Post-Game Notes (March 5)

George Azzi got the start at shortstop for the Sharks today. . . . Six different Sharks struck out in today's game. The team total of 8 Ks was down significantly from yesterday's total of 14 (but still not something to write home about). . . . Through two games, Daniel Williams has reached base safely five times in seven plate appearances. . . . Brooks Fitch and Michael Gwyn were both recipients of intentional walks in today's game. Both intentional walks followed sacrifice bunts, one by Geoff Roth and one by Stephen Williams. (The Sharks did not score after either sacrifice/intentional walk combination.) . . . Twelve of the sixteen outs recorded with Jason Puklus on the mound came on fly balls. Centerfielder Daniel Williams recorded all three outs in the fifth inning and two of the three outs in the second inning. . . . Two of South Gate's pitchers--the starter and the closer--were named "Isaac." . . . First baseman Brooks Fitch nailed a runner with a perfect throw to catcher Stephen Williams in the seventh inning. There's nothing unusual about that, except for the fact that the out was recorded at third base. . . . Phil Johnson returns from a three-game suspension on Monday. . . . Coach Jason Cavnar's ejection in the eighth inning kept him out of the JV game as well.
