Cup of Coffee
Welcome back to the daily Cup of Coffee.
In Syracuse, Pawtucket won 12-3, home runs were hit by Kelly Shoppach, George Lombard, and Robert Petagine, who also had 5 RBIs. Curt Schilling pitched a perfect frame in the ninth with 1 strike-out while throwing only 7 pitches! After a rain-out yesterday Portland suffered a 3-6 loss to the Fisher Cats this afternoon. David Murphy was 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, both Raul Nieves and Jim Buckley homered. The Blue Rocks dominated the Pelicans 12-2, for the third time in the last two games Brant Ust homered. Down in Greenville things didn't go quite as well, even with an Andrew Pinckney long ball the Bombers were defeated 1-6. The Spinners won 6-2, Willy Mota was 2-for-4 at the plate with 2 runs, and in 2 2/3 innings of relief Brian Marshall struck out five allowing only 1 hit. The Gulf Coast Red Sox had a game scheduled, but it was postponed due to the rain.
Player of the Night: Curt Schilling who finally showed some life as a closer/reliever.
