Game Two:

LHP DONNIE HUME: Selected by the Mariners in the 8th round of San Diego State University.

AZTEC: Hume was 4-2 with a 3.07ERA in seven starts in his final season at SDSU. That season ended after surgery to remove a small bone spur in his pitching elbow on May 7.

FAMOUS ALUM: Hume played for Vacaville High School and earned All-Monticello Empire League honors as a senior. Major leaguer Jermaine Dye also went to Vacaville High School.

ON THE CAPE: Hume was a member of the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox in the Cape Cod League in the summer of 2006. Was 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA for the Sox.

FIRST PRO START: Hume is made his professional debut as the starting pitcher in the second game of the doubleheader against the Quad Cities River Bandits on April 5, 2008

IT WAS A GOOD ONE: Hume pitched five shutout innings for the victory in the 2-0 Rattler win. The only hit he allowed was a one out double in the bottom of the fifth. He struck out five and walked a pair for the win.

LAST START: Hume picked up his second win of the season with a victory over the Beloit Snappers on April 20. In that start, he allowed three runs on five hits over five innings with four walks and seven strikeouts. Wisconsin scored three times in the top of the sixth inning to take a 4-3 lead and Hume picked up the win as the bullpen held that lead to the end.

VS. BELOIT: The start on April 20 Hume’s first appearance against the Snappers.

VS. TWINS: The start on April 20 was Hume’s first appearance against an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.
