Pioneers Outrun Greyhounds Slugging Average now Posted on Stats Page published Friday, April 18, 2003
The Pioneers faced the Newport Greyhounds at home Tuesday.
What started out as a defensive game turned into a foot
race in the 3rd inning. While the Pioneers jumped the
Greyhounds off the line, Newport took the lead in the 3rd
and held it until the Pioneers passed them on the backstretch
of the 5th. Newport was unable to keep up and the Pioneer final
kick added 3 runs in the 6th. |

Greyhound pitcher Welch struggled in the first. Leading off by hitting Francis, he walked Smith and singled Gatlin, scoring Francis. He then hits Burba to load the bases Smith will score on a Fuqua sac fly, leaving 2 on(2-0 Pioneers). The Greyhounds will answer strongly in the 3rd, when a tight strike zone will leave Gatlin struggling and allow the Greyhounds 6 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks. The Pioneers will tie it up in the bottom of the inning when lead off Fletcher walks, is joined by Fuqua on a double, and Skinner on a walk. Davis scores Fletcher on a single and Francis brings in Fuqua on a sac fly. Smith adds the last 2 runs with a base clearing triple (6-6). The Greyhounds weren't done yet though. At the top of their order in the 4th, they lead off with a walk and a single. Gatlin is relieved by Rayford who gives up 4 more hits and the hounds are off with 5 more runs. The Pioneers add 2 in the bottom when Burba hits a lead off home run and Skinner singles and then scores on a Newport fielding error(11-8 Newport). Starting Pitcher Gatlin pitched 3 innings and allowed 8 runs on 7 hits with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts. Reliever Rayford pitched 3 innings and allowed 4 runs on 6 hits with 1 walk and 1 strikeout. Closer Altom pitched 1 inning allowing 0 runs on 0 hits with 0 walks and 0 strikeouts. Offensive Leaders: Smith - triple, single; Burba - home run; Fuqua - home run, double; Skinner - 2 singles. |

Rules Review Disclaimer: These interpretations are my own. They may well be incorrect. I try to research them well before I use them, but the rules of baseball, which seem very simple, often are not. The point of the review is to stimulate thought and to clarify situations that I know have presented difficulties in the past. So my apoligies in advance for any mistakes that may creep in.
