Greenville Ends Summer Season...Shivers Loses 6 Pounds

It was hot. So hot in fact that GM Michael Shivers sweat off 6 pounds. Unfortunately, the heat also kept Greenville Oaks from being able to score runs as the RCN Stars marched to an undefeated season, and Greenville Oaks ends their summer at 4 - 4.

The night was not without it's highlights though...see photo below:

Stickland came back with a Chaplin mustache inspired by his time in the Utah extended spring training.

It was a strange night for Greenville, as they could not connect on a big hit all night. In fact, Greenville players had 40 at bats on the evening in a seven inning ballgame and could only push across four of those for runs. To spell that another way, Greenville left 15 men on base across 7 innings. How about this...Greenville averaged a little over 2 runners on base at the end of every inning. To say it a little differently, the only way that they scored runs tonight was with 2 walks, a sacrifice fly, and a full swinging bunt hit. To summarize, we couldn't get a hit with guys on base.

Most of the blame can probably be put on Brian Edwards not wearing his mustache, but it could also be shared by a sore rib that is plaguing rookie of the year, Curtis Damour. Or, of course, it might have been that the other team was better. We will never really know for sure.

One thing I do know is that it is time for me to hit the showers. Stay tuned, as the fall season kicks off on Monday, August 23rd.
