The duel for the batting title
will come down to today's season finale.
Rowdy's Michael Young went 2-for-5
to gain ground on Victor Martinez, who never came off the bench for
Bridgewater Friday night. The two are expected to start today, with
Young facing starter Mark Buehrle and Martinez facing Philly (a
scheduled starter TBD since Matt Garza went down for 10 days in his last
start).
Entering today's games, Martinez leads the batting race with a .33333 average, ahead of Young and his .331838 clip.
Batting
second in the Pipers' lineup, Young was able to get 5 at-bats last
night. If V-Mart goes hitless in 4 at-bats that would open the door for
Young, who then would need just 1 hit in 5 at-bats to sneak past him.
Assuming Young gets another 5 at-bats, and Martinez 4, he essentially
needs two more hits than Martinez. In most scenarios, if Young outhits
Martinez by just one, he falls short by about .0001.
