6-21-08-The Sluggers won another close one against the Phillies today. Backe got an RBI single in the 2nd, to make it 1-0 early. The Phillies had a good 3rd inning, scoring on an Utley RBI triple, and then Howard brought him home on a 2 run homer, to make it 3-1, Phillies. The Sluggers didn't like the taste of losing though, and tied it in the bottom of the 3rd, on a Gordon solo homer, and an Anderson sac fly to make it 3-3. In the 5th, Gonzalez hit a solo homer, to give the Sluggers a 4-3 lead. That was the last run, as the Sluggers held on for the W.

Phillies 28-45 not possible! But have you figured out a way to lose simulated games I guess not because of the 50-19 record.

Yeah, I'm invincible! But I don't like it.

He probably has a ton of at-bats from batting leadoff.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty close the All-Star break, where I'll post all the stats and standings so far. Gordon is the only one in contention, but at least he's in 1st. I thought Stewart would be with his hits, and Backe with his major league leading average.

Texas Rangers (37-39) @ Honolulu Sluggers (53-22)
6-24-08-The Sluggers got down early, but pulled out yet another victory against the Rangers. Josh Hamilton got a 2 RBI double in the 1st, to put the Sluggers down 0-2. Ryan Techer settled down then, only giving up 3 more hits in his 6 innings pitched. The Sluggers took the lead in the 3rd inning, on a Gordon RBI 2B, and a Greene 2 RBI single to make it 3-2. In the 7th, Gonzalez got an RBI single to put up the Sluggers 4-2, but Josh Hamilton hit a solo homer off of Christopher Hood to make it 4-3, but Washington got yet another save. Our next game is on the 28th vs. the Phillies again.

"Alright Bob, this is what I've got for our June Review." said Alex.

"It's hard to believe that June is gone already." said Bob. "It seems like we were just wondering who are players were gonna be. Now we've got the best record in baseball!" said Bob.

"Alright, here it is." said Alex.


June in Review
The Sluggers had another great month of June, going 19-7, very similar to the previous 2 months' records. They are now 59-22 overall, 10 games ahead of the Angels. They have the best record in baseball by 7 games over the Braves.The All-Star game is held this month, and Alex Gordon is in 1st place for 2nd baseman, and Pablo Gonzalez is in 3rd for DH. Ryan Techer has the best ERA, a 2.26, and the most quality starts, with 12. Rocky Thornton is tied for 2nd place in wins, with an amazing 11-0 record. The Sluggers closer, Johnny Washington, has the most saves, with 24. Their SS, Jay Stewart, has the most hits in the MLB, with 119. Alex Gordon is 2nd in homers, 24, and RBI's, with 84. Let's hope they win the All-Star game, and have a great July as well!


"As always, sounds good Alex." said Bob.

Alex smiled, and left the room.

Go Stewart!

Would it be possible for you to post stats of our players?

Just wait 'till the All-Star break, I should get there sometime during the middle of next week

Minnesota Twins (30-53) @ Honolulu Sluggers (61-22)

7-2-08-The Sluggers win was a close one, even though it should've been a blow-out. They jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the 1st on a Pablo Gonzalez RBI single. In the 2nd, Mike Lamb hit a solo homer to tie it at 1-1. Jay Stewart put the Sluggers back ahead though, with an RBI single to make it 2-1. The next batter, Andrew Jones, hit a Grand Slam, to put the Sluggers way ot in front, 6-1. Leo Collins couldn't keep that lead though, giving up 6 runs in his 7 innings pitched. The Twins scored 3 in the 4th, on a Kubel RBI single, a Harris RBI single, and a Gomez RBI ground-out to make it 6-4. They tied it the next inning, the 5th, on a Jason Kubel 2 RBI single. Pablo Gonzalez got another run in for the Sluggers, on a solo homer in the 7th, to make it 7-6. But James Shields, who is usually lights out, gave up a solo homer to none other than Jason Kuubel to tie it at 7-7. In the 9th inningg, with 2 outs, Pablo Gonzalez doubled, and Preston Greene also did, scoring the winning run on a walk-off double. Pablo Gonzalez has been very clutch this season, adding that winning run to his 2 walk-off homers. He will be going to the All-Star game as a back-up DH, with fellow Slugger Alex Gordon, who is starting at 2nd base. The Sluggers are on a 9 game winning streak. Our next game is on the 5th, with Thornton pitching.
