W: D. Rondon (1-0, 0.00); L: N. Czyz (0-1, 18.00); SV: S. Blevins (1)
HR: ELI: E. Bigley (1).

The Elizabethton Twins took early lead, held off a mid-game rally and went on to defeat the Pulaski Mariners, 7-4 in game one of the best-of-five Appalachian League Championship series.

Reliever Danny Rondon would claim the win for the E-Twins, while Steve Blevins, a 2008 promotion to the E-Twins from the GCL, handled the save.

With two outs on the board in the first inning, Jon Waltenbury would take a walk. Evan Bigley would then double him in to put the Twins on the board.

They extended their lead in the top of the second with Angel Morales singling his way onto base. Jeff Lanning would fly out, but James Beresford knocked a ground ball single to left and Dominic De La Osa took a walk to load the bags. Nick Romero then hit a ground rule double to center to plate Morales and Beresford. Waltenbury sacrificing in De La Osa to give the Twins a 4-0 lead.

Brad Tippett left the game after only two outs in the first with an injured elbow, with Curtis Leavitt replacing him on he mound. The California hurler found trouble in the bottom of the fourth, allowing back-to-back doubles to Kris Sanchez and Jose Rivero, getting the Mariners on the board. Guy Welsh took a walk. A sac-bunt by George Soto advanced the runners, and a ground out by Jacob Shaffer plated Rivero to cut the Twins lead in half.

Waltenbury singled in the top of the 5th, and Bigley reached on a force attempt in which Soto at second misplayed the ball. Mike Harrington then doubled to drive in Walt for an insurance run.

They'd need it, as Gabriel Noriega walked to start the the bottom of the fifth. Mario Martinez singled, which prompted Ray Smith to call for a pitching change getting Leavitt off the hill and putting Rondon in. The GCL Twins ace closer from 2007 would allow a double to Juan Fuentes which scored Noriega and Martinez, making it 5-4 Twins. He'd get Kris Sanchez to fly out however and Rivero and Welsh to strike out, ending the inning.

Lanning would get plunked by a pitch, with Baby Bearcat singling him to second. De La Osa would also get plunked, loading the bags. Romero would sacrifice in Lanning, but Waltenbury would pop out and Bigley line out, retiring the side.

Leavitt would get charged with 4 runs on four hits and a pair of walks while striking out 4 over 3.1 innings. Rondon would give up 2 hits and fan 3 over the next 2 innings with Jarred Eacott coming in for the seventh and eighth, allowing one walk and fanning three.

Bigley would homer in the top of the 9th, a solo shot, for the Twins 7th run of the night. Blevins would strike out Noriega and Martinez in the bottom half of the final set, with Fuentes claiming a single. Sanchez hit into a force out however, ending the contest.

Beresford was 2-for-4 with a run, and Bigley, the game's yard bird, was 2-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBIs. Walt finished up 1-for-3 with a pair of runs and 1 RBI. Lanning was also 1-for-3 with a run.

Romero, Harrington, and Morales were all 1-for-4, Romero with a double and 3 RBIs, Harrington with a double and a run scored, and Morales with a run.

The two teams rematch tonight at Joe O'Brien Stadium for game two of the series. The first pitch is due out at 7:00 P.M.

DSL Mariners 1 at DSL Twins 0

W: F. Bautista (1-0, 0.00); L: E. Santana (0-1, 3.00); SV: H. Perez (1)
HR: None.

The DSL Mariners blanked the DSL Twins at Baseball City Thursday, ending the Twins bid for a DSL Championship.

Victor Ozuna took a triple off reliever Eddy Santana and scored on a missed catch by Manuel Soliman at 3rd base.

The D-Twins actually out hit the Mariners, but could not convert on their chances. Yorby Martinez would double in the bottom of the fifth, and after Soliman went down on strikes, try to go home on a Wilfy Gil single to left. He was taken out at the plate however, as Angel Zapata riffled the ball in to Mariners' catcher Hassiel Jimenez, who got the tag on Martinez.

Danny Santana would single in the bottom of the sixth, then steal 2nd. He'd get caught trying to take 3rd however.

