ANDY DEWEY OF THE DAYTON BRONCOS HAD 89 STIRKE OUT IN 65 INNINGS THIS YEAR WITH A 1.05 ERA HE GIVE IT ALL HE HAD -- WANTED THE BALL EVERY GAME DAYTON PLAYED. I AM SURE THERE ARE PITCHERS WITH BETER WON / LOSS RECORDS, AND PITCHERS THAT STAND TALLER ---- BUT I AM ALSO SURE THERE ARE NOT MANY THAT TOOK THE HILL EVERY GAME WITH MORE HEART OR DETERMINATION. IT WAS A JOY TO WATCH HIM PITCH THIS YEAR. WHEN HE WAS NOT ON THE BUMP HE PLAYED A PRETTY GOOD SHORT STOP. BATTING OVER 400 AND WITH AN ON BASE ADV. OF OVER 600. HE HAD 40 STOLEN BASES INCLUDING "HOME" 4 TIMES. HE WAS NOT CAUGHT STEALING IN DISTRICT PLAY. FOR THE TOTAL PACKAGE ANDY DEWEY ---- MVP

Dayton's Andy Dewey has 74 k's in 53 innings

Dayton's season in a nut shell. I don't think they would call that 8th inning "infield single" a hit even in tee ball. A tee baller may have made the play. the first "wild pitch" --- called strike two. Dewey pitches 3 innings of no hit ball --- SOMEBODY SURE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE A PLAY EVERY NOW AND THEN. IT is a wonder how Dewey keeps his cool out there some times.

Friday will be Dewey's turn in the rotation --- although the PNG game will be a big and important game, so is this Nederland game.The broncos need to take them one at a time and not look ahead. If yoou get a chance to but Nederland in your rear view mirror you have to do it. Pickle is capable of pitching well either game and I believe he will do well --- don't forget about the Smesny kid - PNG will be his turn in the rotation and he is also showing signs of taking care of business. I say pitch Dewey ---- Dayton by 4.

DEWEY DID NOT PITCH -- HE PLAYED SHORT AND HAD 2 HITS SCORING 4 RUNS WITH 1 STEAL. MASSEY HAD 3 HITS DRIVING IN 4 RUNS I BELIEVE. THE BRONCOS HIT THE BALL WELL I THINK THEY HAD CLOSE TO 15 HITS. THIS WAS A TEAM EFFERT -- GOOD PITCHING AND GOOD HITTING. BOTH TEAMS HAD SOME COSTLY ERROR BUT ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GOOD GAME.

MR. SMESNY IS A SOPH. AND DOING A GREAT JOB FOR THE BRONCOS. HE HAD 5 STRIKE OUTS, WALKED 3, AND HIT ONE BATTER. HE WAS IN TOTAL CONTROL OF THE GAME. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE FRANK STEP UP. THE FUTURE LOOKS BRITE FOR THIS YOUNG BRONC............. GREAT JOB

PLAYER OF THE WEEK --- ANDY DEWEY OF THE DAYTON BRONCOS. WITH ALL THE PITCHING TALK IT IS EASY TO OVER LOOK WHAT MR. DEWEY DOES AT THE PLATE. HE DOES NOT HIT THE HOME RUNS THE OTHER WORTHY CANDIDATES HIT BUT THE LEAD OFF HITTER FOR THE BRONCOS MAKES IT INTERESTING ON THE BASE PATHS. LUMBERTON -- 3 FOR 5, 3 STEALS -- WAS STEALING HOME TO CAUSE THE BAULK IN BOTTOM OF 7. SCORE 3 RUNS OZEN -- 1 FOR 3, 2 STEALS -- SCORE 2 RUNS VIDOR -- 1 FOR 3 DOUBLE 2 RBI, 3 STEALS INCLUDING HOME IN THE FIRST, SCORE 3 RUNS LCM -- 1 FOR 2 TRIPLE, SCORE 2 RUNS IN THE FIRST INNING HE WAS HIT BY A PITCH -- STOLE SECOND, THIRD, AND HOME AGAIN. IN THE SEVENTH WITH THE TYING RUN IN SCORING POSITION HE WAS WALKED INT. MR. DEWEY WAS A BUSY YOUNG MAN THIS WEEK.

FOR PITCHER OF THE WEEK ANDY DEWEY OF THE DAYTON BRONCOS. HE SURE HAS BEEN THE TOPIC OF A LOT OF CONVERSATION LATELY. HE PITCHED 15 1/3 INNINGS --- 17 1/3 IF YOU COUNT THE LUMBERTON GAME SATURDAY. IN THOSE INNINGS HE HAD 27 STRIKEOUTS. GOING 2 WINS 1 LOSS AND 1 SAVE. I THINK WHAT HAS BEEN OVER LOOKED WITH ALL THE TALK ABOUT HOW OFTEN HE PITCHED IS HOW GOOD HE REALLY IS.

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
