Dugout Dirt 2041.7 - Week 2 Summary
Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2020 4:37 pm
Week 2 of the Cedar season proved eventful for the Cedar faithful with a three game sweep against visiting Bucharest and picking up one of three games at Mumbai. The highlight win of the week was against Mumbai with RF Carlos Torres stroking a 2 run double to spark a 3 -run 9th inning in the 11 to 9 win.
This gives the Cedars a share of the Bancroft lead early in the season at 7-5 with Mumbai with Bucharest one game behind at 6-6 and Jerusalem with a slow start out of the gates at 4-8.
The players providing significant contributions during Week 2 were:
CL Corbin Torres – Corbin recorded 3 saves in 3 appearances while allowing no runs and one hit in 3 innings.
RP Jose Carrillo – Jose did not allow any runs in 5.1 innings over three relief appearances while scattering 4 hits and allowing one walk.
CF Maximo Quezada – Belted another 2 homers and drove in 7 more runs while raising his average to .283.
LF Pierre Cordona – Raised his team leading average to .457 by getting 6 hits in 11 AB’s.
3B Antonio Baca – Went 6 for 16 with a homer.
Next week will have a significant impact as the Cedars have back to back home series. Six games at home seems pretty appealing for this squad, however the two visiting teams are Jerusalem and Bucharest whom both made the playoffs last year. The projected starter for the Beirut wlll be Henning Veenman (1-1, 7.00 ERA) who gained the win in his last outing which was against Bucharest.
Off the field, the Cedars lost reliever Pablo Morales to Bucharest and gained Tony Carabello from Cairo via the waiver wire. Carabello has been placed on the active roster and is expected to start one game next week.
