2006 Standings and Game Summaries Playoff Schedule
In the 28+ Final: So ends our 15th year of game-play for the NWAMSBL and what can be considered by many to be our most competitive season yet from top to bottom. Despite the overall records in the MSBL 28+, there was a camaraderie built among players on each of the four squads that was key in the revitalization of that division. The Bentonville Dodgers held true to their domination of that league leading the standings all the way to winning the title in a closely fought championship game. The FPEC Tigers, who had given the Dodgers their only blemish all season, held a 3-1 lead through most of the game with the help of smart pitching by young Zeb Undernehr. The Dodgers were confident in a comeback effort and placed some key hits off Tiger reliever and old-school stalwart, Bill Snowden to push the score to 6-3. The Dodgers finished off almost a perfect season by defeating the Tigers 6-3. Rich Conner picked up the victory by pitching 8 innings of 5 hit ball, striking out 9 batters, while issuing no walks. Conner also helped his cause by adding a couple of singles at the plate to earn MVP of the 2006 Playoffs. Wayne Robinson had two hits, scoring twice, while Jim Enneking had 3 RBI's with a single and a fielders choice. The Dodgers managed 10 hits on the evening. The Dodgers final record was 16-1. Tony Bigelow led the Tigers offense with 2 hits. Bill Snowden takes the loss for the Tigers.

In the 18+ semi-finals: White Sox 1 Brewers 4...The White Sox were coming off a previous week's emotional win over the Tahlequah Thunder and had hopes of making a run to capture a second title in three years. However, Rick Elliot stood firmly in their path by pitching a solid game striking out 10 White Sox batters surrendering only 3 hits and a walk. Phillip May of the White Sox was pitching a dandy of his own striking out 7 through 4 1/3 giving up only 3 hits as well. The two teams stayed knotted at a single run through 6 when White Sox reliever, Patrick Cawthon, surrendered three straight hits to load the bases. White Sox short stop, Lyndall Bolinger, turned an unassisted double-play, but the next Brewer batter roped a double to leave the score 4-1, Brewers. Cubs 9 Athletics 6
In the 18+ Final: Fayetteville Cubs 4 Fayetteville Brewers 1 The Cubs and Brewers faced off in a battle of ex-Razorbacks. For the Brewers, Zac Clark, has been the most consistently solid pitcher all season long. Excellent location, mechanics, and intelligence on the hill. His battery mate, Matt Villines calls a great game as he seems to know the weak spot of every hitter in the league. For the Cubs, pitcher Josh Smith brings power and intensity. A stark contrast in style, but both were effective in their own right. The game was tight from the get-go considering the stalwart efforts by both pitchers knotted at 1-1 going into the 5th inning when short-stop, Aaron Ledbetter, hit a long home run on the short field to break up the tie. The score remained 2-1 through the seventh when the Cubs tacked on two more on some key-placed hits. The Brewers could not muster the comeback in the bottom of the frame. Final 4-1. Insert--However, in a twist of fate, it was discovered that the Cubs enlisted an ineligible player and were disqualified after further investigation. With such a great battle on the field, it would have been preferable to let the on-field play dictate the outcome. Since both the Brewers and Athletics faced the Cubs, it was determined by the board that an on-field attempt should be made to declare a champion rather than the logical automatic declaration of victory in the final game forfeit. However, logistics and weather prevented such a meeting. Co-Champions have been declared by a narrow board vote. The Brewers claim the regular season championship with a 19-1 record. White Sox place third and the Tahlequah Thunder end up in fourth place in the league final after the playoff games.

Round 1 Results: White Sox 14 Tahlequah Thunder 8 Admittedly, the White Sox were a little nervous going into this game. The Thunder swept the regular season double-header from the Sox and Tahlequah pitcher, Mark Taylor had shut down the Sox and was taking the hill again today. Taylor looked up to his form in the first inning striking out two and getting an easy ground ball. White Sox starter, Andy Crowson mirrored Taylor's feat by striking out two of his own and getting a pick off from catcher Andy Miller to make the first go by quick. To start the scoring, Andy Miller leads of the second inning with a home run over the center field fence. The Sox added three more in the inning. For the Thunder, Justin Ludwig started off the bottom of the second with a home run of his own. Crowson shut down the rest of the batters, though including a diving catch of a blooper to his right (Crowson is a lefty). The third inning became the undoing of the Thunder on this day. The White Sox rattled off 9 runs against a pair of Thunder relievers. Headed into the fifth, the Sox were up 14-4, but let the Thunder back into the game on a couple of errant throws by coach Boudreaux missing out on a key double play. Boudreaux settled down to help the Sox defense in the six and seventh to preserve the win 14-8. Andy Crowson earns the victory with 9Ks in 5 innings. Patrick Cawthon earned the save pitching well in the final two frames. Standouts at the plate were Miller (2-4 HR), John Michael Hairston (2-5 HR, 3RBI), Robert Foshe (2-3 2B). For Tahlequah, Justin Ledbetter went 3-4 with a home run and Parker Whitley was 2-4 with a double. Mark Taylor takes the loss despite only pitching two innings.--Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox In the first round of the
playoffs, we took on the White Sox. While we hadn't seen any action
for 6 weeks, this proved to be our undoing. Mark Taylor started out
great mowing through the first three hitters with 2 K's and 1 slow
roller to short. Again, not having seen action for 6 weeks, Mark had
already started to run out of gas. Starting the second, White Sox
hitter hit a solo homer to a very short center field normally a
routine fly ball. None-the-less, it is a homer in the books. This
opened the gate, with Mark and our relievers not able to find the zone
and a few uncharacteristic passed balls and errors, the sox were able
to jump ahead and stay there. The layoff was also detrimental for our
bats as well. In all, not a very good game for us. --Mark
Dreadfulwater, Tahlequah Thunder Brewers 2 Pirates 1 In anticipation of a full report, we could hear the excitement from the next field over... The Pirates gave the number one seed Brewers a scare nearly stealing a victory. The Brewers move on 2-1. Rangers 0 Cubs 4 The cubs won 4-0 thanks to a complete game from Justin Ledbetter. The cubs roped 4 doubles on their way to victory.--Jamie Thornton, Cubs Athletics 1 Orioles 0 (Forfeit)
Volcanoes 3 Dodgers 11 First game the
Dodgers and Volcanoes met up. The Dodgers won the game. Last score I
knew about was 11-3. Might not be the final score. Eric Exner hit a
two run homer in the 1st inning to start the Dodgers scoring.

