Week 4 brought us 4 road teams coming away with victories.
White Bear Bears 2 (6, 1.5, 4.5) @ Township Tomahawks 1 (1, 5.5, 2.5):
The Bears came out swinging led by Michael Brantley 2 HR, 4 runs, and 6 Rbi while hitting .300 for the week winning the category 6-1 to take an early lead 1-0.
Pitching was a different story as Charlie Morton shined for the Tomahawks with a W 7inn and 12 k's. Shortly after the game it was rumored that Morton may be released in favor of journeyman outfielder Jim Adducci and a $7 bid. Tomahawks management has come under fire recently after there terrible draft and now a slow start a change may be coming. Tomahawks win 5.5 - 1.5 to tie the score at 1.
The resurgent Bears continued their winning ways as Brad Miller drew 6 walks and played sparkling defense to win the mixed game 4.5-2.5 and take the 2-1 victory and sole possession of 2nd place.
Centerville Chaos 2 (.5, 5, 5) @ Roesville Raiders 1 (6.5, 2, 2)
The Raiders came out swinging literally. As Miguel Sano took offense to an inside pitch and charged the mound and may get a few days off for his efforts. This seemed to spark Sano as he was a 1 man wrecking crew at the plate. 11 hits, 11 rbi, 3 homeruns, and a .524 batting average. Sano would be a household name if he played on a better team instead of Roesville. Sano has recently mentioned that he would like to be sent down to the minors to play with the rest of the good players. Roesville 6.5-.5 takes a 1-0 lead.
Centerville appalled after losing a game to the Raiders stormed back on the right arm of Masahiro Tanaka. Tanaka threw a complete game shutout to lead a dominant pitching performance that led to 5-2 victory and tied the score at 1.
Rubber arm Andrew Miller sealed the victory in the mixed category with 3 App and 7 k's in 3.1 innings. Centerville wins 5-2 and wins the Matchup 2-1. Roesville drops to 2-10 on the year while Centerville improves to 9-3 firmly in control of first place.
Twin City Brewers 2 (6, 4, 2) @ Hugo Hurt Locker 1 (1, 3, 5):
The Brewers breakout of slump to upset the Hurtlocker. 10 Khris Davis had 3 homers, 4 runs, 5 rbi to lead the Brewers hitters to a 6-1 victory and take a 1-0 lead.
The Brewers continued their dominance in this matchup with stellar pitching led by L. Severino 7 inning 6 k shutout and Yu Darvish 6 inning 10 k and a win to lead the way. Brewers win 4-3 to take a 2-0 lead.
The Hurt Locker narrowly avoided the sweep in this matchup thanks in large part to A. Miranda, M. Stroman, and M. Pineda. The trio posted above 11.8 k/9 and all kept opp BAA below .230. This was enough to give Hugo a 5-2 win in the mixed game and salvage a 1-2 loss instead of a sweep.
Dinkytown Wildcats 3 (4.5, 4.5, 4) @ Little Falls 0 (2.5, 2.5, 3):
The Wildcats are trying to rekindle the magic of the good old days. If its only for a week we shall see but this was a big sweep for the Wildcats to stay in contention early. Avi Garcia 9 h, 6 r, 6 rbi, 2 hr, and a .360 average along with Jose Ramirez 9h, 3 2b, .391 avg led the way as Dinkytown won 4.5 to 2.5 to take the early lead 1-0.
Veteran left hander and staff ace J. Quintana anchored the staff with 6 inn 10 k performance and a big win. Dinkytown management add Wade Miley this week and were rewarded with 12 innings and 14 k's to help seal the pitching matchup.
The mixed game was more of the same as Dinkytown won 4-3 to take a 3-0 win and secure the only sweep of the week. Little Falls wasted 21 hits from Mike Trout and Adam Jones in the loss. Mike Trout is only signed for 10 more years through 2027 lets hope at least one time he will have requisite talent put around him so he has a shot at a ring. This is year 4 and he has been alone thanks to the cheapest owner in the entire league.
