Win-Daneff  Loss-Hamblet

WHAT IS ON THIS PAGE:




WRITTEN BY ANDY STERNS

It's a long bus ride from Fairbanks down to Anchorage, but don't expect Goldpanners head coach Ed Cheff to fill the time giving Knute Rockne-style speeches to his troops, as they travel down the Parks Highway to begin their second road trip of the season.

"Baseball isn't a game where you give 'em a pep talk everyday," said Cheff Sunday night, after the Panners lost 6-1 to the Anchorage Glacier Pilots, in the finale of a 14- game homestand. It was a contest in which the confidence, timely punch and intelligent approach the Panners have displayed at the plate in home games all season, was mysteriously missing.

"We played pretty well here during this streak," said Cheff. "But you would like to think the team would have the ability to play hard every night. I don't care if you play 20 or 25 games in a row, you still have to put forth the effort."

The Panners posted an impressive 11-3 record during the recent homestand, but Cheff was clearly frustrated by his team's performance on Sunday, when the Goldpanners failed to capitalize after creating scoring opportunities.

The Panners nearly matched the Pilots hit for hit- with eight to their nine- but managed just that single run: scored by Ray Ravago in the third inning, after he led off the inning with a single and took second on a throwing error, then advanced to third on a Trevor Mortensen base hit and was driven in by Johnny Coit's sacrifice fly to left field.

The Panners left a total of 10 men on base -six in scoring position- during Sunday's game, left the bases loaded in the seventh, and left Cheff perplexed by the choices his team of usually well-disciplined hitters made at the plate.

"We had no mentality in our hitting tonight," said Cheff.. "We didn't have very good (at bats)."


But as they readied to hit the road again- where wins were tough to come by for the Panners on their first trip when they finished 1-5 -they'll try to make a run at locking up the Alaska Baseball League title, and Cheff said he expects the team to be more successful this second time around.

"It would surprise me if we didn't play well on this trip," said Cheff. "If their goal is to go to Wichita, which I think it is, that should be enough motivation for them."

Cheff pointed to pitching ("The pitching staff is in better shape now," he said Sunday) as key to winning more games on the road; and with the addition of one more experienced starting pitcher, Fullerton lefty Scott Sarver and the recent lights-out, late inning appearances from Kenny Maiques and Ryan Shaver out of the bullpen, the Panners should prove this week that they can consistently win games on the south side of the Alaska Range too.

And while the only Goldpanner pitcher to win a game on their first road trip, Reid Hamblet, (who threw a 5-0 rain-shortened, seven inning shutout of the Pilots at Mulcahy Stadium) took the loss in Sunday's home game against the Pilots, Hamblet battled fiercely through a full six innings .


Hamlet suffered through a tough first inning, when he gave up four base hits and three runs, two of them earned; yet if not for an untimely error on a probable double play ball, with one out and men on first and second, the Panners might have escaped the inning with no damage done.

Hamblet came back though to hold the Pilots scoreless over the next four innings, allowing only three men to reach base, but when the Pilots leadoff man got on after a Panner error in the sixth inning, the Pilots regained the momentum that Hamblet had so successfully stifled, and they scored three runs in the inning, on two base hits and one hit batsman.

"He didn't pitch great, but he didn't pitch bad," said Cheff, of Hamblet?s outing. "But you can't give (the other team) more than three outs."

And commenting on the Panners missed scoring opportunities, Cheff added that, "Sometimes when you can come back, your pitcher gets new life."

An added element of intrigue within Sunday's game surfaced in bottom of the sixth inning, when the Goldpanners faced a former teammate, Jameson Hester, who is now pitching, for the Pilots.

"Getting dropped by us, he's got something to prove," said the Panners third baseman Allen Balmer, who proved all night that he could hit Pilot pitching, finishing 4-5 at the plate. "The last thing you want to do is let him prove it. "

After Hester pitched a quick sixth inning, surrendering just one hit, a single to Jordan Struble, the Panners ended his outing the very next inning, when they loaded the bases, threatening again to take a chunk out of the Pilots five -run lead.

Hester hit the Panners leadoff man, Trevor Mortensen, with a pitch, and after getting Johnny Coit and Cameron Bair both to fly out, Hester walked DH Brian Jeroloman and gave up a base hit to Balmer to load the bases. But Eli George came on in relief of Hester to face Mike Lissman, and Lissman grounded out to third, ending the Goldpanners last good scoring opportunity of the game.

With two weeks left in the season, the Panners now have two things to prove: that they can bounce back after a tough loss and that they can win more consistently on the road.

"I don't think we played that well tonight," said Balmer, after Sunday's game. "We have to come back and do well and everyone has to do it. It's hard to overcome that, but the teams that do it win. You have to show up and play hard if you want to win."

100th Anniversary (1906-2006)
6/21/06 @ Midnight

Baseball at midnight? Only in Alaska (Miami Herald) - ‘’It was weird,'’ said Brad Arnsberg, a former Marlins pitching coach, of the Midnight Sun experience. “You had to have foil on your bedroom windows just to keep the light from jumping in when you were trying to sleep. I remember, unfortunately, walking out of a couple of bars at three or four in the morning and it was broad daylight. It was kind of an odd feeling.'’