September 9-10, 2006
Black Sox 0 White Sox 5 Braves 0 White Sox 17 The Fall weather is nearly upon us and things have cooled down enough to just about justify these black jerseys I have compelled my team to wear. Today was a story of White Sox pitching. Phillip May took the ball for the first game still nursing a pain in his elbow and a pulled groin. May could only muster 4 innings, but save for one walk, was pitching a perfect game with 7 strike outs. Veteran Andy Crowson came on to relieve and with 6 2/3 innings through gave up the only hit by a White Sox pitcher all day. May and Crowson combined for 12 strikeouts, 1 hit, 1 walk. In game two, Patrick Cawthon took the mound all alone and pitched a no-hitter with 10 strike outs. Cawthon would have landed a perfect game had it not been for a misjudged grounder to Boudreaux at second for the error. Matt Boudreaux was seeing the ball best on the day going 4-5 and had a web-gem catch in left field. Andy Miller had a pair of doubles in the first game and roped a line drive home run in the second. Mike Lopez was 3-5 to come out of his slumber. --Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox

August 19-20, 2006
White Sox 2 Brewers 12 Brewers 4 White Sox 0 On a day where the White Sox could only muster 8 players on the most critical weekend of the year, the results were predictable. The White Sox, having beat the mighty Brewers earlier in the season, were hoping for at least a split in the series this weekend. Minus 4 of 5 pitchers and three key position players, the Sox were doomed from the start. In game one, Andy Crowson pitched as long as he could before having to give way to stiffness. The Sox were having trouble hitting Rick Elliot anyway, but Crowson had given up seven and catcher/reliever Andy Miller, gave up another 5 before anyone knew what hit them. The Brewers mounted what must have been a record number of extra-base hits with 5 doubles in the third alone. In game two, first baseman, Dustin Wilson took the mound and pitched a real dandy only giving up a couple of hits. Once again, the Sox had trouble hitting the ball anywhere the Brewers were not. Pitcher Zac Clark was pitching well, but the Sox were serving up Sunday hops the whole game long to help him out. The Sox hope to bring the rest of their squad come playoff time.--Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox.
Old Style 11 Volcanoes 6 The Old Style and the Volcanoes met at Veterens Park for the last game of their series tonight. The game was fairly close until the 5th inning. The 5th inning started with the score somewhere near even. In the bottom the 3rd the Old Style was able to put some runs on the board and hold off the Volcanoes for the rest of the game. The final score was 11-6 in favor of the Old Style. Player of the game for the Old Style has to be pitcher Mark Davis. Davis pitched a complete and recorded several K's with a very quality change up. He also went 2-3 at the plate with a triple. So, good job Mark. This Saturday the Old Style take on the Tigers in Fayetteville's White River Baseball Facility. We will be looking for our first win against the Tigers. --Jeff Kennett, Old Style
Dodgers beat the Volcanoes
in the 5th inning.
The Dodgers won both games
this past weekend, 10-0 vs. the Volcanoes, and 12-9 to the Tigers.
While Charles Fowler, and Deron Gardner had big doubles for the
Dodgers, Sam Chae had the big hit, with his 2nd home run of the
season. Eric Exner pitched 5 innings of 1 hit ball for the victory.

Tigers W Volcanoes L Old Style 17 Volcanoes 2 The Tigers took the Volcanoes in game one. I do not know what the score was. In Game two of the day the Volcanoes took on the Old Style in the 4th game of the season series of 5 games. The Old Style hold a 2-1 advantage as of this time. The Volcanoes seemed to be a little tired from the first game of the day. The Old Style started the scoring early and often with solid hits scattered all over the field. For the second game the Volcanoes hard a hard time getting good hits off of Old Style hurler Ron Keen. Keen's knuckle was again very good giving catcher Jeff Kennett a thorough workout behind the plate. Final score was 17-2 in favor of the Old Style.--Jeff Kennett, Old Style

Smith Orioles 4 White Sox 5 Pirates 1 no report Black Sox 2 Brewers 14 On saturday, the Brewer's defeated the Black Sox 14 to 2 in a lopsided battle. The shorted handed Brewers team bat's were slow to come until the 4th inning where the Brewer's came alive. The inning was highlighted by a John Davis three run home run. Rick Elliott threw a complete game. Solid defense led by Christian Pummill at 2nd led to an easy win. The Black Sox attempt at a rally was shut down by Braden Watson who threw out the Black Sox runner by 11.5 feet from right field.--Matt Villines, Brewers Athletics 0 Diamond Dawgs 9 Diamond Dawgs 5 Athletics 6 FORT SMITH - On typical hot
& humid summer day, the Arkansas Athletics traveled to Evans Boys &
Girls Club for a double-header versus the Alma Diamond Dawgs.
Willing to travel and play amongst competition around the area, the
A's were excited at the prospects of extending their winning streak.
GAME ONE - Diamond Dawgs 9, Athletics 0: The Dawgs' bats found every
hole in the A's defense and four key fielding errors aided the Dawgs
even further. Collectively the A's struggled at the plate,
producing just four base hits which was not enough to counter the
Dawgs scoring. The 7th, 8th, and 9th hitters led the way offensively
for the Diamond Dawgs going 7-12, while the remainder of the team was
only 7-26.

