Midwest League Action: Games of August 20, 2009

Complete scoreboard

@Wisconsin 9, Cedar Rapids 4: Batting .241 usually doesn't make one a hitting savant. Of course, things can change when you've hit safely in 17 of 19 games this month.

Great Lakes 18 @ South Bend 4: Unacceptable. There were probably a lot of words South Bend manager Mark Haley might have been tempted to use to describe his team's 18-4 whipping at the hands of Great Lakes Thursday night in Midwest League baseball action, but Haley settled on unacceptable.

@Dayton 5, West Michigan 4: What looked like a sure seventh straight loss turned into a 5-4 victory by Dayton over West Michigan. The Whitecaps allowed only two hits through eight innings, then four more in the ninth, including Sosa’s two-run double over center fielder Ben Guez’s head to win it at Fifth Third Field.

Lansing 15 @Fort Wayne 7:
Simon Castro lasted all the way to history. Dexter Carter didn’t even make it past sundown.

Forty-eight hours after Castro threw the first no-hitter in Fort Wayne franchise history, the Lansing Lugnuts – last in the Eastern Division of the Midwest League, and No. 1 in the nightmares of Carter, the TinCaps’ 6-foot-6 right-hander – made hash of the TinCaps on Thursday night at Parkview Field.
@Quad Cities 5, Burlington 4: Tony Pena Jr. took a step forward Thursday night in his transformation from the field to the pitcher's mound, but he didn't get the win.

@Peoria 3, Clinton 0: If a Midwest League team is going to get into an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel, it doesn’t hurt to have a Major League pitcher make a rehab start.

@Beloit 5, Kane County 1: Look hard enough and you can find a silver lining in almost anything.