Six different Twins had hits, with Carlos Vasquez, Martinez and Gil going 1-for-3 at the plate; Vasquez with a walk, and Martinez with a double. Santana, Jean Carlos Mercedes and Jairo Rodriguez finished up 1-for-4, all one-hit wonders.

Jhonatan Arias is already schedule to make an appearance State-side at Fall Instructional League, but it will certainly be interesting to see which of this talented group of young men will join the 2009 GCL Squad.

The DSL Angels will face the DSL Nationals1 in the Semi-final round, while the DSL Mariners take on the DSL Giants. Thanks to the DSL Twins for all their hard work this season, and a big thanks ti Director of Latin American Operations Jose Marzan for answering countless questions as we explored the Latin American Leagues in depth for the first time, here at Rookie Whites.

Thanks also to everyone who has stopped in to see how our Twins farm system was fairing. I hope I have not failed you too badly despite the hardware problems that have plagued me this summer.

While the regular seasons winding down for our twins prospects, we will continue to follow our boys through Arizona Fall League, Fall Instructional League and of course, Venezuelan Winter League.

Friday: E-Twins split with Astros

Elizabethton 4 at Greeneville 3

W: C. Leavitt (5-1, 4.05); L: C. Pitkin (2-2, 4.18); SV: M. Hamburger (6)
HR: None.

The Elizabethton Twins would come out on top during the resumption of Thursday's game which had been suspended by rain. Adan Severino and James Beresford lead the attack against the Greeneville Astros.

Brad Tippett would work just 2 innings before the game was halted. When it resumed, Curtis Leavitt took over the mound, and went on to work the next 5.2 innings. Greeneville would get on the board first, in the bottom of the fifth.

Pedro Gonzalez singled and Jose Altuve reached on a fielding error by Beresford. Ricardo Bonfante moved the pair on a sac-bunt. A second fielding error, this one by Dominic De La Osa, allowed Wilton Infante to reach and Gonzalez to score. Jay Austin would ground into a force out that scored Altuve, leading to a pair of unearned runs for the Astros.

Adan Severino doubled in the top of the sixth and Angel Morales took a walk. James Beresford's single advanced Severino to 3rd, and he'd score on De La Osa's ground out to first.

Jordan Lyles had started for the Astros and was replaced in the top of the fourth by Zach Grimmett following the suspension. After giving up the run in the sixth Grimmett would be replaces by Greeneville's Colton Pitkin in the top of the 7th. Michael Harrinton singled and moved to 2nd on Jeff Lanning's ground out. Following a fly out to Danny Rams, Severino and Morales both drew walks. Beresford would then triple the runners in to give the E-Twins a 4-2 lead.

After a brief stint on the mound by Steve Blevins, Mark Hamburger would come in to close out the game for the E-Twins. He'd get Kody Hines and Ebert Rosario to ground out before allowing a single to Gonzalez. Chris Turner would come into the game as a pinch runner for Gonzalez and move to 2nd on Altuve's single. Bonfante's line drive brought in Turner, but Wilton Infalte would fly out, ending the contest.

Severino would go 2-for-3 at the plate with a double and a pair of runs, while Beresford was 2-for-4 with a triple and 3 RBIs. Harrington had one run on a 1-for-4 showing at the plate, while Morales chipped a run on 2 walks as he finished up 0-for-2.

Elizabethton 0 at Greeneville 7

W: J. Trinidad (3-2, 2.65); L: A. Curry (0-1, 9.00)
HR: GRE: D. Montas (2).

The Elizabethton Twins would find themselves blanked in the night cap however, to split the road series with the Astros, 2 games to 1.

Alex Curry would hit Carlos Mojica with a pitch in the bottom of the 3rd, and then walk Jorge De Leon. A wild pitch then advanced the pair. After Chris Turner struck out swinging, Renzo Tello would reach on James Beresford's throwing error, which also allowed Mojica and De Leon to score. Ebert Rosario would walk and Kody Hinze ground out advanced the pair of runners before Nathan Metroka ground out to end the inning.