Dodgers 12 Old Style 1 Volcanoes 4 Old Style 14 Wednesday, the Old Style and Dodgers hooked up for a mid-week game under the lights of Veterans Park. Fairly close game for the first 5 innings as the score was 4-1 in favor of the Dodgers. Old Style pitcher Mark Davis used a solid change up to great effect keeping the Dodgers off balance. In the 6th innings Davis was pulled to save something for the weekend. Old Style manager Jeff Kennett came in and in two innings recorded 1K and only 1 BB. However, the Dodgers managed to put about 8 runs in the board in those two innings. Unfortunately both innings went a little longer than they needed to. These things happen. I believe the final score was somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-1. Once again the Old Style offense was in hiding. Only 4 hits were recorded off Dodger pitching. The Dodgers pitching staff also managed about 13 K's against the Old Style. The Old Style and the Volcanoes hooked up in a battle for third place in the 28+ Division. The season series between the two teams being knotted at 1-1. The visiting Volcanoes led off the game scoring 1 run in the top of the 1st. The Old Style answered with a 2 runs in the bottom half of the inning off a Mark Davis base clearing triple. In the second inning the Old Style continued pounding the ball. Matt Watson had a bases loaded ground rule double over the left field fence scoring two runs. In the 4th inning Old Style vet Kelly Abney had a lead off triple. Unleashing some fury sending the ball to right center. He scored later in the inning making it 5-1 Old Style. Old Style pitcher Ron Keen found his knuckle to be on today using it to near perfection in innings 5 and 6. Only 6 pitches were needed in each inning to retire the eager Volcanoes batters. Three more runs were scored for the Old Style in the 6th inning. The Volcanoes finally figured out Keen in the 7th getting 3 runs across. With the score at 8-4 in the bottom of the 7th the Old Style batted around scoring the necessary 6 runs to ensure a run rule victory. Don Arrick exacted his revenge on the Volcanoes with the game winning hit scoring two runs. Arrick was 0-3 going into the 7th but but the ball into right center for the game winner. The Old Style player of the game has to be Pitcher Ron Keen. Keen went 4-5 at the plate. Off the mound he pitched a complete game recording 8 strikeouts and only issuing 3 walks. Final score 14-4 Old Style. -- Jeff Kennett, Old Style Pirates 8 White Sox 5 White Sox 11 Pirates 0 The recently departed Troy Flood to the Pirates deal put a damper on the White Sox first game. Tension was in the air as the thought of Flood quitting to join the Sox's next opponent had us riled a bit. Pirate ace Eric Smith had a great game to boot keeping the White Sox bats off their mark only giving up 5 hits and striking out 9. Sox pitcher, Tom Spaniol pitched a good game striking out 8, but walked 5 and gave up 8 clean hits. The Pirate batters were finding holes everywhere in big Veterans Park. Troy Flood was personally responsible for 3 of the Pirate runs with his sure bat. Game two was clearly a tale of two different teams. White Sox pitcher, Patrick Cawthon pitched a dandy complete game shutout. Cawthon struck out 11 batters and gave up 3 meaningless hits and three walks issued by the umpire. The White Sox also took advantage of the Pirates lack of pitching depth and tore into their staff for 18 hits (Lopez 3-4, Taliaferro 2-3, Miller 3-3 (HR), S. Boudreaux 2-3, R. Foshe 4-4 w/4 RBI). The Pirate starter, Bruce might have been feeling the literal heat and was relieved after three innings by former White Sox, Troy Flood. Flood felt a little heat of his own despite a valiant effort giving up 6 straight hits including a towering home run by Andy Miller (who smartly used a metal bat this time). Flood started the 5th inning, but was relieved after a rope single by Robert Foshe and a hit batsman. Despite the record heat of roughly 105 degrees Fahrenheit, the White Sox committed no recorded defensive errors on the day. --Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox Brewers 12 Thunder 2 Thunder 5 Brewers 10 The Brewers defeated the Thunder in a lopsided battle. The first game ended in a 12-2 final with Rick Elliott pitching the complete game one hitter. At the plate the Brew Crew brought the sticks throughout the line-up racking up 17 hits. In game two of the double header Zak Clark took the hill for the Brewers against the Thunder's ace. The Thunder jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and lead 4-3 through four innings. In the bottom of the fifth the Brewers bats came alive and scored 7 runs. Matt Villines closed the game and battled on finding the strike zone. Although struggling the Brewers won the game 10-5 behind a solid batting display.--Matt Villines, Brewers Fayetteville Cubs 10 Arkansas Athletics 11 ROGERS - The Athletics
extended their current winning streak to three games, after another
come-from- behind victory Sunday afternoon at Veteran's Park (North).
A man short, the Cubs took to an early lead scoring eight runs through
the first four innings. However, the A's managed to rally and scored
10 runs during the final three innings. In the A's half of the sixth,
Justin McKisick (2-3, 2B, 3R, 2RBI) doubled, sending two runners
across the plate. Then, down 8-10 going into the bottom of the 7th,
the Athletics sent their sixth, seventh, and eighth batters to the
plate. With one out, Jason Benson (1-2, 2B, 2R) doubled and Dave
Freshwater (2-3, 2R, RBI) drove him in with a single. The A's
next two hitters reached, loading the bases. Next, David
Battaglia (4-4, 2B, 3B, 3R, RBI) drove in another run - tie game at 10
apiece. Greg Cuzick (2-3, 2B, 3RBI) delivered with the game winning
RBI on a line drive over the third baseman's head and into left.
