerque over Oklahoma City 5-0
Brett Oberholtzer (L, 0-1) pitched very well through his first five innings, but started to struggle in the sixth.  Adalberto Flores and Juan Abreu finished things off.  Fernando Martinez, Scott Moore and Justin Ruggiano all hit doubles, but J.B. Shuck was the only player to get multiple hits with his two singles.  The team was 0-10 with runners in scoring position. Another forgettable game to put behind us.

Lancaster - Off Day

GAME OF THE DAY
None today. Partly because none of our boys won, but mostly because my flight got delayed and I didn't get home until almost one in the morning.

PITCHER OF THE DAY
Jason Chowning's outing on Monday proved to me that he has nothing left to prove at Lexington.  After his great season last year and his great start this year, it's past the time for a promotion.

PLAYER OF THE DAY
I have to go with Mike Kvasnicka.  He really needed a breakthrough day at the plate and he definitely got that!
