Chris Ianetta let loose on Hillsborough yesterday in the Bombers 11-10 victory, hitting a homer and driving in 5 runs in the game. In the same game the Hitmen's Aubrey Huff went 4-5 with 3 RBIs. Huff now leads the league (after 4 games) in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging.
Team Buddah finally suffered their first defeat of the pre-season. The Sardines dealt them a crushing 12-2 blow thanks to a brilliant performance from Dustin McGowan (7 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, BB, 9 K). The win was also Sardine City's first of the pre-season after losing several close calls in the last two days.
The sole winless team remains the first-year Amityville Ant Slayers, who dropped a 5-2 decision to Marietta and later, 3-2 to the Las Vegas Rat Pack. The club remains upbeat though. "Hey those are two really good teams and we held our own with them" says skipper Harmon Killebrew. "We just need some time to come together as a team." The Slayers were encouraged by starts from Armando Galarraga (7.1 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 6 K) and veteran Roy Oswalt (7 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, BB, 2 K).
On the other end of the spectrum, the final undefeated team is the Newark Sugar Bears. "The team is angry," said Don Mattingly "after losing the cup to the hated Iron Fist, we won't rest until that ugly thing is back in Newark." The Sugar Bears also are anxious to point out that they can win without the crutch of playing in the old Cereal Bowl, a criticism levied on the team for much of the past few seasons. "After we crush them a few times, they'll need some time to come up with new excuses," said newcomer Jason Giambi.
