This is all I could find thus far, as the complete box wasn't reported to Baseball America. If anyone gets the complete line, I'd like to see it.

 

This is from the official AFL site:

 

Solar Sox 10, Javelinas 5

 

Delmon Young (TB), Richard Lewis (ATL) and Kris Wilken (BAL) hit a combined .615 (8-for-13) with five RBIs and scored six times to lead the Solar Sox to victory as they beat the Javelinas 10-5 in Peoria. Solar Sox starter Chris Buglovsky (COL) pitched five innings and allowed three runs on six hits and walked two to pick up the victory.

 

Facing a 3-0 deficit, the Solar Sox took the lead for good in the top of the third inning when they scored three runs on a Jason Dubois (CHN) double scoring Lewis, an RBI single by Wilken which scored Dubois and a RBI double by Young to drive in Wilken. Three innings later, Lewis’s two out, two-RBI double driving in B.J. Upton (TB) and Casey Kopitzke (CHN) highlighted a five run inning and put the game out of reach.

 

Chris Schroder (MON) and George Sherrill (SEA) looked masterful on the mound for the Javelinas as they combined to throw 4 1/3 shutout innings in relief. Blue Jays prospect Russ Adams and Byron Gettis (KC) led the Javelinas offense as they combined for five singles, two RBI’s and a run scored.

 

 

Solar Sox 023 005 000 10 12 1

Javelinas 002 001 10x 5 12 2

Solar Sox: Buglovsky, Veras (6), Ormond (8), Zumwalt (9)

Javelinas: Cotts, Schroder (3), Thornton (6), Sherrill (7), Majewski (9)

WP - Buglovsky (1-0) LP - Cotts (1-2) Save-None Time: 2:46

Cotts biggest problem is that he's "nibbling" too much instead of relying on his great stuff. I really hope that Mark Buehrle could have a few sessions with him and impart his knowledge to the kid. He could be special, and WILL be, if he ever finally relies on his natural ability.

As Sandy Koufax once said, "Once I got it through my head that even the best hitters are only successful 30% of the time, I finally said to myself, 'Hey, I'll just throw it over the plate and dare them to hit it. Even the best will fail 2/3 of the time.' You can't shut down batters throwing your second and third best pitch."
