Well it’s official; I have landed and settled into my room here in Hawaii. For now we haven’t really done anything baseball related, unless you can call sitting on the beach and trying to adjust to the time difference, baseball related. Well don’t feel too sorry for me just yet, we do have a practice [...]

I have arrived in Lakeland, FL for my pre-Hawaii workouts and am having deja vu all over again from spring training. It feels like I was just here but it has been several months now so I guess one can say that there is something mystical about Tigertown. Never mind, my personal issues with this [...]

Hold the phone, stop the presses. Just as you may have thought you weren’t going to hear from me until next spring, well life just keeps throwing me curveballs (no pun intended). Just as life throws them at me, I get to go throw some of my own, as I have been selected to play [...]

Well the season has officially come to an end for myself and the rest of my Whitecap teammates. As you the reader probably knows, we suffered a tough game three loss to South Bend by one run at home. Was it a little sad? Yeah, it was. Saying goodbye to everyone right there after the [...]

The White Caps lost a tough one tonight in a deciding third game against South Bend.  The final was 3-2 but the White Caps hung in there and even put together a rally in the ninth inning before going down.  Joseph Tucker had the big hit with a two out, two run single in the [...]

Trevor Feeney improved to 3-6 on the season with a spectacular start in the Tigers 2-0 win over Vermont.  He gave up three hits and he struck out nine in seven shutout innings.  Daniel DeLucia gave up two walks and didn’t give up a hit in two shutout innings to earn his first save of [...]

The White Caps took care of business with their backs against the wall in a 11-0 win over South Bend.  The win forces a winner take all game three tomorrow.  Thad Weber was outstanding and he gave up just two hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in six shutout innings.  Andrew Hess threw a [...]

Oneonta scored two runs in the first inning and then didn’t score again before the pen gave up three late runs to cost the Tigers a win.  Nicholas Cassavechian gave up the two ninth inning runs and he fell to 0-1.  It’s too bad because a solid start by Mark Sorenson went to waste.  He [...]

Oneonta blew out Lowell 14-6 and while there were plenty of hitting stars, Billy Nowlin was a notch above the rest.  He went three for four with a homerun, five RBIs and three runs.  Mike Gosse went two for four with two RBIs and three runs.
Darwin De Leon had a rough start but with all [...]

These three game series are tough because game one is so important.  The White Caps and South Bend played an ugly one though in a game that saw the two teams combine for eleven errors.  The first inning was the big frame and six of the eight runs scored came in that inning.  Jonathan Kibler [...]

Mike Goose drew a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the thirteenth inning and that pushed across the winning for Oneonta in their 2-1 win over Vermont.  Hayden Parrott had a nice game and he went four for five with a run while Tyler Weber had a pair of doubles.
Anthony Shawler was one of [...]

Jared Gayhart gave up three runs in the seventh inning and a one run lead turned into a two run loss in the blink of an eye.  It’s too bad because a solid start by Trevor Feeney went to waste.  He gave up two unearned runs on two hits and three walks with five strikeouts [...]

Virgil Vasquez saved the best for last as he threw his second shutout of the season in the Hens 4-0 win.  He gave up five hits and a walk with ten strikeouts and the win pushed his record to an even 12-12.
Erick Almonte went two for four with two doubles, a run and an RBI.  [...]

Aaron Fuhrman fell to 0-1 in the White Caps 5-4 loss as the regular season wound to a close.  He gave up five runs (four earned) on eleven hits with six strikeouts in four strikeouts.  Andrew Hess threw three shutout innings of relief and that allowed the White Caps to pull to within one run [...]