The Cub's pitching staff made a strong start (Ledbetter - 5IP, 4ER,
7H, 7BB, 3K), but slowly faded during a relief appearance by
Dusty Johnson (2IP, 3ER, 7H, 2BB, 3K). Offensive highlights for the
Cubs included James (3-4, 2B, 3R), Brumley (2-4, R, 2RBI), and Beasley
(2-3, 2B, R, 4RBI). Braves 8 Black Sox 14 The Black Sox and Braves both played a good game but the Sox got the better of us. The Sox's defense wasn't the greatest in the world but neither was the Braves. Both teams had their fair share of errors. The Braves were in control through the first four innings with superb pitching. Our bats finally started getting hot after half way through the season, which hopefully carries over to next week. We started off good with Ronnie Ragsdale (1-4)starting a two out rally with a single and Tony Foshe (2-4) following by hitting an in the park home run showing off his incredible speed. In the second the Braves extended their lead scoring two more runs from hits by Bryan Foshe (2-4) and Johnny Sabatini (1-3). The Sox scored 1 in the second and 4 in the fifth to give them the lead. T.Foshe lead off the inning by hitting the ball to shallow right but the right fielder mishandled the ball and with great hustle Foshe made it to second without a throw. Foshe was followed up by Larry Caudle (2-4) hitting a single to help his own cause. The next two batters Zbow Sanders (0-3) walked and brother Brady Sanders (1-2) single scoring Caudle. The inning continued with Robert Smith (2-4) hitting a single and B. Foshe hitting a double. The Braves were down by one going into the last inning of play and the Braves inexperience in the latter innings due to being run ruled every game couldn't come through with a rally after the Sox scored 5 in the top of the seventh. Overall the Braves and the Sox both played a great game and it stinks that somebody had to lose.--Tony Foshe Arkansas Braves The Braves and Black Sox
met for the first time this season in an inter-league match up at
Veterans Park. The heat was nearly overbearing and claimed a victim
from the Cubs squad who played the Athletics prior to our game. The
individual collapsed from what appeared to be heat exhaustion and had
to be toted off in an ambulance (hopefully all is well). This delayed
the start of our game as several individuals and umps attended the
player while awaiting emergency personnel. When the game finally got
underway, the Black Sox came out of gate lethargic at best. The
Braves, on the other hand, were primed and obviously hungry for a
victory after starting the year 0 for 9. The Black Sox put on a clinic
in how to make errors and allowed frustrations to interfere with a
normally solid defense. The Braves took advantage of this situation
and a few hits in the gaps and bloopers over the infield added to the
errors put the Braves in the lead position. Pitcher Taos Jones threw a
complete game and aside no defensive backing the first few innings,
continued to get stronger as the game progressed, eventually silencing
the Braves bats in the latter innings. On the offensive side, the Sox
batters managed to either hit directly to defenders or high, lazy fly
balls due mainly to having a lot of trouble adjusting to the very slow
and unorthodox pitching from the Braves. In the final frame the Sox
finally found their groove in the batters box and padded their lead
ending in a final of 14 to 8.--Danny Dodge, Black Sox
July 22-23, 2006
White Sox 6 Brewers 5 White Sox 4 Black Sox 1 The weather, thankfully, took a turn towards the cool this weekend. Down from 104 to about 90. That was a dramatic difference. The Brewers have been the powerhouse team for 2006 and by all accounts, that moniker will stick with them through the end of the season. There was a little fate working against them, though, in the game with the White Sox. Sox pitcher, Phillip May was working a strong game through 5 innings only giving up four runs on a HBP, a walk and two home runs. The only two recorded hits given up by May were the home runs. Thankfully, one was a solo shot by Zak Clark and the other was a two-run shot by Chad Lipsmeyer. Holding the Brewers' powerful offense to five runs was a victory in itself. Reliever, Andy Crowson came in at the bottom of the 6th inning with the game tied at 4 and picked up the win holding the Brewers to only one additional run in three innings. Zak Clark for the Brewers had a no-hitter going into the 5th inning when Stephen Boudreaux roped a single to right field to break things up. Prodigal player, Patrick Taliaferro, made an appearance for the White Sox relieving departed Troy Flood to go two for two at the plate. Dustin Wilson went 2 for 4 with 3 RBI. Tom Spaniol continued his walk streak and made a head's up play scoring from third to send the game into extra innings. Wilson's double in the top of the 8th inning scored Taliaferro for the go ahead run. Crowson closed the door by rolling a grounder to Boudreaux, a strike out and a final pop up to Boudreaux to finish things. Special note on the defensive play of Brewer second baseman, Justin Seibenmorgan (?) who made 9 assists on the day with one spectacular play after another...a "web gem" diving catch and flip to short stop and throw to first for the out to end the second. For the White Sox, third baseman, John Michael Hairston, made some gem plays of his own to keep the Brewers in check. The Black Sox are really so close. They have offense and some solid pitching. Just a few minor adjustments and they could compete in this second half of the season. The White Sox were coming off an emotional high after the victory over the previously undefeated Brewers. Although the White Sox were hitting the ball, they were rolling right at the defense. Patrick Taliaferro was making the most of his appearance by getting the first base hit for the White Sox in the 4th to unknot the scoreless game on Dustin Wilson's single. Matt Boudreaux went 2 for 3 with an RBI to help insure a 3-run lead. Eugene Burton also went 2 for 3 with a stolen base. Pitcher, Patrick Cawthon, started off behind on nearly every batter through the first few innings, but eventually settled down. Cawthon pitched a complete game victory only giving up 5 hits in 7 innings striking out 13 Black Sox batters including the side to end the game.--Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox

Brewers 6 Black Sox 0 Black Sox 4 Brewers 16 The Brewers swept the series against the Black Sox. In game 1 Zak Clark threw a complete game two hitter. The game did not involve a lot of offense and the final score was 6-0. In game two of the double header, The Brewers bats came alive when they tallied four home runs on the game. The Brewers used 3 different pitcher in the 5 inning game that ended with the score of 16-4.--Matt Villines, Brewers White Sox 8 Diamond Dawgs 3 Orioles 8 White Sox 4 Man...it was hot. We figured it was about 105 degrees on the field as the bank sign down the street showed 98 in the shade. Last year's league champs, the Diamond Dawgs, have been struggling to get on track this season. They have begun to find their niche now with some new leadership and are hitting stride. White Sox pitcher Phillip May was on his game, though, through 5 innings throwing a 3-hit shutout with 9 K's before having to leave with muscle cramp in the groin. Reliever Tom Spaniol gave up three runs in the 5th before settling down to earn the save. The Sox have still yet to find their offense as they did their damage in the first inning and then went quiet for the balance of the game. In the game versus the Orioles, the one-hour layoff in the heat was probably worse than just starting after the conclusion of the first game. The Sox were soaking in their own sweat. Pitcher, Pat Cawthon threw a good game and was victimized by errors and suspicious officiating. The Sox gave up a 4-1 lead going into the bottom of the third on some questionable calls by the plate umpire and a few errors in judgment by Sox infielders. Down 8-4, the Sox were looking to get back in the game, but darkness overcame the field and it was called after the top of the 4th inning when the lights failed to come on. --Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox
CUBS 10 BLACKSOX 2 The Arkansas Athletics and
Fayetteville Cubs played a double-header at White River Baseball
Complex on what must have been the hottest day of the year, so far.
