Minor Details: Game of March 31

MUD HENS 7, SAINTS 4 IN TOLEDO

Toledo led 7-1 before the Saints scored three in the ninth.

No Saint had more than one hit.  Edouard Julien and Kyle Garlick each hit a solo homer.

Bailey Ober started and struck out four in three innings, but gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk.  Jose De Leon pitched three shutout innings, but then gave up two in his fourth inning, so his line is 3.1 innings, two runs, three hits, a walk, and two strikeouts.  The only Saint pitcher to go unscored upon was Austin Schulfer, who gave up two hits and struck out one in one inning.

Minor Details: The Return

I'm not going to try to go back and review all the games I missed, nor am I going to go back and choose players of the week(s).  I did think, however, that you might be interested in seeing where the teams are in the standings.  We'll resume game results tomorrow.

ST. PAUL SAINTS

The Saints are 54-55, tied for fifth place with Indianapolis in the International League West, 11.5 games behind Nashville.  They are 5-5 in their last ten games and lost their most recent game.

WICHITA WIND SURGE

The Wind Surge is 25-14, in first place in the Texas League North, five games ahead of Springfield.  They are 9-1 in their last ten games and won their last four games.

CEDAR RAPIDS KERNELS

The Kernels are 20-22, in fourth place in the Midwest League West, two games behind third-place Wisconsin, five games behind South Bend.

FORT MYERS MIGHTY MUSSELS

The Mighty Mussels are 16-24, in fifth place in the Florida State League West, three games behind fourth-place Lakeland, ten games behind Bradenton.

And just for fun, I thought I'd put standings together as if all four teams were in the same league.  It proves nothing, and I'm not pretending that it does.  I just thought it would be kind of cool.

Cedar Rapids 63-45 .583  --
Wichita             60-47 .561  2.5
Fort Myers     57-47 .548  4
St. Paul             54-55 .495   9.5
