MLB Recap


The Beach Boys (3-5) start a 2-game set on Tuesday against the Honolulu Sharks. Games will be 3:00 at Hans L'Orange.

Game 7-Recap

When I went to sleep last night, I expected to wake up and find that Jeremy Bleich had indeed taken the loss for the Waikiki Beach Boys. Bleich lasted only 3.1 innings giving up 3 earned runs on 6 hits. When I "checked out" the Beach Boys were down 5-2 late in the game.

So, I was very surprised to find that the Beach Boys actually came back like teams often do in wacky minor league games. They scored 4 in the top of the ninth to go up 6-5 over the Honu, taking Bleich off the hook for the loss.

The story doesn't end there, as Gameday shows. The Beach Boys ended up losing 7-6.

MLB Recap

Damon Sublett was the DH and started the night with a golden sombrero before finishing 1 for 5.

Rematch at 1:00 p.m today at Hans L'orange.

Game 6-Brackman Rebounds

Andrew Brackman bounced back nicely in his second professional outing, earning the 3-1 win over the North Shore Honu. Andrew gave up just 3 hits in five scoreless innings. The efficient outing on 63 pitches (42 strikes) was particularly impressive, as Brackman struck out 5 of the 18 batters he faced.

Damon Sublett got the Beach Boys on the board with an RBI single in the sixth inning of the then scoreless game. Sublett went 1-for-3 before being lifted for a defensive subsitution in the 7th.

Brackman's final line: 5.0IP 3H 0R BB 5K

Boxscore and Gameday.

The Beach Boys and the Honu go at it again on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. Jeremy Bleich follows Brackman in the rotation.

Game 5-Wallopalooza

Austin Romine picked up his first hit in winter ball, as he and Damon Sublett helped the Beach Boys notch their first win in an 11-2 rout of the previously unbeaten Cane Fires.

The highlight of the game was a busy, six-run second inning in which Romine drew a 1-out walk and scored on Sublett's bases-clearing single. Sublett was credited with 2 RBI as he advanced to second on a throwing error. Sublett scored as the next batter hit a double to make it 6-0. That was just part of the second inning.

The rest of the action and boxscore can be found on Gameday. Sublett finished 2 for 4 with 4 RBI. Romine went 2 for 3, scoring two runs and drawing two walks.

Game tomorrow. Same time, same place, different opponent. The Beach Boys start a new series against the North Shore Honu. Sorry, no radio broadcast or internet stream.

Update: Recap from mlb.com.

Game 4-Sublett Mystery?

The BeachBoys (0-4) are still in search of that elusive first win, as the Canefires came from behind to remain unbeaten.

Good news for Yankee second base prospect Damon Sublett, though, as he got his first hit of the season. After striking out in the first inning, Sublett rapped a lead-off double in the bottom of the fourth. However, he was promptly replaced by a pinch-runner. Not sure what the story was there, but I'll let you know if anything comes out.

Here's the recap.

Rematch today. Same time, same place.

______________________________________

Here's an interesting tidbit. Seems like Sublett's played in Hawaii before as a member of the prominent Wichita State Shockers. It would also appear that Sublett did some closing as well. Here's a recap from the Honolulu Star Bulletin (2/25/05):

Wichita State starter Mike Pelfrey allowed two hits through eight innings to lead the Shockers past Hawaii-Hilo 4-1 yesterday in college baseball at Simmons Field in Kona.

Pelfrey struck out six and gave way to Damon Sublett, who didn't allow a hit in the ninth.
