Zito was blasted (3.1 IP, 7 ER, 0 K) as Hillsborough and Carolina battled it out to a 14-11 Hitmen victory, each team scoring five runs in their half of the ninth inning. Aramis Ramirez had a monster day on the losing side - 4-5, 6 RBIs, and his sixth homer of the spring. Hillsborough's answer was Robinson Cano who had 5 RBIs and a round tripper of his own. Hmmm who do I want to jinx today...?
Alfonso Soriano hit a grand slam in the ninth inning to break the tie and eventually win an 8-4 game for the Buddahs against the Mighty Men. It was Soriano's second homer of the spring. Team Buddah jumped out of the gate with a quick five game winning streak, but has come back down to earth, winning only two of their last seven.
Eric Byrnes swiped four bases and went 3-3 to lead the Blue Ridge Bombers to a 9-4 victory over the Bushslappers. Adam Wainwright went the distance to improve to 3-0 and Vlad Guerrero had two homers and four RBIs.
Vancouver won their sixth in a row by defeating the Sardine City Straphangers 5-1 and the Mudcats 3-2 in extra innings. Vancouver was bringing up the rear but after solid efforts from Ben Sheets and Zack Greinke, the Iron Fist are now sitting at 9-7. Iron Fist manager Darren Daulton said that the team was going to give their regulars some more playing time in the last 10 games to shake off the rust.
Chris Young of Las Vegas improved to 4-0 after a solid effort against the Buddahs. Young limited New Jersey to two runs on six hits in seven innings and struck out seven. The Rat Pack has the best record in the DMBL preseason (11-5).
10 games remain in spring training. The DMBL's Opening Day will be on Sunday, March 23.
