Padres Report - September 8th

Padres’ Report – September 8, 2006

Yuck. Two-hit in the heart of a playoff run? Yuck.

I predicted a 2-1 Padres series victory, but come on guys, don’t dig yourself a hole like this.

All right David, you’re known as a “Big Game Pitcher,” this is a big game. Step up! We need you!

Hi-A – Adam Bourassa --- 3-4; 2B (1), 2 R, RBI, BB
Hi-A – Nic Crosta --- 2-5; R, 3 RBI, SO
Hi-A – Chase Headley --- 1-2; 2 R, 2 BB
Hi-A – Tim Brown --- 2-4; 2 RBI
Lo-A – Will Venable --- 2-3; 2B (2), R, BB

Pitchers:

Lo-A – Greg Burke --- 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO, 0 HR

Commentary:

Lake Elsinore won and advanced to the California League Championship series. Congrats Storm!

A bunch of guys came through with good games, but there wasn’t a single guy who carried the team. A team effort... Huh, what a novel concept. One more series fellas! Keep it going.

You want to see your best guys come through in big games. Will Venable did just about all he could to help the Fort Wayne Wizards win their 3-game playoff series. Will hit .583 with 2 doubles for the three game set…
