W 3-0 Derrick Dwyer

The Calzones second shut out in 3 games must give the pitchers confidence as they approach the regular season, however it was Derrick Dwyer who gained his second player of the game of Spring training.

However many would disagree with the Dwyer choice, specially when the pitching gave up only 3 hits. Miguel Torres giving up just 1 hit in 4 innings, Roberto Rodríguez giving up 2 but striking out 3 in his 3 innings of work and Pedro Torres going hitless in his 2 innings for the save.

L 5-6 (14) Bum-kyoo 'Box Elder' Kim

A loss was chalked up on the Calzones board as the Lions gained revenge on the San Antonio ball club, the Calzones had best Amsterdam in the first game of ST by a score of 8-2.

The Calzones can take some comfort that the score was closer and it took 15 innings for the Lions to win, Ash Thompson will gain little comfort in that fact as he gave up the winning run.

Thompson had come into the game having pitched 4.2 innings of scoreless innings throw in the fact he'd pitched 3 more innings in this game, you were getting close to a full game of scoreless innings for the relief pitcher.

"If he can transfer the way he's pitched in ST into the regular season I'll be more than happy".

Tadakuni Hayashi, Calzones Pitching Coach.

W 4-1 Andy 'Numbers' Edwards

The Calzones got back to winning ways with a 4-1 win over the Scottish Claymores, a win that made it a double over the Claymores in ST.

Andy 'Numbers' Edwards was the player of the game but it was a true team effort with 7 players getting on base with the bar and 2 more by out witting the Claymores pitchers by walking.

Combine that with 4 pitchers giving up just 1 run of 5 hits and the actual player of the game were the Calzones roster.

L 3-4 (12) Connor 'Click' Clavell

The Calzones couldn't do the double over the Alleghenies like they had done in the previous game against the Claymores, however it was a close fought game that went to 12 innings.

Everything was going smoothly until Juan Garanzuay had a blip on his solid ST performance giving up 3 runs from 4 hits but also walking 2, a truly unJuan performance although it's unlikely to deny his chances of starting on Opening Day.

L 1-5 Adrián Fuentes

In 5 previous defeats the Calzones had lost by a combined 5 runs, they nearly lost by more than that in one game against Arlington so easily becoming there heaviest defeat since the new GM took over.

It may have been there heaviest defeat but the Calzones are riding a wave of confidence not only because there winning more than there losing, what this defeat does to there confidence only time will tell.

L 2-3 Dale 'Hamburger' Spencer

A bitter pill to swallow, it wasn't so much the fact it was the second defeat to the Thoroughbreds it was the fact both games were by 1 run.

Not only that but the Calzones had led 2-1 going into the 9th, if only the Calzones could find a lights out bullpen they could be on a magical journey in 2034.
