Voice Of A Season Ticket Holder
by David Malamut
The Cougars got out hit and out played in the field today, as they now
drop three games below the 500 mark for the season. It is kind of a bad day
when the highlight of the game is in the ninth inning, when one of your
players hits a long homer, and it's what the ump does that makes it the highlight.
Shawn Hill pitched a good game for the Lumberkings, he went five innings, and gave
up only two hits. He did give up one run, but it was unearned. He walked one and
struck out six. Hill retired six of the first seven Cougars he faced. The one he did not
retire walked to lead off the second. He ended his outing by retiring the final five.
The relievers for the Lumberkings came in and just shut the door. Jason Walked pitched the
next two innings and walked one and struck out one.
Phil Akens made his third start for the Cougars. All three have been
on the road. He pitched into the fifth inning. He just did not have much today.
Phil gave nine hits and seven runs. Six of those runs were earned.
Tyler Banks did a good job out of the pen, he went two and one thirds innings, giving up
only one hit. He walked three and struck out three. He got a double play in the seventh inning to
get out of a first and third with two outs situation. Lou Evans did not fare much better. He pitched
one inning. An error by shortstop Rex Rundgren did him in. He gave up three runs in the inning. He only
gave up one hit.
The scoring began in the bottom of the first when Danny Rombley singled to right. Greg Thissen then
grounded to third to move Rombley over. John Labanderia then drove home Rombley from second with a
single to center.
The Kings added another in the second when with one out. Shawn Norris walked. David Lutz then
doubled to right. Craig Kerner hit a sacrifice fly to left to score Norris.
The Cougars did put up a little bit of a fight in this game, in the third inning, Kris Clute would reach
on an error by the second baseman Greg Thissen. Rex Rundgren then popped out to the shortstop. Anthony
Brewer doubled to right to score Clute to cut the Kings lead in half.
In the fifth the Kings exploded with five runs. David Lutz led things off with a single to right. Rightfielder
Charles Frazier missed the ball and let it go to the fence for an error. Lutz would get to second. Craig Kerner then
put down a sacrifice bunt to move Lutz to third. Danny Rombley doubled to left to score Lutz. Greg Thissen then singled
to left to score Rombley. A wild pitch would move Thissen to second. Josh Labanderia then lined to left. Dominick
Ambrosini doubled to left to score Thissen. Clyde Williams hit a homer to right to score Ambrosini. Matt Brown then singled
to left. The Cougars made a pitching change and brought in Tyler Banks. Banks got Shawn Norris to
groundout to second to end the nightmare inning.
Clinton put the game out of reach in the eighth with three more runs, this time off Cougars
reliever Lou Evans. David Lutz led off with a walk. Craig Kerner then walked also. Danny Rombley lined on off of the
right leg of Evans for a single. Anthony Ambrosini then reached from an error by shortstop Rex Rundgren. On the play
Lutz would score. Josh Lababderia then struck out. Dominick Ambrosini then walked with the bases loaded. Kerner then
came home on the play. Clyde Williams hit a sacrifice fly to left to score Rombley.
The highlight of the game came in the ninth for the Cougars when Jason Stokes hit a long homer
to left field. On the play the home plate ump got up after Stokes hit the
ball took one step on the grass and fell on his back, he signaled the homerun while still on the
back, I guess he found a wet spot on the grass.
Notes-an hour before the game it was anounced that Kris Clute came back
off of the disabled list, and with Heath Kelly still here, Juan Carlos Garcia has
been moved to extended spring training.
