Threshers & Cardinals Split Double Header

Carpenter & Savery Unable to Get Wins Despite Solid Efforts

July 8 - Game 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 R H E
Cardinals 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 9 1
Threshers 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 3 10 2
Box Score

Just a quick recap today because of the late ending. Joe Savery took the Threshers to within one out of a complete game shutout in game one of the double header, but the Bullpen could not secure the regulation win. The Cardinals rallied to tie the game in the seventh, and then went on top in the eighth. In the bottom of the eighth the Threshers rallied for two runs and clinched game one.

July 8 - Game 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E
Cardinals 0 1 0 3 1 1 0 6 9 3
Threshers 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 4 5 2
Box Score

In the second game of the night Andrew Carpenter and the Threshers' offense both got off to a great start with the Threshers leading 4-1 after three innings of play. Unfortunately the offense would go silent, and Carpenter ran into some trouble after that.

Carpenter had been terrific in his first few starts at Clearwater since coming off of the DL, but the Cardinals pounded him with five doubles over the fourth and fifth innings to climb on top 5-4, and they would eventually win by a score of 6-4 in the end.

The Threshers will have a noon game on Wednesday afternoon, so I won't get to attend the game (damn work schedule!), but I will get a write up on the board as soon as I get home this evening.
