the scoring in the bottom of the first. Mike Pearson reached
on an error by the 3rd baseman. Brian Schroeder followed with
a booming triple to right-center field. Union Hill tied the
game in the top of the second on a base hit, error, and a sacrifice
fly. However, the Millers plated 3 in the bottom of the inning
to regain the lead. Pete Buesgens led off with a single to
left field. He stole 2nd and advanced to 3rd when Brian Martin
reached on a error. Martin stole second and both scored on
Chris Rook's base hit to left. Rook later scored on a
groundout. Union Hill showed why they were the 4th best team
in the state last year by rallying for 4 runs in the top of the
third, taking a 5-4 lead. The damage was done on three hits, a
hit batter, a walk and an error by the Millers.
The Millers bounced right back into the lead in the 3rd, scoring
three times. A double by Martin plated John Noonan and Rook's
2nd hit of the night scored Buesgens and Martin. Union Hill
added a run in the 5th but could not plate the tying run. On
the mound, Troy Mahoney recorded his 3rd win of the season, allowing
just 6 hits while striking out four. He did allow 6 runs but
only 2 were earned.

Millers 2
|
|
|
The Millers traveled to
New Hope and fell to the Bandits 5-2. Although Jordan outhit
New Hope 8-3, walks and defense decided this game. New Hope
drew 9 walks to the Millers 1 and two costly Millers errors led to
three unearned runs. New Hope opened the scoring in the first
on three walks and a wild pitch. The Millers tied it in the
3rd when Brian Martin's sacrifice fly plated Donnie Hartmann.
However, the tie was short-lived as the Bandits put two on the board
with a hit, a walk, a hit batter and a Millers error. The
Millers scratched their way back to a one run game when Brian
Schroeder singled in Larry Gessler. However, that's as close
as they would get. Gessler (1-1) took the loss on the mound,
going 4 innings. He allowed just 2 hits but walked 6 and hit a
batter.

Islanders 11 Jordan Millers 5

Two bad innings and too
many walks spelled doom for the Millers as they lost their 2nd
straight game. Troy Mahoney (2-1) cruised through the first 3
innings, allowing no runs and just one hit. The Millers opened
the scoring as a Chris Rook double plated Brian Buesgens in the
second. However, the Islanders used three hits and three walks
to plate 4 in the 4th and three hits and five walks to plate 6 in
the 5th. The Millers rallied for four in the bottom of the 7th
but it was too little, too late.

Millers 4 St. Louis Park Cardinals 2
|
|
|
The Jordan Millers ran
their record to 6-2 with a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Park Cardinals
(4-4). Larry Gessler (1-0) picked up the win, throwing 5
innings of one hit ball. He struck out 4 and walked three.
Greg Pasdernik pitched the final two frames, allowing one earned run
on 3 hits.
Offensively, the Millers did all the scoring they would need in the
second inning. Troy Mahoney led off the inning with a base hit
up the middle. That was followed by an infield single by Larry
Gessler. Chris Rook walked to load the bases and Bill
Piotroski singled sharply to right, plating Mahoney and pinch runner
Pat Stadler. A walk by Brian Buesgens re-loaded the bases with
no outs. Back to back fielders choices by Mike Pearson and
Pete Buesgens scored the other two runs in the inning. A
troubling spot for the Miller offense was leaving 6 runners in
scoring position. However, the pitching kept the Cardinal bats
at bay and the victory put the Millers into first place in the Red
Division of the River Valley League, a half game ahead of the Veseli
Vulcans (6-3).
The Millers will enjoy the 4th of July holiday before welcoming the
St. Peter Saints to town on July 8th. The Saints were the 2008
Class AA runner-ups and defeated the Millers twice last year by
scores of 6-2 and 4-2. Game time is 7:30pm.

“Walks Will
Haunt” is an old baseball adage. The Jordan Alers proved it
to be true by walking 13 Millers batters. Add in a hit batter
and 7 hits and the Millers had themselves a 10-0 victory over the
Alers on Baseball Day. Troy Mahoney ran his record to 2-0,
throwing the 2 hit shutout. He struck out five while walking
only two.
After a scoreless first, the Millers put 3 on the
board in the second. Brian Schroeder walked to lead off the
inning, stole 2nd and 3rd, and scored on a wild pitch. Two
walks, a hit batter and a two-run single by Mike Pearson led to the
other runs. In the 3rd inning, the Millers added two more runs
on a hit and two walks. The 5-0 lead was stretched to 8-0 with
three more in the 3rd inning. After two were out, Pearson
walked, advanced to 2nd on a balk and scored on a Pete Buesgens
single. Brian Martin walked and John Noonan collected his 2nd
hit. Buesgens and Martin scored on a Brian Buesgens base hit.
In the bottom of the 5th, the Millers ended the game by the
10-run rule. Four walks and a Martin
base hit up the middle plated the final two runs.
Offensively, John Noonan’s two hits
led the way. Noonan’s average for the year is a robust .692
on the season.
