Midwest League Action: Games of July 7, 2009

Complete scoreboard

Wisconsin 1 @ Burlington 1: The Burlington Bees and Wisconsin Timber Rattlers got in five innings before the rain caused suspension of the Midwest League game at Community Field.

@West Michigan 5, Dayton 4: It took West Michigan Whitecaps left fielder Brent Wyatt seven innings Tuesday afternoon to figure out what he was doing wrong at the plate.

South Bend 5 @ Lansing 3 (12 innings):"We have a long way to go in the second half," McCullough said. "We have to get something going."

@Fort Wayne 4, Great Lakes 0: Dean Anna had appeared in only two of the TinCaps’ previous 10 games. But the backup infielder didn’t show any rust Tuesday.

@Cedar Rapids 8, Quad Cities 3:
The proudest moment of Matt Crawford’s life came in May.

It didn’t have a thing to do with baseball. The Cedar Rapids Kernels outfielder checked the mail one day and found he had a package from Mercer College in Macon, Ga.

It was his diploma.

“I’ll just put it this way, my mom was crying over the phone when I called and told her I got it. She was so happy,” said Crawford, whose three hits helped Cedar Rapids to its eighth straight victory last night, 8-3, over Quad Cities at Memorial Stadium. “My parents stressed when I was little to get a college degree. That just made their day. That was way more important than baseball.”

Yet this baseball thing seems to be working out, too.
@Peoria 7, Beloit 3: Chiefs version

Kane County 10 @ Clinton 0: “He pitched an extremely good game, and you got to tip your cap to a guy that does that,” said Clinton manager Scott Steinmann of Capra’s outing. “We’re a decent offensive team, and we move on to tomorrow.”