Dionel Montas took a solo shot home run off Curry in the bottom of the 4th, and Albert Cartwright and Mojica both singled. A line drive by De Leon saw Cartwright cross the plate, while Turner's ground ball single plated Mojica. Thom Wright would come in to replace Curry, who would exit after allowing 7 runs, six earned, on 7 hits and pair of walks while fanning 2.

Wright would allow a single to Tello that advanced the pair of runners still left on base. Wright would go for a pick off on Tello, but a missed catch by Waltenbury allowed De Leon to score. Ebert Rosario would ground out, but Hinze walked to load the bags. Metroka's ground out scored Turner before Dionel Montas went down on strikes, to let the Twins have a turn at the plate.

Severino, Waltenbury, Alex Soto and Nat Hanson were all 1-for-3, Hansen with a double, while Rams would go 1-for-2 with a walk and a double.

The Twins now face the Kingsport Mets for a three game set starting Saturday at 7:05 PM.

Snappers blanked, DSL Twins blank Yankees2

Beloit 0 at South Bend 3

W: J. Collmenter (11-5, 2.99); L: D. Bromberg (6-7, 4.51); SV: D. Stange (1)
HR: SOU: C. Wheeless (6).

Much like the Fort Myers Miracle, the Beloit Snappers lost their third straight, suffering a shut out at the hands of the South Bend Silverhawks.

Both teams would record five hits, but the difference was in the fielding for the Snappers as Beloit starter David Bromberg was changed with 2 runs, neither earned, on four hits and a pair of walks while striking out six.

The first four inning were a scoreless affair with both teams playing well. After taking Jimmy Principe and Matthew Oxendine out on strikes in the bottom of the fifth, Bromberg hit Joseph Batten with a pitch. Batten then stole second base and Collin Cowgill took a walk. A fielding error by Jeanfred Brito then allowed Taylor Harbin to reach and Batten to score.

Despite a single to Juan Richardson, a sac bunt by Mark Dolenc and a walk to Greg Yersich, the Snappers could not turn a run in the top of the 7th.

The bottom of the stanza would see Matthew Oxendine and Batten hit back-to-back singled. Batten would hit out to Mark Dolenc who over threw the ball back in from right, resulting in Oxendine crossing the plate for the second South Bend tally.

A pitching change, with Daniel Stange replacing Josh Collmenter for South Bend did nothing to improve the Snappers chances. Mike Allen would take over for Bromberg however, and the hard throwing Floridian would give up a home run to Chance Wheeless, with the ball clearing the right field wall.

Ben Revere was 1-for-4 with a double for the Snappers while Richardson, Yangervis Solarte, Andrew Schmiesing and Estarlin De Los Santos all having singles for Beloit.

Game two of the three game series is Thursday at 7:00 PM at Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium.

Snappers
Silverhawks

From MiLB.com:

THE SEASON SO FAR: The Snappers are 17-11 in the second half and in second place in the Western Division.

WHO'S HOT: OF Mark Dolenc is batting .429 (15-for-35) with a home run, six RBIs and 14 runs scored over his last 10 games. In 77 games this season he's hitting .271 (62-for-229) with seven doubles, two triples, two home runs and 28 RBIs.

WHO'S NOT: C Allan de San Miguel is batting just .095 (2-for-21) over his last seven games to lower his season average to .237 (14-for-59) with 17 strikeouts in 20 games.

ROSTER MOVES: IF Deibinson Romero was placed on the disabled list Saturday with a fractured right leg injured while falling into the home dugout during Friday's game. To fill his spot on the roster, IF Juan Richardson joined the team from the Elizabethton Twins, where he batted .250 with three doubles and 10 RBIs in 15 games.

DID YOU KNOW: Romero is making his second disabled list stint this season after hitting .264 with three home runs and 18 RBIs in 39 games. He was coming off a left knee injury that had sidelined him from April 28 to June 18. Signed by the Twins as a non-drafted free agent in July 2004, Romero was key in the Snappers' 2007 playoff run. He was promoted to Beloit from Elizabethton last September, a week before the Snappers began the postseason, and helped lead the squad to the Midwest League Finals where they would eventually fall to the West Michigan Whitecaps.

