This week in CCJBL Baseball!!!
Monday June 4
Mt. Carroll Hawks @ Savanna Indians, Old Mill Park
The Hawks jumped all over Indians hurler Robin Roberts on this fine Monday evening at Old Mill Park. A Johnny Olerud single coupled with a David Freese error put runers on 1st and 2nd with one out in the games opening frame. Frankie "Home Run" Baker came through with a two-run triple to get Mt. Carroll on the board. Gene Robertson promptly singled Baker home to stake the away team to a quick 3-0 lead. The Hawks batsmen added to their cushion in the third when Baker struck again, singling home Michael Trout. The four runs were more than enough for Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn. Vaughn tossed serious heat the entire game, going the distance and shutting out the overmatched Indians.

Milledgeville Missiles @ Shannon Eagles, Lions Park
A pitchers duel at Lions Park between two of the most charismatic young hurlers in the league!
The Missiles Fernando Valenzuela and Shannon's Kenny DeNunez went toe to toe, pitch for pitch in this battle. Milledgeville struck first when a Shawon Dunston error allowed speedster Rickey Henderson to reach base to start the game. Henderson was his usual daring self on the basepaths, swiping second AND third, then scored on a Joey Votto single. Dunston made up for his miscue with a solo dinger in the bottom half of the second inning to tie things up. DeNunez and Fernando puts up zeroes the rest of the way until the bottom of the sixth when the Eagles star shortstop struck again, crushing a second home run off of Valenzuela to walk it off!

Lanark Beavers @ Chadwick Silver Streaks, Handel Park
The Streaks jumped out to a 2-0 lead against Lanark starter Amos Rusie in the bottom of the first on a Reggie Sanders RBI single and Garrett Kness sacrifice fly. But single tallies in the fourth and fifth (one a solo shot by Enos Slaughter) off of Chadwick ace Jered Weaver tied thing up. The score remained the same until the top of the 9th inning when run scoring base hits by Moises Alou and Mark Ellis staked the road squad to a 4-2 lead.
But Chadwick would not roll over. Batting against reliever David Price, working in his fifth inning in relief of Rusie. A lead off single by Luis Gonzales got things off on the right foot and Kness reached on a costly error by outfielder Cliff Mapes. An Albert Almora ground out plated one run. Then Chadwick's John Berardino went down swinging for the second out of the inning, giving the Beavers hope Price might wriggle out of the jam. Price walked Mark McLemore to put men on 1st and 2nd. The walk was likely semi-intentional because light hitting Stevie Karsay was due up. But Karsay shocked the home crowd roping a two run double off of the Handel Park chain link to win the game!!!

Thursday June 4
Shannon Eagles @ Lanark Beavers, Eastland H.S.
The Beavers got off to a good start in this rivalry game, jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the opening frame on an RBI single by Enos "Country" Slaughter. Unfortunately for the Lanark baseball faithful, that was all the scoring the home squad would do off of "Satchell" Paige and Co. Shannon plated three on a home run blast by Joyner White in the third and two more in the fifth on a single by Shawon Dunston.

Savanna Eagles @ Milledgeville Missiles, Milledgeville H.S.
The Missiles Bobby Johnson got roughed up in this one. Willie Mays Hayes reached on an error to begin the top of the first and it just got worse from there on. "Pee Wee" Reese drove Hayes home with a double. Three batters later Brock Holt singled home Reese. Then Collin Cowgill and Brad Ausmus hit back-to-back home runs and MIlledgeville was down 5-0 before they even had a chance to swing the bats. Claude Jonnard and Robin Roberts wouldn't let them get off of the deck, either, as the Savanna pair allowed just one run in the contest.

Chadwick Silver Streaks @ Mt. Carroll Hawks, Point Rock Park
A two run double by Garrett Kness in the first got things started for the visiting Streaks against crafty hurler Charles Radbourn. A pair of RBI singles by Radbourn (in the third) and Gerald Walker (in the fourth) knotted the score at two apiece. In the top of the fifth, however, Chadwick's Reggie Sanders had the last word, cranking a Radbourn curveball high into the sky past the right-center fence. Jered Weaver shut the door on the Streaks with two scoreless to nab himself a save.
Final Score: Chadwick 3, Mt. Carroll 2