Although a moderate breeze kept those in the shade somewhat cooler,
temperatures rose into the triple-digit range scorching the players on
the field. Offensive highlights for the Cubs included Kastl (2-2, 2R, HR, 4RBI), Sprick (3-3, 2R), and Brumley (2-3, 2 2B, R, RBI). Game Two (Cubs 9, Athletics 4) - To the dismay of many, the second game went the full 7-innings. The A's held the lead briefly as they scored two runs in the bottom of the 1st, but the Cubs bounced back in the 2nd adding three to the run they scored in their first at-bat. The Athletics rallied in the bottom of the 5th on a one-out walk followed by Battaglia's (3-3, 2B, 2R) double. After another walk loaded the bases, an Adam Pocius (3-4, R, 2RBI) single drove in two runs. But it was far too little too late as the Cubs five run lead remained intact for the remainder of the game. Offensive highlights for
the Cubs included James (2-3, 2B, 2R), Sprick (2-3, R, HR, 3RBI), and
Roberts (1-2, 2B, 2RBI). --Derick Akers, Arkansas Athletics
July 8-9, 2006
Brewers 8 Thunder 6 The game between the Brewers and Thunder was intense. The Thunder got an early lead and was in cruise control until the sixth inning when an unnecessary collision at first base got both teams riled up. The Brewers bats started rolling in the top of the seventh inning which led to 5 runs to take an 8-6 final. The game was intense and hard fought. The Thunder starting pitcher pitched a solid game through five inning. Brewers pitching staff could not find the zone.--Matt Villines, Brewers White Sox 16 Braves 0 Braves PP White Sox PP no report Old Style 22 Volcanoes 9 The Old Style finally put a mark in the win column this weekend versus the Volcanoes. Hitting was our strong point as contact was made throughout the lineup. A solid pitching performance by Ron Keen was also key. --Jeff Kennett, Old Style Fayetteville Cubs 10 Rangers 0 Rangers PP Fayetteville Cubs PP Yesterdays game was a wild one where all kinds of strange things happened. In five innings the Fayetteville Cubs had a player steal home and turned a triple play. The ball just bounced the Cubs way. Justin Ledbetter again led the Cubs to victory with his pitching and his bat. Ledbetter pitched 5 strong innings of one hit ball, while allowing three walks and striking out four. He also went 3-3 at the plate and drove in a run. Josh Brumley hit a wind blown three-run dinger that ended the game. Blake Kastl also went 3-3 and Jamie Thornton went 1-2 with a couple RBI's. The short handed Rangers put up a valiant effort behind their pitcher. Rain washed out the possibility for a second game between these two teams, hopefully a make up game will be re-scheduled soon.--Jamie Thornton, Fayetteville Cubs

Braves 0 Athletics 13 BENTONVILLE - The Athletics and Braves faced off for a mid-week game on a gorgeous summer evening at Phillips Park. The A's scored runs early and often against a Braves squad suffering from cold bats and inferior pitching. The A's scored two in the 1st, three in the 2nd, and eight in the 4th - for a total of 13 runs on 12 hits - in the game called after the 5th inning, courtesy of the 10-run rule. During the contest, the Braves only managed to produce two hits off of the pitching tandem of Aaron Gisler (3IP, 2H, 2BB + HBP, 5K) and Derick Akers (2IP, BB, K). Offensive highlights for the A's included: Chris Davis (2-3, HR, 4RBI), Craig Marsh (2-2, 2B, 2R, 4RBI), David Battaglia (1-2, 3B, 2R, 3RBI), and Adam Pocias (1-2, 2B, R, 2RBI). Next up for the Athletics (2-2) is a trip to Sallisaw, Oklahoma to play a double-header against the Fort Smith Orioles in a divisional match-up, while the Braves (0-6) meet the Lowell White Sox @ White River Baseball Complex for a double-header in Fayetteville on July 9th beginning @ 1pm.--Derick Akers, Athletics Fayetteville Cubs 7 White Sox 1 The White Sox are starting off slumping for certain. Andy Crowson pitched a fine game only giving up 3 hits and 1 ER. The problem came defensively with the White Sox committing 11 errors in the field. The Cub defense was nothing short of flawless on the contrary which generally equates to a victory. With the score at 3-1 going into the 6th inning, Crowson pulled himself due to back spasms to be relieved by veteran Troy Flood. With the White Sox offense sputtering...what the heck. Pitch an almost 50-year-old guy against the young Cubs. Flood gave up four meaningless runs to sum up the score. But it was the errors all around that did the Sox in buttressed by only 5 hits. White Sox batters only struck out 3 times in the game, but it seemed like every ball hit found a Cub mitt. That's baseball.--Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox

Athletics 11 Black Sox 8 FAYETTEVILLE - On a surprisingly pleasant June afternoon in northwest Arkansas, the A's and Black Sox squared off Saturday at Industrial Park. The Black Sox - in the first of eight lead changes - began the day with a run in the bottom of the first. The A's answered with a run of their own, knotting the game at 1- 1 through the end of three. That quickly changed though, when the A's scored two in the top of the fourth. The two teams proceeded to play "hot potato" with the lead until the Black Sox finally surged ahead by scoring five unearned runs off of A's hurler Craig Marsh. A lead-off walk followed by John Stewart's second double of the day, gave the A's runners at second and third with no one out in the top of the last (7th) inning. The next batter flied out to left-center field and should have produced a run, however Derick Akers (0-0 BB; IP, 0H, Sv) committed an untimely base running error and was tagged out at the plate on an outfield assisted double play. Trailing 8-6 and down to their final out, the A's rallied as three consecutive batters reached base. Then with the bases loaded, Adam Pocias drove in the three base runners with an opposite field double that ricocheted off the fence. Pitching in relief of a superb start by Marty Harrison, Marsh was credited with the win after working the fifth and sixth innings. The Black Sox reliever Goswick (3IP, 6ER, 8H, 4BB + HBP) collected the loss after surrendering five earned runs in the seventh inning. A's Highlights: CMarsh (3-3, 3B, 2R, SAC, 1RBI; 2IP, 5R, 0ER, 4H, 2BB, 3K), APocias (2-3, 2B, 2R, 4RBI), JStewart (2-2, 2 2B, 3R), MHarrison (2-3, R, 2RBI; 4IP, 3R, 0ER, 3H, 3BB, 7K). Black Sox Highlights:
SDawson (2-4, 2R), JDupry (1-4, 2B, 2RBI), TJones (0-1, K; 4IP, 2ER,
6H, 2BB, 4K).