Greenville 7 at Elizabethton 2

W: K. Greenwalt (5-1, 3.16); L: B. Lanigan (2-3, 3.38)
HR: GRE: F. Almonte (4), J. Altuve (2).

The skid continues for the Elizabethton Twins, now up to 4-games, as Bobby Lanigan gave up 4 runs, 3 earned, on 11 hits while striking out 3 over five innings, leading to a 7-2 loss to the Greeneville Astros.

Jose Aluve homered in the top of the 3rd to get the scoring started for the Astros. One out later, Renzo Tello singled and then advanced to 2nd on a throwing error by E-Twins shortstop James Beresford. Frank Almonte singled to drive in Tello, giving the 'Stros and early two run lead.

Tello would single in the top of the 5th, then watch Almonte put his 4th home run of the season over the left field fence to Greeneville.

Danny Rondon would replace Lanigan in the top of the 6th and after getting Devon Torrence out on strikes, would watch Torrence take 1st base anyway on a passed ball by Alex Soto. A pick off attempt went wrong and Torrence advanced to 2nd. He'd go to 3rd on Ricardo Bonfante's ground out, and a second error by Beresford allowed the Astros left fielder to score and Jose Alluve to reach. Alluve would go to second on the play and would cross the plate on Jay Austin's line drive single.

A fielding error by Jon Waltenbury allowed Kody Hinze on base in the top of the seven. After Ebert Rosario flew out, Pedro Gonzalez hit a grounder to center to advance Hinze to 2nd. Torrence would take a walk to load the bags, while Bonfante's ground out plated Hinze to finish off the Astro's scoring.

The E-Twins finally found some offense as Michael Harrington took a walk off Colton Ptkin. He'd move to 2nd on Evan Bigley's ground out, and Angel Morales walked to fill the space. Beresford then singled to plate Harrington, saving Elizabethton from a shut out.

They'd take one more in the bottom of the 8th, with Harrington doubling and Bigley tripling him in.

Beresford was 2-for-3 with a walk and a RBI, while Bigley was 2-for-4 Harrington had a pair of runs after going 1-for-3 at the plate with a walk. Adam Severino and Waltenbury each doubled for the E-Twins and Sevarino took a walk as well, but neither factored into the scoring.

Game two of the 3-game set is Thursday at 7:00 PM at Joe O'Brien Stadium.

W: L. Parra (4-1, 1.29); L: J. Ramirez (0-1, 3.80); SV: E. Alvarez (10)
HR: None.

The DSL Twins shut out the DSL Yankees2 proving that more is not better in terms of player development. Ramon Acosta worked 4 innings, scattering 3 hits and walk while striking out 4 to keep his 0.00 ERA. Leonardo Perra worked the next four innings, giving up a pair of hits and fanning two to pick up his 4th win of the season. Edison Alvarez logged his 10th save of the season.

Johnson City takes two on Sunday

Elizabethton 1 at Johnson City 6

W: J. Bravo (1-3, 3.80); L: B. Lanigan (1-2, 4.05)
HR: None.

It's rare to see the Elizabethton Twins with only two hits, but that's exactly what happened against the Johnson City Cardinals in the conclusion of the game suspended on July 1, 2008.

Guillermo Toribio would single in the bottom of the first off starter Bobby Lanigan. Following a fly out to Matt Rigoli, Nico Vasquez singled to put two on board. A passed ball by catcher Alex Soto advanced the pair, and Torbino would cross the plate on Curt Smith's ground out to give the cards the early lead.

They would added to it in the bottom of the fourth with Smith singling. After Jack Cawley and Edgar Lara went down on strikes, Travis Mitchell singled and Osvaldo Morales was hit by a pitch to load the bags. Lannigan then walked Jarred Bogany and Torbino to force in a pair of runs before finally getting Matt Rigoli out on the strikes.

Lanigan would exit the mound, giving up 3 runs, 2 earned on 5 hits and 2 walks while fanning five after 4 innings. After that it appears that Curt Leavitt replaced him but there are no stats available for for this game for the inning coming Twins prospect. (Don't you just LOVE Baseball Advanced Media?)

