This Week: 2-2
April 14th vs. Garden City (L 10-1, LP- Josh Walls). The pitching was just bad in this one. Walls gave up 4 runs in 6 innings, but Eddie Duran gave up 5 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Ouch!
April 16th at Northwest Kansas Tech (W 3-2, WP- Ryan DuFour, SV- Mark Ryan). Tim Yoder had the game winning RBI with a double in the top of the 8th. DuFour and Ryan pitched 2 2/3 perfect innings to end the game.
April 17th at Dodge City (W 3-2, WP- Fernando Orozco, SV- Mark Ryan). The pitching again did the trick, as Orozco gave up 2 runs in 6 innings, and Gerardo Chacon, Rafael Manrique, and Ryan pitching the last 3 innings, giving up just 3 hits.
April 19th vs. Seward County (L 3-2, 10 innings, LP- Rafael Manrique). This time we were on the short end of the 3-2 score, as we wasted a quality start by Ivan Gonzalez who pitched 8 innings and gave up just 2 runs. We only managed 5 hits in the game, with Felipe Cintra having 2 of those 5.
GM/Manager Analysis
Well, 3-2 seems to be our preferred score, at least for this week. Take away the game against Garden City in which we self destructed, and it was actually a pretty good week. The pitching has definitely been our bright spot so far. Pitching and defense, as our starter ERA is 3rd best in the KJCCC West, and we've only committed 1 error in our first 9 games. That's the best in the KJCCC West, and probably the best overall in the KJCCC. Offense is the problem. We are last, or next to last, in almost all offensive statistic. We run the bases well when we do get on base, as we are 4th in the KJCCC West in stolen bases and base running. But if we don't find some offense soon, it's going to be a long season. I'm mildly encouraged with the start though.
