W 3-2 Gonzalo González

The media and opposition fans remain solid in there belief that this is only ST, the Calzones view on this we can only keep winning games no matter if there ST or regular season games.

They chalked up yet another win there 5th in 7 games, it may have been close it may have been ugly but as the placard in the Calzones locker room states "A Wins A Win".

W 4-2 Yasunari Fujihara

After being picked up in FA on a 1 year contract paying $1,300,000, Fujihara made his debut and didn't disappoint. He lead the pitching staff like a veteran he is, his stats line read 1 run, 1 hit, 3 rbi and a walk on 3 at bats with his rbi coming of a 2 out home run in the top of the 9th to break a 1-1 tie.

W 8-6 Clyde Stinton

Roberto Rodríguez is a dark horse for a spot on the starting day roster, he may well be a front runner for a minor league spot after this outing.

He threw 37 pitches in 1.2 innings and gave up only 3 hits but 2 of those hits went deep and had 4 runs tagged onto them, however 2 walks didn't help in a game the Calzones won but one that Roberto will want to forget on a personal level.

L 2-3 Gilberto Fernández

A rare loss came on the back of another
Gilberto Fernández player of the game performance in which he couldn't stop Florida from taking the game 3-2, Fernández only had 1 hit but it accounted for all the Calzones runs when he hit a 2 run dinger in the 3rd that gave San Antonio a 2-0 lead.

A rare lapse by Juan Alfaro a usually trusted arm gave the game to the team from Florida, Alfaro gave up 2 runs of 4 hits with the Calzones leading 2-1 in the bottom of the 8th after the Farstriders pulled the game back to 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th of a Gordon "Sturm" Knopp single which scored José 'Thrillseeker' Reyes.

W 11-0 Jorge Flores

A disappointing loss the day before against the Florida Farstriders turned into the Calzones biggest win of Spring Training, 11-0 the scoreline in what was a slugfest for the Calzones.

9 of the runs came within the bottom of the 1st, Jorge Flores could have actually gained the Player of the Game in the 1st inning alone. In his first at bat he got on with a single, crossing the plate on a Cedeño single. Later in the inning he came to the plate with the bases loaded, facing Chris Miller in a 2-1 count were he advanced not only the runners but himself around the narrow the with a fly ball deep into the outfield seats.

Flores ended the game with another couple of hits and crossed the plate a couple more times to be involved in more than half of the 11 runs, for a deserved player of the game.

W 7-4 Gilberto Fernández

If the bullpen can play it safe this season then the Calzones may have a chance of surprising the PEBA, during ST San Antonio have taken the lead in most of there games so far and lost it seldom. This game was no different, the Calzones took the lead in the 1st and extended it in the 5th, despite a dodgy 6th and 7th they held in for another win there 9th out of 13th in ST.