James Beresford would single and a passed ball by Cawley moved him to second. Dominic De La Osa drew a walk and Nick Romero reached on a fielding error by the Cards' Morales. Jon Waltenbury would hit into a ground out that plated Beresford, and Jon Bravo would replace Jose Mateo on the mound before Alex Soto was taken out on strikes.

Vasquez singled and stole 2nd off Leavitt. Smith would ground out and Cawley walk before Edgar Lara doubled to drive in Vasquez and Cawley.

The seventh inning would see Vasquez walk to lead off then moving to 2nd on a passed ball by Soto. Smith doubled him in for the final run of the game.

Soto had the only other hit in the game, going 1-for-3 at the plate with walk.

Elizabethton 3 at Johnson City 11

W: J. Rondon (2-2, 4.30); L: D. Berlind (1-2, 12.46)
HR: JCY: C. Smith (6), O. Morales (5), I. Castro (3).

One of the big questions Monday at the GCL game was WHAT is wrong with Danny Berlind? I don't know, I'm not there. And short of Rick Knapp showing up I'm not likely to know anytime soon. I do know that he wasn't pitching as well as I expected in Instructional League, but it was in no way indicative for the sort of shelling he's been suffering in Elizabethton.

Nico Vasquez singled off Berlind in the bottom of the first with one out on the board. A throwing error by Berlind on the pick off attempt moved Vasquez to 2nd. Curt Smith would pop out before Ivan Castro singled to plate the Cards short stop.

Nathan Hanson reached on a fielding error and took 2nd base as well when the ball went into the dugout. He moved to 3rd on a sac bunt by Beresford and came home on Dominic De La Osa's sacrifice fly to center.

Things turned bad for Berlind in the bottom of the stanza. After getting Brett Lilley out on strikes, Vasquez singled. Smith then clubbed a home run, his sixth of the season over the center field wall. Ivan Castro would walk to follow that up and Alex Castellanos, Travis Mitchell, Edgar Lara and Jarred Bogany all singled to to plate four more. Kyle Carr would replace Berlind at that point, getting Lilley to ground into a double play to end the inning.

It seems like Berlind is not pitching with a lot of confidence at the moment. Perhaps a move to the bullpen would be in order, so he could just air it out for an inning or two and get himself back on track?

Hanson doubled in the top of the fifth and following a fly out by Beresford, De La Osa would get hit by a pitch. Nick Romero sacrificed in Hanson. Singles to Jon Waltenbury and Michael Harrigton brought in De La Osa. Lanning would walk and the Cards would bring in Jorge Rondon to replace starter Matthew North. Rondon would get Angel Morales out on strikes to end the E-Twins scoring threat.

Osvaldo Morales put his fifth home run of the season over the right field wall. Following a fly out to Alex Castellonos, Travis Mitchell and Edgar Lara both walked. Jarred Bogany ground into a force out that plated Mitchell and Lilley singled before Danny Rondon came in to replace Carr, getting Vasques to ground out to end the the inning.

Smith would single and Ivan Castro homered off Rondon in the bottom of the sixth to complete the scoring.

Harrington was 2-for-4 with a double and a RBI, while Hanson was 1-for-3 with a double and a pair of runs. Waltenbury and Beresford were the one hit wonders of the game. Jeff Lanning also had a single, going 1-for-2 at the plate, but drew a walk to go along with it.

Beloit, E-Twins both post wins

Clinton 5 at Beloit 7

W: S. Steedley (4-3, 2.28); L: K. Gomez (8-4, 3.04)
HR: CLI: T. Smith (4). BEL: D. Romero (2).

Deibinson Romero's 2nd home run of he season helped power the Beloit Snappers past the Clinton Lumber Kings, 7-5, at Pohlman Field.

Clinton would open up the scoring in the top of the 3rd when Andres James reached on a fielding error by Estarlin De Los Santos. A missed catch by Rene Leveret on the pick off attempt sent James to 3rd, and he'd be plated by a Mitchell Moreland single. Jonathan Greene would also single before Timothy Smith went yard over the right field wall to make it 4-0 L-Kings.