Old Style 8 Tigers 18 Lost another ball game today. 18-8. Still had a good time. 3-4 and no errors... couple RBI's. Errors are still killing our team though. We held it close for 6 innings and then *bam*... --Mike Blakeman, Old Style (excerpt from Hogville.net) Pirates 10 Rangers 13 On a windy Sunday in Siloam Springs, the Rangers played host to the Pirates. A late arrival by Rangers starter Thomas Cole started the Rangers off on the wrong foot. Getting only a few minutes to warm up he had some troubles the first few innings and the Pirates took advantage going up 6-0. The Rangers bats didn't get started until the 4th inning when Rangers Short Stop Brian Frazier hit a two run shot to left center over the double wall. That same inning the Rangers batted around and took the lead going up by one. The fifth inning was a flip flop, when the Rangers again had to come back in the bottom half. Relief pitcher Daniel Minton came in and did a great job finishing the game with his first appearance of the year. The Pirates just couldn't catch back up in the late innings and lost 13-10. The game was played with great intensity by both sides partly due to some questionable calls by. Patrick Harris of the Rangers said "Man, this team has a lot of heart. I thought we weren't going to come back. Holy cow, if we keep this up I'm going to have heart problems."--Brian Frazier, Rangers FSC 1 Brewers 9 Brewers 10 Diamond Dawgs 2 In game one against Fort Smith Christian the Brewers got up early scoring four in the first inning. Rick Elliott pitched the complete game on giving up 1 run on the day. Fort Smith did not help themselves out by booting a few balls early that led to a pair of runs for the Brewers. Offensively Kyle Jones and Wayne Hrozek were stroking the ball. The game ended in a 9-1 final. In game two against the Diamond Dawgs the Brewers starter Zak Clark took the mound and pitched 5 innings only giving up 2 runs. Although the Dawgs grabbed an early 1-0 lead, the Brewers found the sticks and won the game with the final score of 10-2. John Davis had some good plays defensively to keep the ball game out of reach--Matt Villines, Brewers Fayetteville Cubs 6

Fayetteville Cubs 4 Game 2 This game was a
heated battle in which FSC barley escaped with a victory over the
Cubs. FSC was lead by their awesome pitching between Jarred Souza and
Jeremy Mason. Mason and Aaron Jones led FSC with the bats, the Cubs
were unable to retire Mason all day even though he didn't get a hit.
Jones proved to be the difference with his double in the 4th inning
that knocking in the eventual game tying run then coming around to
score the game winning run. Austin Mitchell pitched in relief
for the Cubs, and threw 3 scoreless innings. Mason came in and shut
the Cubs down to finish the game.--Jamie Thornton, Fayetteville
Cubs Black Sox 10 Pirates 20 Recap of Saturday's games:
first game, The Pirates played with vigor and conviction along with
the never say die attitude they have come to be known for. With a last
minute addition the Pirates were able to field eight players players
the first game. Fortune smiled on the Pirates because, eight players
is all that it would take to beat down the mighty Black Sox. Pirates
12 Black Sox 10 White Sox 4 Tahlequah Thunder 5 Tahlequah Thunder 4 White Sox 1 It what could have been a rain-soaked Father's Day, the White Sox traveled to Tahlequah to face the formidable Thunder on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Crafty lefty, Andy Crowson, took the hill for the Sox in game one and found himself getting squeezed out by the home plate umpire's microscopic strike zone. Andy pitched a great game giving up 5 runs on 9 hits scattered throughout seven. The Thunder have a great hitting squad and managed to take advantage of second chances by either White Sox errors or the umpire's failure to call strikes when evident. Not much has been seen of the White Sox normally hot bats thus far this season, but Andy Miller hit a towering home run in the 4th. It was not much to bear as the Sox left runners on base most of the day. In game two, the strike
zone managed to shrink even more for White Sox hurler, Tom Spaniol.
The game was decided in inning one, however, when a non-called strike
three led to another pitch and base hit by the Thunder lead-off
hitter. Normally sure-handed shortstop, Lyndall Bolinger had one
squibble through the wickets to put two on. Then Thunder hitter
Parker cranks a home run to start the game 3-0 in favor of the
Thunder. They tacked on one more run and the Sox were left
apathetic at the plate. Robert Foshe went 2-3 in the game with a
double, but never had a man on to advance. Tom Spaniol pitched a
great game as well, but had no offensive support. Aside from the
aforementioned, Tom only surrendered four scattered hits.--Stephen
Boudreaux, White Sox
Brewers 16 Braves 0 Braves 1 Brewers 19 The Brewers took control of both games in the double header early and had no problem keeping it. The Brewers hit three home runs to make the final score in the first game 16-0 and 19-1 in the second game. Micheal Adkins led the Brewers going 6-6 on the day.--Matt Villines, Brewers Bad week-end for the Braves. Played double header in 3 hours against the Brewers, with scores of 16-0 and 19-1 consecutively. Braves couldn't get their bats going against the superb pitching from the Brewers. --Tony Foshe, Braves Dodgers 15 Old Style 5 The Dodgers pulled off a
15-5 victory this weekend over the Old Style team. Rich Conner pitched
the first four innings, striking out 7, and hit his second home run in
as many games to help his cause. Gary Davis came in relief, pitching
the last 4 innings of this run rule shortened game, and helped himself
by hitting a home run as well. Davis earned the win in relief. Don
Prim stepped up and stretched a triple into to a double, knocking a
one hopper off the fence in the second inning with the bases loaded.

