Maguire's 10-hit week (2035-15)

In a rare good week Sluggers ploughed into June with a 4-2 week. After finishing off a series win at Waterfront Park against Nashville they went on the road to Huntsville and California. They lost the Huntsville series 2-1 with all three games being one-run games before heading for South Pacific Field where they comfortably won the first two games.

Sean Maguire is still red hot knocking out 10 hits during the week, he only had one homer but then again Louisville only had six in the week overall. His .455/.480/.682 and 15 total bases led the team in the week. Rookie Pedro Saldana was the team leader in runs driven in with seven while three of Jaime Ramirez’s seven hits were doubles. Ramirez was the only one of the regulars not to coax a walk though in a 19-walk week, Brian Clough led the team with four as he also added seven hits in his quest for 3,000. Clough though is on the decline according to the clubhouse mole, he is becoming obsessed with the hits chase as Father Time catches up with him. The coaches are starting to pass notes around calling him a ‘two-star’ player instead of the ‘four-star’ player he was always referred to in the past; this really could be his one last shot at ‘The Chase’. His stats are all holding up at the moment but it’s a steep cliff to fall off. Shag Hopkins might have had only three hits in the week but his two homers made him the third Sluggers player to reach the 10-homer mark in 2035, the other two of course being Gabriel Talamante & Sean Maguire. Talamante leads the team in 14 homers but also has the fewest hits (43) of any Louisville starter.

Kevin Morales had a good week, winning both his starts with a 0.75 WHIP and a 12/2 K/BB ratio. The week’s other two start pitcher, Pepe Jaramillo, only won the one game but still had a 0.86 WHIP and only gave up four runs in 14 IP. Carlos Rosa got into four games in the week, all save situations, but unfortunately blew two of them leaving him with an 11.57 ERA for the week and a 3.21 WHIP.

Image Alberto Delgardo went 4-5 with two doubles & a homer at Beaumont but still ended up a loser as the home side won 18-17 in 10 In Double-A the Slammers, Sluggers’ affiliate in Alabama, lost a slug-fest in 10 innings at the Beaumont Drillers. After the Slammers built an 11-4 lead by the middle of the sixth the bullpen melted down, allowing two runs an innings and three in the ninth to send it into extra innings knotted at 13. Two doubles, a single, a run and a three-run shot by Lawrence De La Garza in the top of the tenth appeared to have wrapped it up but Drillers edged closer to 17-14 in the bottom of the innings before Beaumont walked the game off with a Grand Slam! Both sides registered over twenty hits. Alabama recovered though and won both the other games of the week against Carson City. Keith Huber who had been doing so well in Triple-A, 6-3 with a 2.2 WAR, suffered shoulder problems in his first game of the month and headed for the DL; he is not expected back this season unless the Blues make the play-offs. Centre fielder John Dundee, one of the top prospects in the organisation, is doing well at Single-A; he probably could do it at either of the higher levels, but Louisville are using him there as a utility outfielder giving him experience all across the outfield.
