 | Saturday, July 28th, 2007: Stockton Humbles Corpus Christi
A masterful pitching performance carried the Stockton Steelhawks to a 12-0 victory over Corpus Christi. Nate Cornejo held them scoreless in a complete game effort. He permitted 2 hits, had 2 strikeouts and allowed no walks.
The skipper of the Tourists said, "Cornejo was sharp. We never did figure him out."
To date in 2007, Cornejo has registered 7 starts, 3-1 won-lost mark, 1.65 ERA, 49 IP, 12 strikeouts and 7 walks. Opposing teams have hit .194 against him. |
| Tuesday, July 24th, 2007: Big Day with Bat, Phillips 5-5
Andy Phillips told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard."
Well, that's just what Phillips of the Hialeah Abbots did against the Corpus Christi Tourists. He went to the plate 5 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, much to the chagrin of the Tourists, who suffered a 10-9 defeat.
"Not much that I can say," offered the losing manager, "he just hammered the heck out of us."
A. Phillips doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
Phillips is batting .305 this year with 9 home runs, 40 RBIs and 61 runs scored. He has 113 hits in 370 at-bats. |
