This post may be a little behind schedule, but I hope you enjoy some of the nuggets I was able to dig out of the April Brassball numbers.
.879 - OPS by Fleetwood hitters.
0 - Isotope base stealers thrown
out.
1 - runs scored minus runs allowed
for Metropolis, who still went 10-18 on the month.
1 - successful steals off Superior's
Scott Diamond, in six attempts.
1.79 - ERA by Cook County's bullpen.
4 - intentional walks issued to Hop
Heads John Jaso and Skip Schumacher, more than most other teams.
4 - the number of ballpark homers
Metropolis hitters collected in their 36 chances.
5 - the strikeouts Hanley Ramirez
had in eight at bats during a 16 inning game against Simi Valley.
5 - times Latrobe teammates Ben
Revere and John Jay were each caught stealing.
6 - California's wins in six one-run
games on its way to a 20-8 month.
10 - runners cut down by the arms in
Tinley's outfield.
10 - saves for Parkland in ten
chances, the only team without a blown save.
10 - runners knocked home by
Tinley's Garret Jones against Brew City on April 7.
12 - ballpark home run chances for
Cook County, a league low.
19 - pitches thrown wildly by North Georgia pitchers.
27 - walks by Brew City starter
Edinson Volquez, six more than the next pitcher on the list. (He also led
the league in steals allowed.)
31 - league-leading sacrifice bunt
attempts by Santa Barbara.
58 - bases stolen off Portsmouth
pitchers and catchers. Compare to the two stolen off Simi Valley.
66 - runs Fleetwood scored in its
seven games against Tinley.
129 - Sacramento's magic number,
given its six-game lead over Metropolis and North Georgia.
And, the most amazing number:
4 - number of games North Georgia
free agent acquisition Tom Gorzelanny lost in the team's first four games of
the year. (He also lost game six, to be 0-5 on April 6.)
