This week in CCJBL Baseball!!!
Monday June 11
Mt. Carroll Hawks @ Milledgeville Missiles, Milledgeville H.S.
The Hawks got two runs on the board immediately when Frank "Home Run" Baker lived up to his nickname with a two run blast off of Missiles hurler Fernando Valenzuela in the top of the first. Joey Votto got one of those back in the bottom half of the frame with a solo shot.
Another solo bomb from Milledgeville's Timothy Federowicz in the third tied it up and the scrappy Missiles took a one run lead later that inning on a Votto run scoring single. Valenzuela then helped his own cause by plating two with a 4th inning triple for a 5-2 lead!
The Hawks weren't finished yet, however. Willie Wells chased Fernando from the contest with a fifth inning dinger. Milledgeville small-balled their way to a 6-3 advantage in the bottom half of the same inning. Robert Johnson, on in relief of Valenzuela, gave up two runs in the sixth when Baker managed a second collosal clout, but managed to hang on for the save.
Final: Milledgeville 6, Mt. Carroll 5

Shannon Eagles @ Chadwick Silver Streaks, Handel Park
Picturesque Handel Park was the scene of an old fashioned pitchers duel! Chadwick's Jared Weaver and Shannon's Satchel Paige each baffled their opponents through five innings. Weaver entered the top of the sixth having allowed no hits! He mowed down the Eagles batsmen to finish the half inning with the no-no intact. But the score was still tied. Unfortunately, Paige had been lifted for a pinch hitter and was relieved in the bottom half by Kenny DeNunez, who retired the first two he faced. Mighty youngster Matthew Williams strode to the plate with the game and Weaver's no hitter on the line and delivered a walk-off home run!
Final Score: Chadwick 1, Shannon 0

Savanna Indians @ Lanark Beavers, Eastland H.S.
Another gem of a pitching performance in this contest! Lanark's Amos Rusie hurled a one-hit shutout! The Eagles pitchers were not as lucky, unfortunately, and were tagged for 6 runs. The Beaver's attack was led by Mark Ellis who knocked in 4 runs himself.

Savanna Indians @ Shannon Eagles, Lions Park
An interesting contest took place at Lions Park! Shannon seemed to have this one under control leading 4-2 entering the sixth inning. But Richie Zisk tied things up with a two-run moonshot off of Satchel Paige and the two teams were off to extra innings!
Things remained knotted at four apiece until the top of the 9th when Shannon ran out of eligible pitchers and outfielder Monte Irvin was forced to rake the mound. The Eagles hitters took advantage of poor Monte, scoring twice on doubles by Brad Ausmus and Robin Roberts. Roberts then slammed the door in the bottom of the ninth with a 1-2-3 inning in his sixth inning of scoreless relief!
Final Score: Savanna 6, Shannon 4

Chadwick Silver Streaks @ Milledgeville Missiles, Milledgeville H.S.
This contest remained scoreless until the bottom of the 3rd when the Missiles Rickey Henderson scored Harry Craft with a sacrifice fly. The Streaks recaptured the lead two innings later, however, when Ed Robinson crushed a Todd Worrell offering over the fence for a 2-1 Chadwick advantage.
Milledgeville had the final say in the bottom of the sixth against Steve Karsay. Henderson walked to lead the inning off and quickly stole second. Max Carey tripled him home to tie the game and soon scored on a Joey Votto sacrifice fly.

Lanark Beavers @ Mt. Carroll Hawks, Point Rock Park
Welcome to the Ricky Vaughn show! The young pitcher with the blazing fastball was dominant against the Lanark lineup! Ricky threw a complete game shutout! A Beavers tally in the third and two more in the fourth was more than enough support for The Wild Thing.
