| The Apostles avoid the sweep by taking the final game of the series, 3-1. Early in the game, it looked like the pitchers had their stuff. Numerous splits were missed until the 4th. Cabrera hit a 1-6 DO to lead off the inning, but Jacobs missed a single split with two out. In the bottom of the frame, the Muleriders loaded the bases with one out, but managed only a single run on Millar's FC. The score remained 1-0 ARK until the top of the 8th. With two out, Eckstein doubled, Cabrera walked and Carlos Lee lucked a 1-2 HR over the wall, for a 3-1 Apostle lead. Arkansas went quietly in the final two frames. After the game, the Saint Gabriel GM announced two trades. Slugger Jim Thome was sent to Rio Brazos for a young SP (Boof Bonser) and cash. Thome is in the last year of his contract and had voiced that he wanted to play for a contender. In the second trade, ILL sent OF Carlos Quentin, LHSP Cliff Lee, CA Chris Ianetta and their first round pick in the rookie draft (rumor was the Apostles were already talking to Evan Longoria) to San Juan for SS Hanley Ramirez, CL Brian Fuentes and RP Pat Neshek. The acquisitions should keep the team from losing 100, but shouldn't keep them out of the lottery. |
