Bonds heats up

The Holiday weekend certainly was good to Arkansas' Barry Bonds. Bonds smacked two homers in a 12-4 drubbing of South Boston and then hit two more in the second game, a 10-8 loss. Bonds now has 20 homers on the season.

Johan Santana became the first 10 game winner in the DMBL, improving to 10-1 on the season as Philly shut down D.C. 12-2 in the first game fo their doubleheader yesterday. Santana pitched seven innings, allowing only four hits and two runs, while striking out seven. Santana is the current leader for the coveted Pitcher's Triple Crown (10 wins, 2.57 ERA, and 128 Ks). Jimmy Rollins continues to be an asset for the Endzone Animals, 2 RBIs in game one, and 3-5 in game two. Rollins is now batting .438 in four games with Philly, with 4 doubles, one homer, 4 RBIs, 2 stolen bases, and 1.375 OPS.

Las Vegas' Chone Figgins had two stolen bases against Marietta in the second game of their doubleheader. The first was his 100th of his career.

Vancouver dropped their seventh straight yesterday, losing both ends of the doubleheader with Hillsborough. Their offense has been shut down by Hillsborough and Arkansas, while their pitching couldn't hold the powerful Newark offense in check in the games before. "If we score a lot, we give up a lot, if we hold them, we can't score" said manager Darren Daulton. Vancouver next faces Philadelphia Wednesday, then plays a three-game set with D.C. and another three with Honolulu. "We better get our act together" Daulton continued "or we're in a lot of trouble."
