Wednesday And Thursday Night In The Minor League Playoffs...

...the only action involving former Dirtbags on Wednesday was in the independent Northern League title series involving Curt Lee's Gary Southshore RailCats and Fargo-Moorhead. Gary lost 5-4 to go down 0-2 in the best of 5 series. [Box Score]. Curt was 0 for 4 in the game. Yesterday was a travel day, and the series resumes this evening.

...Jered Weaver started for the AA Texas League Arkansas Travelers last night against Midland. Arkansas entered the game down 2 games to none in the best of 5 series for the Texas League title, so each game is do or die. Last night the Travs lived to play another game tonight, besting Midland 4-3. [Box Score]. Jered pitched 7.0 strong innings, but left the game trailing 3-2. He gave up 6 hits, including 2 homeruns, struck out 7, walked 2, and allowed 3 earned runs. Arkansas scored 2 in the bottom of the 8th to secure the victory. Kasey Olenberger did not pitch.

...the Advanced Class A California League title series got under way last night at Lake Elsinore, with the Storm hosting Todd Jennings' and John Bowkers' San Jose Giants. Lake Elsinore took game 1 of the best of 5 series, 7-4. [Box Score]. Todd had 2 doubles in 3 at bats (plus a walk), scored a run, and had an RBI, starting at 3rd. John started in right field and had a double in 4 at bats, drew a walk, and also drove in 1.

Update: I saw this at Madfriars.com after I put up this post: "After the umpires called [Todd] Jennings out in the ninth, the Giants' third baseman twice charged at the crew chief Jason Milsap and hurled his batting helmet halfway across the field before he and pitching coach Trevor Wilson were ejected from the game. Jennings, who had two doubles on the night, may face a suspension for his actions."

I'll be at the game in Lake Elsinore tonight. It's about 3:00 p.m. as I post this, I just called the ticket

office and there are plenty of tickets left. You can order by phone at 951:245-4487, or online here. After tonight, the series moves north to San Jose. This will be my 1st trip The Diamond (pictured left) at Lake Elsinore, though I've talked to several friends and relatives who have been and given rave reviews. The Storm website gives this description:

The Diamond is a state-of-the-art baseball park that is continually voted as one of the finest parks in all of Minor League Baseball. The park has 6,066 fixed seats, luxury suites and a grass berm seating area on the right field line - allowing over 8,000 fans to take in a night or afternoon of Storm baseball.
