Felipe Chavez led the team with two wins at the end of April but wouldn't play again until August
Only three more wins were gained in April though as Louisville twice put three-game losing streaks on the board and finished the month with just six wins compared to 20 losses. Reliever Felipe Chavez with two wins was the team leader in wins while lefty starter Doug Clement and closer Carlos Rosa both had four losses. Pepe Jaramillo was 0-3 from his five starts and possessed an ERA north of 10, Morales had finally returned from the D/L but had no decisions in two starts and an unhealthy 5.25 ERA. Rosa, Chavez & Lando Klomp all had walked double-digit batters while nine pitchers had a WHIP of 1.50 or over including Samuel Cant’s figure of 2.70 (10.8 BB/9). Sophomores Julio Barajas and Mike Singleton were tying to hold the bottom of the rotation up, in their 10 starts between them they had a record of 1-1 (both Singletons).
Injuries struck again at the end of the month with Chavez being taken out of the game on the 27th with what turned out to be bone chips in his elbow, an injury that would keep him out most of the rest of the season, while Sean Maguire also suffered a finger blister injury on the last day of April that would see him miss the start of the second month.
Abay was having a blast in his first month in the BBA, hitting .289 in his first 26 starts
Abay Omoruyi had taken to centrefield like a duck to water, or at least better than most of Sluggers players, and had kept Gelinas out after his activation off the D/L. Omoruyi had made 26 starts in his first BBA month hitting .289/.305/.456 with three homers and 10 RBI while scoring nine times, William Gelinas had just three AB’s to his credit in the month and hadn’t recorded a single hit. Shag Hopkins was the long ball man, hitting eight in April along with 16 RBI but was only hitting for a .198 average. Sean Maguire & Gabriel Talamante followed him up with five homers each. Jaime Ramirez led the team with nine out of nine successful steals, Pedro Saldana had eight but from 11 attempts. Speed was of the essence to Louisville’s game though with ten triples being legged out in the first month of 2036. Rightfielder Vince Osborn was told to tone it down a bit though after being caught on six of his nine attempts, in 2035 he successfully stole 19 out of 27 attempts.
