Minor League Report for 9/5

These were the final regular season games, although Boise will move on to the NWL playoffs.

Iowa 4 Omaha 3 - Felix Pie went 3-5 ending up with a line of 283/341/451 and an OPS of 792 (for those of you too lazy to add), and added his 17th stolen base of the year in the game. Eric Patterson joined Pie in being one of the top 5 batters in the order that each had 2 hits in this one, as Patterson had a triple and his 2nd HR since joining the Iowa Cubs and his 10th on the season. Seven pitchers took the mound for Iowa, with no pitcher pitching more than 2 innings.

West Tennessee 4 Chattanooga 1 - Brandon Sing went 1-3 with his 11th HR of the year (combined), ending a pretty disappointing season for Sing. Jake Fox went 2-4 with a double, ending his best season as a professional, with a line of 294/350/514 combined between Daytona and West Tennessee. On the mound, JR Mathes pitched a complete game, giving up 6 hits, 1 ER, walking 1, and striking out 4. It was Mathes 3rd complete game of the season, by far the organization's leader in complete games.

Beloit 2 Peoria 0 - Peoria lost in a rain shortened game in which Valerio Heredia and youngster Francisco Tirada singled for the only hits of the game for the Chiefs. Joel Santo (9-10) took the loss going just 4 IPs, giving up 3 hits, 2 runs, 1 ER, 3 walks, and striking out 3.

Boise 8 Tri-City 2 - Jose Ceda started and went 2 shutout innings giving up just a hit and striking out 1, while Jason Ruhlman (3-1) earned the win in relief striking out 6 in 2.2 IP. At the plate, Russ Canzler went 2-3 with a walk and a double, while Tyler Colvin didn't play.

Notes: A couple of big league notes affected the minors recently, with September callups. Surprisingly, Scott Moore was promoted to the big club, and made his major league debut pinch-hitting yesterday as he was hit by a pitch. Possibly as surprising, Felix Pie will not be receiving a callup, despite the final two months where Pie has torn the cover off the ball.
