Lottery ... after BLOCK 7

Here's what the LOTTERY is shaping up to be after BLOCK 7. Anything can happen with 36 games left and the random draw for the final order.

Saint Gabriel (48 wins) is fading fast. With four of final six series against contenders, look for ILL to win fewer than 71 for the first time in history.

Cleveland (48 wins) has the edge for the worst record in the DBA. Lack of bullpen depth plus issues with a few hitters will see this team flounder in its final 36. Winning more than 12 in the final month and a half would be a minor miracle.

Brighton (48 wins) has been up and down all season. With four of six series against contenders, the Wampus Cats could be spoilers or just lay down and purr. Look for something in between.

West Huron (51 wins) is nearing the end of a long year. Hitting droughts following by pitching implosions ended this team's playoff run before it really began. Now, it appears to be solidly in the LOTTERY hunt, and could still be a tough win for playoff hopefuls LEB, BSK and DEN.

Burmese (51 wins) went 4-20 in July to end its potential run at a winning season. With no real usage issues, this team could pull itself out of the LOTTERY very easily. 30-6 isn't in the cards, but 20-16 is a definite possibility. Playoff hopefuls will need to send their best to BBM down the stretch. And even that might not be enough.

Altenberg (56 wins) has been a disappointment ever since a 12-24 April. Now, this pre-season playoff team is hoping to end on a high note. With only one opponent with a winning record, it would be a surprise to see ALT still in the LOTTERY at the end of the season.

WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Andruw Jones robbed Brad Hawpe of a Homerun!
 
Geovany Soto cracked 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI at The Snake Pit (08) as the
Ridgecrest Rattlers beat the Normandy Lake Landsharks by the count of 5 to
3.
 
The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Soto.  He lofted a three-run 'big-fly' in the 1st inning and
cracked a solo homerun (his 18th of the season) in the 8th inning.  Normandy
Lake made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed
runs across.  
 
Jon Lester(10-8) was the winner allowing 1 run in 7 innings. Chad Qualls was
credited with his 22nd save.  The losing pitcher was Ben Sheets(4-11).  He
was touched for 10 hits and 2 walks in 7 and 1/3 innings.

Chris Sampson had a strong outing and Orlando Cabrera had 3 base hits as the
Elkhart Lake Racers defeated the Normandy Lake Landsharks 4 to 3 at Siebkens
Park (06).
 
Elkhart Lake came up with the deciding runs in the bottom of the 8th inning
with 2 runs on 3 hits.  Lance Berkman opened up the inning nicely when he
stroked a base-hit.  After an out was recorded, Greg Dobbs came to the plate
and doubled.  Fred Lewis got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim.
Gil Meche then threw a wild pitch.  Cabrera stepped into the box and laced a
one-base hit.  A.J. Pierzynski added his contribution to the rally and
reached on an error.  Elkhart Lake out-hit Normandy Lake for the game, 12
hits to 3.  
 
Joel Hanrahan(4-1) went 3 innings allowing 1 run for the win. Mariano Rivera
gained credit for his 19th save.  Meche(7-9) was the losing pitcher.  He got
hit pretty hard, allowing 12 hits and 2 walks in 8 innings.

Edinson Volquez whiffed 10 batters at Ganzee Stadium (02) where the Burmese
Blood Monkeys beat the floundering Cleveland Buckeyes 13 to 6.
 
Volquez(9-8) earned his pay with a solid performance for Burmese.  He allowed
7 hits and 3 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings.  Despite scoring in 5 separate
innings, Cleveland could not get the win.  
 
Jarrod Washburn(2-5) ended up with the loss.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the
performance of Volquez - except Cleveland.  Kevin Daberkow lamented, 'He just
was 'on' this afternoon.  He was keeping our guys off balance all game.  A
fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun game for the hometown
fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'

The Burmese Blood Monkeys put 4 runs on the scoreboard in the 5th inning and
had an easy time of it at Ganzee Stadium (02) defeating the floundering
Cleveland Buckeyes by a score of 8 to 3.
 
Aramis Ramirez enjoyed a fine evening at the plate.  He doubled bringing in
two baserunners in the 3rd inning and cleared the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun (his 18th of the season) in the 5th inning.  Cleveland had 13 hits in
the game while Burmese had 10, but Burmese had the more timely hits.  
 
Scott Olsen(7-15) allowed 3 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Olsen got help from Ramon Ramirez who was credited with his 2nd

but Burmese was able to put down the rally.  
 
The victory was credited to Josh Johnson(2-7) who went 7 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 4 runs. Takashi Saito got the save, his 7th.  Jeremy Sowers(2-6) was
given the loss.  He allowed 9 hits and 2 walks in 6 and 1/3 innings.

In a close game it was the Denver Strokers 5, the slumping Cleveland Buckeyes
3 at Launching Pad (08).
 
Cleveland never recovered after Denver took the lead in the bottom of the 7th
inning as they scored 2 runs on 2 base hits.  The critical plate appearance
was by Derek Jeter who elicited a roar from the hometown fans when he doubled
bringing in two baserunners.  Both teams finished the game with 8 hits.
 
The winning pitcher was Oliver Perez(14-7) who allowed 3 runs in 7 and 2/3
innings. Brian Fuentes got the save, his 23rd.  Jarrod Washburn(2-4) took the
loss.  
 
'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said Perez, 'I got burned on
a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.'

In a game for the baseball purist, Randy Wolf(13-6) and Jeremy Sowers(2-5)
squared off in a tense pitching duel, indomitable Denver Strokers finally
emerged victorious over floundering Cleveland Buckeyes, 3 to 1.
 
In the bottom of the 2nd inning Denver scored 2 runs with the help of 3 hits.
That scoring would be all that was needed.  Denver finished with 7 hits in
the victory.  
 
Brian Fuentes was credited with his 22nd save.