Dodgers 13 Tigers 5 The Dodgers used 5 different pitchers and collected 15 hits in route to a 13 - 5 victory over the Tigers in Siloam Springs on Sunday. Rich Conner hit his first home run of the season, and Charles Fowler doubled for the Dodgers. Mark Jackson also hit into his first two double plays of the season for the Dodgers to keep the game close and give Conner a chance to pitch the 8th and 9th innings. Good news is, he hit the ball hard...bad news, he hit it at someone...Everyone in the Dodger lineup had a hit, including Jackson who singled his first time up.--Eric Exner, Dodgers Fayetteville Cubs 12 Alma Diamond Dawgs 8 Fayetteville Cubs 6 Alma Diamond Dawgs 3 The Volcanoes met up with the Old Style this Saturday at Veterens Park in Rogers for hot day of baseball. The first 6 innings were neck and neck as both teams were able to put the bat on the ball fairly well. Around the seventh inning the Old Style's age and short roster of 10 began to catch up with them. The Volcanoes wer eputting the ball in play and the Old Style couldn't find the outs. The Volcanoes out 11 or so runs on the board in the last two innings to provide the ending margin of 21-10. Player of the game for the Old Style would have to be Mike Surane. Surane led off and went 5-5 at the plate. He also pitched a few innings and while he did give up a few walks and runs he also recorded a few K's. Overall a good day for Mike Surane. --Jeff Kennett, Old Style Black Sox 2 White Sox 6 The White Sox had the first weekend bye and I thought things might be a little rusty. A little rusty at the plate and a little rusty defensively to start. If not for the superb pitching by White Sox rookie, Phillip May, things might have been awkward. May pitched four innings of 2-hit shutout ball with 7 strikeouts against what appears to be a strong-hitting Black Sox team. May bowed out before the 5th to nurse a sore toe and gave way for league veteran and perennial journeyman, Andy Crowson, to come in for relief. Crowson allowed 2 runs but struck out three including the side to finish the game off in the sixth. The game was overcome by darkness as the White River Park lights failed to ignite. Offensively for the White Sox...Troy Flood got things started by hitting the first pitch of the White Sox season out of the park. Old returning vet, Issac Harderson had a hit as did Eugene Burton who also kept the Black Sox off the base paths with three range-covering catches in center. Newcomer, Patrick Cawthon, went 1-2 with an RBI. Despite some mental lapses, it looks as if the White Sox will continue their scrappy ways in 2006.--Stephen Boudreaux, White Sox Fayetteville Brewers 14 Pirates 2 Pirates 0 Fayetteville Brewers 16 The Brewers made easy and quick work of the Pirates Sunday in Fayetteville. Although the talking between the two teams was even, the game was not. The Brewers won the first game 14-2 with Chad Coldiron as the started and Rick Elliott closing the game. Coldiron put a few on base by walks that turned into runs for the Pirates. However, that was the only runs scored by the Pirates and it clearly wasn't enough. In game two of the double header Matt Villines took the hill and pitched the complete game giving up no runs. The bats for the Brewers were too much for the pirates on Sunday as they scored 16 runs to take the game 16-0.--Matt Villines, Brewers Orioles 6 Rangers 4 Rangers 5 Orioles 6 It was a hot Sunday in the
River Valley, where the Rangers took on the Orioles. Strong pitching
by both sides was overlooked by timely hits by both sides. The
Orioles went into the bottom of the 7th of the first game down 4-3 and
rallied back with one run to tie then a two run walk off shot.
In the second game it was the Rangers turn for a comeback but it didnt
last long, the Orioles bats were too much down the stretch. First
game results 6-4 Orioles, Second game 6-5 Orioles.--Brian Frazier,
Rangers no report SILOAM SPRINGS - In a game
that lasted a mere two hours, the A's suffered a disappointing loss
Saturday night at Butt's Field. The Fort Smith Christian Cardinals,
which relied primarily on the contributions of only two players, won
the contest 2-1 in extra innings. Tensions ran high in the
bottom of the 3rd inning when Ryan King (1B) of FSC charged the mound
after being plunked in the shoulder. The at-bat, immediately following
a HR, included two inside-fastballs of which the latter briefly
cleared the benches until the umpires could regain control of the
ballgame. Warnings were issued to both teams and play promptly
resumed. The A's responded the next inning with a lead-off walk
followed by a Craig Marsh double, placing runners at 2nd and 3rd with
no outs. However, the rally was short lived as the runner at 3rd was
retired by a fielder's choice and Marsh was picked off 2nd courtesy of
a highly questionable call. Despite their base running woes, the A's
stranded two additional runners in the inning and missed what
turned out to be a crucial scoring opportunity. The A's did manage to
score a run the next inning (top 5th), on a Kevin Kirby RBI, to tie
the game at 1-1. The teams remained tied at 1-1, as the game moved
into extra innings. In the top of the 8th inning, the A's were able to
get one man aboard on a throwing error by the FSC shortstop, Jeremy
Mason. Unfortunately, the runner was stranded at first as the next
batter's line drive was quickly snared by the FSC pitcher, Jared
Souza. FSC answered in the bottom of the inning with a base hit that
squeaked into right field, with one man out. The runner stole second
and advanced to third base on a throwing error by the A's third
baseman. The game winning RBI for FSC was driven in by another base
hit to right field. FSC highlights included -
Batting: Mason 2-4, 2R, 1HR, 1RBI; Jared Souza (P) 1-4, 1RBI, 2K.
Pitching: Jared Souza 8.0IP, 0ER, 4H, 5BB, 9K.

