xcrunner4623 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 CRACKER JACKS WIN IN EXTRAS 5-4 ATLANTA- The Braves finally thought they figured out the Crackers. Atlanta tied the team from Hockessin in the seventh, and then in the ninth, but in the extra frames, the Cracker bats became clutch. In the top of the tenth, Billy Wagner (2-0) atoned for his blown save in the ninth, stroking a single to center to lead off the inning. After being subsituted for Jeff DaVanon, Ryan Freel singled, sending DaVanon to third. Two batters later, Jason Bay continued his hot hitting, driving in the man from third for his second RBI of the game. The Crackers used six pitchers on the day, wasting Charlie Haeger's second strong start in a row for the injured Joe Kennedy. Haeger went five and two-thirds innings, scattering seven hits, and allowing one earned run, while striking out three. David Wright's throw goes THROUGH Teixiera's glove, allowing the tying run to score DaVanon scores the winning run Box Score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcrunner4623 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 CRACKERS CLOSE TO LANDING ONE OF THEIR OWN??? Rumors around Hockessin and Major League Baseball offices have heard talk about a swap between the Cincinatti Reds and the Hockessin Cracker Jacks involving Ryan Church for the Reds and Matt Murton for the Cracker Jacks. "We need a left handed bat in the line-up," manager Blaze Fraizer said. "There has been talk about a possible swap with the Reds. Ryan would be a great addition to this team. He can hit for power, and most importantly fill a need with a left handed bat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcrunner4623 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 CRACKERS FINALIZE DEAL WITH THE REDS TO HOCKESSIN: Ryan Church Josh Fogg TO CINCINATTI: Matt Murton Brad Hennessey General Manager Blaze Fraizer's thoughts: "I am glad we were able to make this deal go though. We needed a left handed bat and we got it in Church. Hennessey was not getting the job done in his first start, and he was talking down to the ownership, so he had to go. Fogg should bring in some quality pitching, so we'll see how his first start goes.

xcrunner4623 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 CRACKERS AND ROCKS PLAY WILD ONE IN COLORADO DENVER- There is an old saying in baseball that anything can happen in the thin air of Colorado. The Cracker Jacks and the Rockies proved it correct tonight, trading leads in a 10-8 Hockessin win. After going up 2-0 in the first on back-to-back RBI singles by David Wright and Ryan Church, the Crackers settled. After Jerry Hariston, Jr. tied the game in the bottom of the frame with his second home run of the year, the game got wild. Hockessin put five runs on the board in the second, tallying six singles, with Stephen Drew, Jason Bay, and Mark Teixiera each collecting RBIs. "Right after the second inning, Trev and I were talking in the bullpen, eating our mayonnaise sandwiches," closer Billy Wagner said. "I told him that it's kinda nice how we get to rest so much these days. He told me not to be so assured of that." Five innings later, Colorado put six on the board, led by a Brian McCann home run, his second of the year. Richie Weeks, who went 3 for 5 on the day collected an RBI in the inning as well. Then in the eigth, Bay put the Cracker Jacks ahead for good with his team leading fifth home run, an opposite field three run shot.

xcrunner4623 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 ROCKIES DISMANTLE CRACKERS 15-1 DENVER- The Colorado Rockies put on a power display against Hockessin, connecting on five home runs, two of which from Miguel Tejada. The game was ugly from the beginning as the Cracker Jacks could not mount any offense against starter Javier Vazquez. Scoreless through two, the Rockies then put up runs in each of the next six innings, highlighted by a five run seventh. Ryan Church had two hits for Hockessin. Stephen Drew and Dan Uggla also collected for the Jacks. Jason Schmidt was battered for 15 hits in 4 innings, giving up 5 earned runs. Billy Traber came in relief, and didn't offer much, lasting three innings, giving up 7 runs. "I really hope none of our fans are rushing out to buy Billy Traber jerseys," manager Blaze Fraizer said. "He is probably the worst major league ballplayer ever. Hopefully we can send him down or at least trade him for a bucket of balls."

xcrunner4623 Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 CRACKERS LOSE SECOND STRAIGHT DENVER- The Cracker Jacks lost a wild one in Colorado against the Rockies, 10-9. The teams combined for 18 walks in the game. Tied at one through three innings, Kelly Stinnet put the Crackers up 2-1 with an RBI single. Then it unraveled. The Rockies scored 5 runs in the bottom half of the inning, as Brad Penny walked six batters in the inning. "I just couldn't find the strike zone today," Penny said. "There's always another start." Hockessin got one back in the next inning on a David Wright double, but then Luke Scott hit his first home run of the game. In the top of the sixth, the Jacks took the 8-7 lead after back to back doubles by Bay and Teixiera, but then Scott came up again in the bottom half, drilling his second home run of the game. "It was a tough road trip," manager Blaze Fraizer said. "We just need some good home cooking and some wins." Watch Scotts 2 HRs Box Score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
