Re: Austin Outlaws (ASB 2004)



Spring Training

The Austin Outlaws left Arizona today to head back home and rest up for opening day. They finished out their Spring Training a disappointing 3-7. Darin Erstad stole the spotlight, batting an incredible .437 with 4 home runs and 10 RBIs in 8 games. However, the player that impressed coaching the most was shortstop Cesar Izturis. He batted an even .500 in 6 games, and it looks as if he has earned his starting shortstop position over Royce Clayton.

AL West Standings
ANA-9-5
OAK-7-4
TEX-5-4
SEA-4-4
AUS-3-7


Spring Training Top Hitter: Darin Erstad- 8 GP, .437 BA, 4 HRs, 10 RBIs

Spring Training Top Pitcher: Andy Ashby- 2 GS, 14.0 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 10 K's, 1.29 ERA

Spring Training Surprise: Cesar Izturis- 6 GP, .500 BA, 0 HR, 2 RBIs, 2 SB

Spring Training Disappointment: Andy Pettitte- 2 GS, 9 IP, 16 H, 8 ER, 2 K's, 8.00 ERA

Re: Austin Outlaws (ASB 2004)

Opening Day

Red Sox @ Outlaws

Pedro Martinez (0-0) @ Andy Pettitte (0-0)

It was opening day at Enzo Field today, and a sell out crowd was on hand to witness the first game of the Austin Outlaws Franchise. The Red Sox got off to an early lead when Andy Pettitte walked Jeremy Giambi, and Trot Nixon capitilized with a 2 run shot in the 2nd inning. The Outlaws answered back when Tino Martinez got an RBI triple in the third. From then on, Pedro Martinez was just too dominating, striking out 11 in 8 innings of work, and only allowing 5 hits. Pettitte was pulled after the 8th inning, and Kyle Farnsworth came in hopes of keeping the game close. These hopes were shattered when Nomar Garciaparra hit a lead off home run, followed by a string of 3 hits and 3 runs. After the 9th, the Red Sox now had a commanding 6-1 lead. The Outlaws did their best to come back, and even after a 2 run home run by Loretta, the Outlaws fell 6-3. Loss: 6-3

Outlaws
Lorretta- 3 AB, 1 H, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Darin Erstad- 4 AB, 2 H, 1 RBI

Red Sox
Nomar Garciaparra- 4 AB, 2 H, 1 HR, 2 RBIs
Trot Nixon- 3 AB, 1 H, 1 HR, 2 RBIs
Johnny Damon- 4 AB, 3 H, 1 SB

WP- Pedro Martinez (1-0) - 8 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 11 K
LP- Andy Pettitte (0-1)- 7 IP, 4 H, 10 K, 1 HR

Player of the game- Pedro Martinez- 8 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 11 K