Brewers 9 Athletics 6 FAYETTEVILLE - The first game of the season for both squads started slowly, under cloudy skies and breezy conditions on a rain dampened field in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Brewers quickly took the lead though, and did not relinquished it for their first win of the season beating the A's 9-6. The Brewers scoring outburst began when Adkins hit a lead-off HR in the top of the 3rd inning. The outburst continued as the next 5 batters came across to score - thanks in part to multiple fielding errors committed by the A's defense. The Brewers added two more runs the next inning when Adkins and J.D. each lofted solo HRs into the gusting winds on a pleasant afternoon at the White River Baseball Complex. The A's pitching staff struggled over the course of the 7 inning contest allowing 9 runs (6ER) on 10 hits with 4 walks plus 3 hit batsmen, while striking out 11 batters. The A's rallied in the bottom of the 5th inning by scoring two runs on a Craig Marsh single, and added an additional run on a fielding error made by the Brewers right fielder. The A's tried to close the gap with another surge of three runs in the bottom of the 7th, but the effort proved to be too little, too late as the Brewers closed out the game for the victory. The Brewers pitching staff collectively allowed 6 runs (2ER) on 3 hits, 5 walks, and 15 strikeouts. Brewers offensive highlights included - Matt Villines 2-4, R, 2RBI; Michael Adkins 2-3, 2HR, 2RBI; J.D. 1-3, 2R, HR, 1RBI. The A's offensive highlights included - Craig Marsh 1-3, 2R, 2RBI; Greg Cuzick 0-2, 2R, BB, K; Marty Harrison 0-2, 2R, BB, K. The A's (0-1) next game will be played Saturday, June 10th @ 7:00pm versus the Fort Smith Christian Cardinals at Butt's Field in Siloam Springs, while the Fayetteville Brewers (1-0) square off with the Pirates in a double-header at the White River Baseball Complex in Fayetteville on June 11th @ 1:00pm--Derick Akers, Athletics Rangers 6 Cubs 4 In the season opener the
visiting Rangers took on the Cubs. The injury plagued rangers
struggled against the strong arm of Kastl who shut out the Rangers out
for 3 innings. Rangers Pitcher Thomas Cole was familiar with most of
the Cubs line up being from FHS himself and was able to put on a
clinic throwing a complete game and shutting out the cubs the last 4
innings. The Rangers were down 4-3 going into the 7th when Cole helped
himself out by starting a two out rally in the top of the 7th followed
by a Joseph Nuckols single down the line. Jordon Ligon and Mitch McCoy
followed up with a single and a double knocking in the go ahead runs
and giving the rangers a cushion going into the bottom of the 7th
where the Tigers 11 Old Style 5 The Tigers got us 11 to 5.
The Tigers scored the majority of their runs in the 3rd and 4th
innings. The Pirates 7 Braves 2 The Braves didn't start the season too great. The Braves pitching didn't do very well giving up 7 runs and 7 hits. The Pirates had a great pitcher Eric (16 K's) that made us look like fools. The Braves finally got a run when Tony Foshe (3-3) scored on an error while trying to steal third. The Pirates never didn't hit the ball because the Braves allowed 8 walks. The Braves and Pirates both played good defense. Braves Clay Garrison (1-3) threw two players out at home--Tony Foshe, Braves
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E Pirates 0 Orioles 11 Dodgers 18 Volcanoes 4 The Dodgers scored 18 runs on 20 hits to beat the Volcanoes 18-4 Saturday night. Matt McBeth went 4-4, and scored 3 runs, while Troy Steiner, and Zacc Arnold each went 3-3 with a walk apiece. Sam Chae pitched one inning, allowing one run, getting the win. He atoned for allowing the run by hitting a monster two run home run in the Dodgers 8 run 4th inning. Rich Connor closed out the game for the Dodgers, striking out all three batters he faced in the seventh inning of this run rule shortened game.--Eric Exner, Dodgers FSC 15 Braves 0 The Braves lost to Ft. Smith Christian 15-0. The Braves never got anything going. FSC got started right out of the gate and blew us away. The Braves fielders could not hit the cutoff and couldn't throw the ball anywhere close to another player. FSC was hitting the ball great and they stole quite a few bases because of our inexperience in the field. Many of our players complained about the umpires but it wasn't the umps fault. There was only one play the ump got wrong. Overall the field was great, the umps were good.--Tony Foshe, Braves Jeremy Mason pitched a
complete-game 1-hitter to lead the FSC Eagles to a shutout in the
season opener on Sunday in Alma. Mason, a former UA-Fort Smith
and University of Central Arkansas pitcher, dominated the Braves,
allowing only a fifth inning single. The Eagles, comprised
mostly of former Fort Smith Christian High players, pounded 16 hits,
led by Jake Souza, Josh Souza, Ryan King and Mason. Hunter Park also
had a hit and scored three runs for the Eagles, who ended the game via
the mercy rule in the fifth inning. --Chip Souza, FSC Eagles (Beat
Writer) Jared Souza admittedly didn't have his best stuff, but it was enough to lead the FSC Eagles to a win over the defending league champion Alma Diamond Dogs. Souza, a left-hander and a June 2005 30th round draft selection of the New York Yankees, gave up two runs in the first inning on a passed ball and an error, but didn't allow another run until the fifth to pick up the win. Jeremy Mason and Bryan Wheeler led the Eagles at the plate along with Jake Souza and Matt Przybysz. Jared Souza helped his cause with an RBI single in the sixth. --Chip Souza, FSC Eagles (Beat Writer) Black Sox 3 Thunder 5 Thunder 6 Black Sox 7 The Arkansas Black Sox
traveled to Tahlequah on Sunday to take on the Thunder in a late
afternoon double header. Both games took place at the Sequoyah High
School field which is definitely a hitters park at 320 down the lines
and 350 in straight away centerfield. In the first game, the Thunder
stayed focused through 5 innings behind solid pitching while hanging
an insurmountable 5 runs on the Sox. The Black Sox struggled to mount
any offense until the top of the 6th when we started a two-out rally
scoring 3 runs with aggressive base running which rattled Tahlequah
before changing sides. The Sox attempted to continue the comeback in
the 7th but the Thunder composed themselves enough to hold onto the
lead. The Black Sox solid and sly defense, led by Dallas Goswick (7
IP) on the hill, kept the Thunder from running up the score using a
little old school trickery and single-handed double plays from Josh
Dupuy (2B), Danny Dodge (CF), and Goswick (P).
