Sacramento Capitals @ Bethesda Bandicoots |
|
|---|---|
| Series Preview: | A meaty 2-game series between the Caps and the Craps. |
| Game #1: | Giancarlo Stanton had one at-bat in this game but made it count as he pinch-hit homer off Lucky Luis Cessa in the top of the 9th propelled the Sacramento Capitals to a 4-3 win over Bethesda. The Player of the game was the guy who turned out to be the actual game-winner – Ryne Stanek. Usually, I think reliever wins are just a matter of being in the right place at the right time but in this case, Stanek earned his W. He pitched 2-1/3 innings and struck out all seven batters he got out while allowing no hits and a walk. Not bad for a Grade 3. Win-Stanek (1-0) Save-O. Perez (3) Loss-Cessa (0-1) HR-SAC: Stanton (2); BET: none |
| Game #2: | A selective gale was blowing out of Bethesda Stadium tonight as the Bandicoots smacked five homers – including three in a row by Jonathan Schoop, Kyle Seager, and Carlos Santana off Stephen Matz in the 5th as Bethesda outslugged the Caps 9-6. Supposed closer Mike Mayers continued to have tons of problems handling the stress of being the closer on a team that probably does not need one as he lasted 2/3 of an inning in the 9th and was yanked after giving up a run on two hits and two walks and leaving the bases loaded for Codi Heuer (who got a ground out to end the game). With two homers in the game, Seager is on a pace for an 81 homer season (well, in a real MLB season it would have been). Win-Keller (1-0) Save-Heuer (1) Loss-Matz (0-2) HR-SAC: Flores (1); BET:McNeil (1),Schoop (3), K.Seager 2 (4), Santana (1) |
| Series Summary: | Sacramento and Bethesda split the soup. |