The Snappers got down to work in the fourth when De Lo singled, and Romero homered out to center, to cut the L-King's lead in half.

Chris Cates would single in the bottom of the fifth, and be tripled in by Ben Revere. A wild pitch by Clinton's Kennil Gomez brought Revere across the plate for the tying run.

Jose Felix would single in the top of the sixth, then move to 2nd on a Kyle Murphy ground ball. Engel Beltre's grounder to center would bring Felix in to put the L-Kings back on top again.

That also finished it for starter Santos Arias, who allowed an uncharacteristic 5 runs, 4 earned on 9 hits and 2 walks while striking out four.

Ozzie Lewis would single in the bottom of the inning, and Leveret would reach on a fielding error by Beltre. Mark Dolenc would bunt into a force out that took Lewis down at 3rd, but Schmiesing moved the runners again with a ground out of his own. Allan de San Miguel singled out to center to bring in the pair, giving the Snappers the lead again.

The bottom of the 7th saw a pair of back-to-back doubles by Romero and Lewis that brought in one more run to finish things off.

Romero finished off 3-for-4 with a pair of runs and 2 RBIs. De Lo was 2-for-4 with a run while Lewis was 2-for-3 with a run scored.

Dolenc, Schmiesing, de San Miguel and Cates all singled, while Revere was 1-for-4 with a triple and a run.

Former Snappers' bat boy, Kyle Murphy, was 1-for-4 for the L-Kings.

The two teams rematch Wednesday at 7:00 PM at Pohlman Field.

Elizabethton 11 at Burlington 4

W: C. Leavitt (2-1, 5.29); L: C. Bryant (0-1, 7.20)
HR: ELI: N. Romero (3).

Ho-Hum. Another day, another 2 billion runs for the Elizabethton Twins, who finished sweeping Burlington with a 11-4 win on Tuesday.

Juan Richardson would hit into a force out that took down Danny Rams to get on base in the top of the 2nd. Dominic De La Osa then singled, moving Richardson to third. Following a strike out to Angel Morales and a steal by De La Osa, James Beresford's fly ball would score the pair to put the E-Twins on the board.

The top of the 4th would see De La Osa single and then steal 2nd. Morales' single moved De La Osa to 3rd, and pitcher Carson Bryant would be replaced by Jacob Rodriguez. This made little difference as Beresford's ground out scored De La Osa. A passed ball by Miguel Moctezumo allowed Morales to move to 3rd. Adan Severino walked, but Rodriguez was then called for a balk which allowed Morales to score.

De La Osa walked in the sixth and used a single by Morales and a wild pitch by Rodriguez to get around to 3rd. A wild pitch would then bring him home.

Roque Colon bravely got on the mound in the top of the the seventh, and got Nick Romero to fly out. Jon Waltenbury would take a walk off him though, before he got Michael Harrington out on strikes. Rams then tripled to drive in Walt. Juan Richardson would go walkies on Colon as well, and De La Osa would reach on a fielding error by Fernando Cruz, which also plated Rams. Morales then double to clear off the bases, making it 9-1 E-Twins.

The Royals got a bit muscular on Danny Rondon, hitting him up for 3 runs, 2 earned on 3 hits and an error by Waltenbury.

Elizabethton's Romero then went yard over the right center field wall, and Rondon closed Burlington down in the 8th to take away any thoughts of a Royals rally.

Nathan Fritz replace Rondon for the 9th and allowed a single to Lifete Jones and a double to Angel Franco, but he'd get Julio Aparicio to pop out and Josh Vittek to ground out to strand the runners at second and third and end the game.

Curtis Leavitt earned the win, allowing only 1 run on 3 hits and 3 walks while striking out 6 in half a dozen innings.

Morales finished up 3-for-4 with a run and 2 RBIs, De La Osa was 2-for-4 with 4 runs. Beresford was 1-for-5 with a single, but picked up 3 RBIs in the contest.

Next up, the E-Twins look forward to pulverizing the Greeneville Astros Wednesday at Joe O'Brien Stadium. The game is set for 7:00 PM.
