The Sommer Frieze

CC gave up a double and single in the first for a run, but through two has given up just that one run, two hits, and has 3 Ks.

Jeter singled in two in a 3-run 2nd. CC gave up a hit in the 3rd, but had a scoreless inning.

Nice outing for CC. 4 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 0 walks and 6K. The CC we want to see on Opening Night.

Meanwhile, Alex went deep in the 3rd. 4-1 Yanks after 3 1/2.   

Well, for one day I am a genius. My upset special—Cornell over Temple—came through.

Another good inning for CC. 5 IP, 1 R, 4 H, no walks and 7 K.

5 1/3 for CC he gives up a run in the 6th. His final statline: 5 1/3, 2 R, 4 H, 2 walks and 8 K. Not bad at all.

Albaladejo finished the 6th, gave up a hit, got a K. 2/3 of an inning. By far his best showing of what has been a poor spring.

The maestro, Mariano, has a 1-2-3 seventh inning, 1 K. 4-2 Yanks after 6 1/2.

Jon Weber, who like Colin Curtis is having a good spring, doubled and scored in the 7th. SF by Kevin Russo. Weber and Curtis are making bids to be mid-season injury callups. 5-2 Yanks.

 A scoreless inning for Royce Ring, who is trying to make the team (along with Boone Logan) as a second lefty to Marte in the bullpen. The odds aren’t good for either, but Ring and Logan have done well this spring. A K and a walk, no hits from Ring.

Weber singled in a run in the 8th. Ryan Pope pitched a scoreless 9th to close out the Yanks’ 6-2 win.

Weber, 32, is a career minor leaguer who hit .302-14-69 for Durham (Tampa’s system, AAA) last year.

So far today, I am a perfect 7 for 7 in my NCAA picks.   :-)
