Dallas Orioles Game Recaps
Your place to read about each and every game.
Game 1:
Orioles - 13 Old Fashioneds - 3 WP: Timmy "Cannon" Hanan (3-1) 3B: Anthony Cass 2B: Carlos Colon, Steve Garrabrants While the game might have had two halves a month apart, both of them were dominated with the pitching of Timmy "Cannon" Hanan, throwing a combined seven innings as the Orioles rolled to a 13-3 victory. In the first half of the game, Timmy had his most efficient four innings in his long history with the Orioles, throwing only 50 pitches through four innings, allowing only three hits and three walks. The Orioles offense got going in the second inning with Anthony Cass earning his way on with a bruise. After a passed ball moved him to second, a single from "Special K" Karnowski moved him over to third. With two outs, Jake Bellington hit a comebacker to the mound which was promptly overthrown, allowing Cass to score and put the O's up 1-0. The O's got it started again in the 3rd with Sweetbeard leading off with a single and Coppedge drawing his second walk of the day. Two wild pitches later, Sweetbeard scored and moved Coppedge over to third. Hanan helped his own cause and gained an RBI with a groundout to third to score Coppedge. Anthony Cass followed that with a single and stolen base and scored on another single from PCole to push the score to 4-0. After this, a mini-monsoon laid waste to the Lake Highlands field so the game's second half was moved to Jesuit about a month later, and the offense started off hot, scoring three more in the 5th. Hanan walked and stole second and moved to third on another hit from Cass. Although Cass was thrown out on a fielder's choice from PCole, a single from Special K and then a big double from Carlos Colon to score them both made the lead 7-0 and effectively ending the game at that point. The Orioles finished with 16 hits in the game, led by Cass going 3-4 with triple, 3 R scored, and two RBI. Cass is hitting a robust .324 on the year and is tied of the team lead in triples on the year. Miracles never cease. Timmy threw another solid three innings and finished the game with 7 IP with only 1 ER allowed. A solid effort from the Cannon who made a nice return to the mound and tied Gladney again with three wins. The last two innings were thrown by Jameson and PCole. PCole had a nice 1-2-3 inning on the mound and has maintained his high K/9 rate all year, ranking in the top 3 on the team in the stat. Game 2 Orioles: 10 Old Fashioneds: 6 WP: Josh "McEasy" McEachin (6-1) SV: Tim "Cannon" Hanan (4) 3B: Preston Cole 2B: Steve Garrabrants, Kevin Simmons The Orioles came out hot with the sticks in Game 2 and a familiar face closed it down during the doubleheader sweep. The Orioles offense seems to be rounding into form and the evidence of that was on display on Sunday afternoon. After taking the first game easily, the O's got started with four early runs in the first. Frenchie drew another walk, stole second and was driven home by yet another extra base hit from Steve Garrabrants. That was followed by a singles from McEasy and Timmy Hanan which scored runs. A couple of hits and an error later, the score moved to 4-0 and the O's were off to the races. The second inning held more of the same. A single from PCB and a double from Simmons to score him felt familiar. A walk to Frenchie and singles to Garranbrants and McEasy pushed it to 7-0. Kurt "Special K" Karnowski continued his hot hitting with another single (his 4th in a row at that point) to swell the lead to 8-0. The O's put McEasy on the bump and he pitched like the ace that he is. While he didn't have his best stuff, he didn't struggled much with the 'Neds offense, giving up 2R (1ER) on a two run bomb from the 'Neds catcher. While he must feel some slight shame from this discretion and his lack of strikeouts on the day, he only allowed two walks and six hits over his five innings of work. He had the nice cushion to work with so he just went about his business on this day. Steve Garrabrants came on in relief and threw some quality innings of relief. Throwing mainly fastballs on the outside corner, Garrabrants threw three innings, allowing two runs and not giving much to the 'Neds in terms of building a rally. Things did get a little dicey towards the end with the 'Neds putting a couple on the board against Special K in the 9th. The O's had Matty Garrabrants warming up in the 'pen but the O's short stop wanted the ball so he got the ball. Cue the Cannon. Timmy Hanan came in and made quick work of the game, striking out his first batter and inducing the game ending groundout to Frenchie at short. Since the tying run was on deck, technically Tim gets a save out of the deal which doesn't hurt his feelings. News and Notes:
